Trend-alert: the leotard is the item of this season
And you can wear it from morning to night
January 13th, 2022
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, had sensed this for some years. The leotard is very practical, because it allows, even in case of a soft shirt-like model, that the top remains still under the pants or skirt. Which allows you to give static, avoiding unexpected displacements. Especially in winter, where layering is the order of the day. So this item, for many considered impractical, becomes the must-have to wear until the arrival of summer. The credit goes not only to the art of dressing "onion". It also goes to the trend that rages on Tiktok, or the "subversive basics", a term coined by the user @thealgorythm to indicate basic garments that have chosen to lose their usefulness to return to being iconic. And the leotard is part of this fashion divertissement. You can also wear it instead of the dress, and above the tights, or you can choose it couture, with feathers and crystals precious, or why not you can wear two overlapping. Beautiful even under a grunge jacket or with a tulle skirt, Parisian Carrie Bradshaw. Cool also as Victoria from the Maneskin proposes them, from the effect I see-not-see, or those that have paraded on the catwalk of Saint Laurent and that emulate the swimsuits.
In short, irrelevant is the initial function of this garment to be worn in place of the "tank top of health". Today the body is among the subversive basics to all intents and can have various shades, in shapes and models. Try them metallic, shirt like those of Markle, with cut-out or transparencies, with eccentric or layered details. The body today has the advantage of completely customizing the look and also to be worn under a completely different outfit - the layering effect, in fact - to keep warm during the day and surprise in the evening even with a simple pair of jeans.
