Name: Underwear.
Age: The first loincloths date from around 7,000 years ago.
Appearance: Croissant.
You mean people are wearing more and more underwear? No, they wear it more and more outside.
This is what happens when we let educational standards fall by the wayside. They wear it outside on purpose.
For what? Fashion. At recent shows, Fendi had models walking the runway wearing skirts with matching bras.
And their tops? Did they match too? Bras were the summits.
I don’t know much about designer fashion, but this is a category mistake: the bra is a basic item of clothing. Nevertheless, the bra as a top has become an established trend. It’s been creeping up on us for a while, with glimpses of bras under unbuttoned shirts.
And the shirt was finally taken out of the equation? Not always: during the Erdem show in London, crystal bras were worn over shirts.
I guess if I had a bra made of jewelry, I would want to wear it outside. All kinds of bras are reinvented as outerwear: tube bras, bandage bras, bralettes…
Bras for women who don’t need them, you mean. Meanwhile, jumpsuits are becoming popular with men.
This is not the case. Here they are: The one-piece “speed suit” favored by some elite athletes has begun to trickle down to amateur runners.
If wearing a mankini can help you win a race, it’s probably worth cramming yourself into one. The fact is that while speed suits can improve performance to some extent at a professional level, they won’t do much to improve your parkrun time.
SO men wear them just because they like the way they feel? Or what they look like. “You have to be pretty daring to wear one,” one amateur marathon runner told the Wall Street Journal. “And I think I have that boldness.”
The audacity of wearing underwear in the street. He probably doesn’t see it that way.
If walking around small makes people feel modern, who am I to judge? In fact, the idea of underwear as outerwear has been around for a while — corsetry was a popular fashion trope in the 1990s, as were slip dresses.
I guess we have superheroes to thank for all that. While it is true that Superman and others wore their pants outside, there is no evidence to suggest that this ever appealed to the general public.
Say: “There’s nothing new in fashion. Let’s not forget that the ubiquitous T-shirt was once considered underwear.”
Don’t say: “It’s eight o’clock and the Uber is here! Why aren’t you dressed yet?”
