(Somewhat) paralleling humankind’s strange
pinings for TP, the fashion sphere has a new obsession for “napkin tops.”
The risqué trend was spotted by
Who What Wear, who coined the term. It involves a single piece of delicate fabric made only for the front, with the back featuring only thin straps to tie the top together and hold it in place.
The revealing garments can be seen across new collections by independent design labels like
TROIS,
Subsurface, and
STAUD, and seem to be popping up in more places now.
Seeing as how streets have been dominated with some
crazy and unsolicited looks in the past, these dangerous but sleek pieces shouldn’t get you too mad.
The surprisingly versatile backless tops will look elegant when layered over for more conservative settings but are poised to steal glances during nights out.
