Well, let’s yak about them see-through clothes, you know, the ones you can almost see right through. Folks these days, they wear all sorts of things, ain’t like when I was young. Back then, a little bit of ankle was scandalous, now they practically walking around in their underwears, but they call it fashion.
What are these see-through clothes made of? They got this thin stuff, like, real thin, they call it chiffon, georgette, gauze, all sorts of fancy names. Some are like them stretchy things they wear on their legs, tights, they call ‘em. You can see right through some of them, makes a grandma blush, I tell ya. They make shirts, pants, skirts, even them long dresses out of it. Can you imagine?
Now, I seen on that TV box, them fancy movie stars, they wearin’ this stuff on the red carpet. Yep, right there for the whole world to see. They call it trendin’, this sheer dressin’. I seen this gal, Emma somethin’-somethin’, wearin’ a dress you could practically see her belly button through. And others too, Lily and Ellie, all dolled up but still lookin’ half-naked.
If you gonna wear this stuff, you gotta be careful what you wear underneath. You don’t want your grandma’s bloomers showin’ through, do ya? So, they say you gotta wear somethin’ that matches your skin, so it don’t stick out like a sore thumb. Like them smooth bras or them tank top thingies. And for your bottom, same deal, gotta match your skin so it ain’t so obvious. Seamless they call it, sounds fancy.
Them stores, they got all sorts of this stuff now. They sayin’ it’s a way to “express yourself.” Express yourself? Back in my day, expressing yourself meant not talkin’ back to your elders. But I guess times change. You see this sheer stuff everywhere, blouses, dresses, even them jumpin’ suits, all lacy and see-through. They even got them short pants for ridin’ bikes, but you can see right through ‘em! What’s the world comin’ to, I ask ya?
- How to wear ’em? Well, they say you gotta mix it up. You can’t just wear a see-through shirt and nothin’ else, unless you want folks starin’ and your husband yellin’ at you, that is. They say you gotta wear somethin’ underneath, like I said, and then maybe somethin’ over it, like a jacket or somethin’. Gotta balance it out, they say. High-waisted bottoms too, cover up that belly button, at least.
- Pickin’ the right see-through stuff: They say some colors look better on some folks than others. Gotta match it to your skin, I guess. It’s like pickin’ the right shade of lipstick, only it’s for your whole body.
- See-through shirts: They say wear a bra or somethin’ under it. Or one of them camisole things. And them high-waisted pants again, always coverin’ up that belly button. And maybe a jacket if you’re feeling shy.
You can find these clothes everywhere now. On the internet, in them fancy stores, they even got cheap ones if you ain’t got much money. They shippin’ ‘em all over the place. They got these computer things now, you can take a picture of a dress you like, and it’ll find it for ya. Amazing what they can do these days. And they even got a lot of it online for you to choose from. Lots of new things everyday. And returns? They make it easy on you, ship it back for free.
I seen on them fashion shows, all them fancy designers makin’ this see-through stuff. And them young folks on that Instagram thing, they postin’ pictures of themselves in it. It’s everywhere, I tell ya. Even some famous men designers are makin’ this stuff. You wouldn’t believe what they wear.
So, that’s the deal with these see-through clothes. It’s all about bein’ bold, they say, expressin’ yourself. But me, I still think a little bit of mystery is a good thing. You don’t need to show everything you got, you know? But then again, what do I know? I’m just an old lady who still thinks a dress should cover your knees.
But hey, if you like it, you wear it, just remember what your grandma said about proper undergarments!
