ON TREND – THE BRALET

It seems like some designers have been brushing up on their Fifty Shades of Grey lately, as the tone for summer 2013 RTW is set to hot! There’s nothing like showing a little skin. These days, the runways are painting an inviting color of provocative, with all sizes, shapes and color bralets leading the way. At first glance, you might label that tasteless. But before you do, remember to wear your bottoms waist high!

So let’s see what the experts had in mind. (Balenciaga, Balmin, Victoria Beckham, Kenzo)

One look at these options and the thought of ‘I wish I was as rich as much as I was beautiful’  springs to mind …. but keep your hair on! You can easily dig up any old tee shirt and cut it up. You can also check out what your local stores have to offer.

The black bralet and a skater skirt mix will have you stealing any show but if La Femme Fatale is not your cup of tea, don’t worry! The best thing about bralets is that they come in many shapes and forms. You can just as easily pull off a casual daily wear combination. All you need is a pair of cropped boyfriend jeans and edgy leopard sneakers!
