Underwear as outerwear

Wearing underwear as outerwear is a fashion trend that was made popular bycelebrities, sports, and the media made it popular. It began as a practical and comfortable variation of clothing, such as the T-shirt and the sleeveless shirt. Later, that led to fashion statements that were seen as controversial and provocative. The 21st-century versions include the display of thongs and bras in women's clothing, and the display of underpants under low-slung pants in men. The idea of wearing underwear as outerwear is not new. The display of undergarments was already popular in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.[1]
