The creator of the thong would be extremely proud

Believe it or not, this trend is most likely exactly what the creator of the thong would have wanted. According to Vogue, Rudi Gernreich, the creator of the first thong bikini, said in a memoir, “The Thong is my response to a contradiction in our society: nudity is here; lots of people want to swim and sun themselves in the nude; also lots of people are still offended by public nudity.” Celebrities and influencers alike seem to be fully on board with Gernreich’s plans for thong domination.
There’s a good chance that this fashion trend is just that — a trend. Eventually, celebrities will move on to something even more forward-leaning, or, you know, the weather will get colder and they’ll be forced to put their butts away. Only time will tell how many thongs we’ll see before the trend turns back into a major faux pas.

In fact, it’s actually considered chic in some cases. Don’t tell Grandma, but this might be the next trend to try at home.
Sheer dresses pair nicely with exposed underwear

Kylie Jenner took a page from her big sister’s playbook and showed off her thong as well. Jenner, who recently announced that she is pregnant with her second child, wore a sheer bodysuit and black underwear on her Instagram page. Just like the other two A-listers, she went full glam, with a classic pair of minimalist underwear to rock the look. It looks like the key to nailing this barely-there ensemble is to get a delicate, neutral pair of undies and act like it’s totally normal that they’re showing through your dress.
These women make it look so effortless to show up in your underwear. If you try it for yourself, don’t forget to put your confidence on along with your thong.
