Some words such as risque, harlot, maybe even trampy maybe race across one's brain when they lay their eyes on the pictures above. However, for those who have been paying attention to the trends in store this summer you may use the adjective trendy. My email from Necesary Clothing informing me that "skin is in" made realize this is so true. And the way skin is exposed is ever so tasteful. We're not pairing a midriff with booty shorts, we're tastefully adding cut outs or see-through lace where nothing risky is showing, or even just exposing a shoulder. You keep it trendy, they keep guessing. The trend of showing a little skin is all about knowing how to do it right. Just enough to keep it interesting! It's even crept into activewear, with most active tanks being backless. Here's some affordable and easy staples to ease you in to this trend!
