Serial stomach-flasher Emily Ratajkowski helped to bring midriff flossing into the mainstream last summer. Not only did she bare her own abs on a regular basis, she also released a collectsion of wrap-tie clothing under her brand, Inamorata.
Hailey Bieber, Zendaya, Solange, Bella Hadid, and Dua Lipa have also developed a taste for tops and dresses that offer subtle glimpses of torso—the latter wore a peep-hole Louisa Ballou “Sex Wax” dress in a holiday snap she posted last month.
Now, shoppers are ready for round two of the trend. If the thought of revealing your tummy is putting you off, try wearing a second-skin mesh top or bodysuit underneath your midriff flossing piece. There’s plenty on offer for those willing to take the plunge: Supriya Lele’s blue skirt—complete with lace-up ties to wrap around your waist—is more than worthy of a post-lockdown outing, while a cut-out blazer from Mugler is the perfect, not-so-skimpy way to get on board with the trend.
Below, Vogue highlights 22 buys to consider.
