Are we ready for the risky streetstyle?

There are looks that are unique enough to get picked up by street style photographers, and then there are looks that simply can't be ignored. There's no doubt that this completely see-through top which is worn bra-less is the one who simply can't be ignored, but the question is, how many people would dare to wear it?

This kind of look not only guarantees that an million camera clicks will sound everywhere you go, it also guarantees your photo being spread around the internet. There will be comments: some will say the wearer is an attention-grabber, some will praise her, some will question if this risque type of street fashion still belongs to fashion and some will stay out of comment.






























While we see this kind of tops in editorials and on runways frequently, we don't quite expect the same from a street style look. Especially not when going for a casual spot of lunch.

However, skin may be showed, the look somehow isn't highly sexualised. There's elegance to the spotted black tulle, the lack of any glamorous makeup. Secondly, the ease with which the outfit is worn coupled with the extreme confidence which is required to pull it off rises the question whether a cultural divide will comes into play. Will the girls on the photos simply show the evidence that the European view of nudity is more liberal than other parts of the world?

And, regardless of whether or not we expect to see something as our normal all-private-covering clothes, as long as the wearer feels confident in it, does it matter?
