Latex, fishnets, high heels… Everyday classics. Part I

Looking at the current fashion shows I wonder when latex will make its way into the everyday wardrobe and office clothes.

Unlike many fashion creations The pictures below look pretty normal (ordinary? usual? nothing pervy? classic?) to me. Classic suit, classic mini skirt, classic high heels, classic white shirt, classic tie, classic ponytail. Probably it’s the lycra gloves what makes the images stand out of normal Russian clothing style?

Sarah Silverman. 1x shorts, 2x pantyhose, 3x microphones

Sarah Silverman is enjoyable to look at even without “extra funny little gadgets”. But mini shorts, red pantyhose, black fishnets, high vinyl boots will definitely not hurt.

Just one question, though. What is she doing with the mikes?

Pantyhose with shorts or a skirt?

AlizeeIndeed, what do you find more sexy? Skirts or shorts? I even added a poll (on the right). I noticed that I pay more attention to girls and women wearing pantyhose with shorts. Two examples.

I noticed the pair in a local supermarket just before the closing time. A 16-18 yo boy and a 12-14 yeargirl in shorts and shiny white pantyhose girl. She was wearing light green shorts, soft fluffy boots and a short jacket. It was quite cold outside (~4°C) but I was not sure if she was wearing pantyhose. I tried to catch a glimpse of reflected light but to no avail. I asked my wife if she could tell. Neither could she, but she suggested that the girl had pantyhose on, because her skin was looking perfect and without any signs of cold weather (like skin reaction to cold wind). But the pantyhose needed to be very thin since I could not notice them.

On another day I was watching and photoshooting a local competition when a 12-14yo (yes, that age girl in fishnet pantyhose and shorts again!) girl wearing jeans shorts, black 50-70 den pantyhose and sneakers sat beside me. I tried my best to not to look at her, but it was extremely difficult. Apparently, she was utterly bored, and while trying to amuse herself somehow she was strolling between the seats, occasionally leaning against the wall behind me with one leg bent, or falling down in the chair with her legs laying over the chair arms.

Probably it’s because shorts are associated with childhood I find shorts with pantyhose more exciting? Or because I also wear shorts with pantyhose? Or because shorts reveal more of legs and conceal the rest? Or because skirts are worn more often?

Edie Sedgwick. Back to the 60s? Part III The followers

Edie Sedgwick in pantyhose(See Part I and Part II)

Her influence was and still is enormous. Lots of women are trying their best to dress like Edie, behave like Edie and look like Edie, posting revealed secrets in blogs and forums, and (what I find very funny) hissing on teenagers wearing striped shirts with opaque pantyhose:”How dare you! You don’t even know whose style it is!!!”

Edie's lookNope, she did not invent the style. She did not invent stripes, she did not invent mini. She even did not invent pantyhose. Girls and women of 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s dressed like that, without knowing who Edie was. The style is obvious. It’s the current generation who are rediscovering and reinventing pantyhose (yes, I’m simplifying 😉 abandoned by the celebrities of 2000 and rediscovering the celebrities of 60’s and 70’s.
