"Celebrities seem to have developed a pants allergy. Bella Hadid and Julia Fox have been running errands in their underpants. Bodysuits, oversize blazers worn as dresses, and sheer fabrics that reveal the lingerie underneath are all common sights. This widespread pantsless trend has given rise to a new sort of garment, more micro than micro-shorts, bulkier than lingerie: I call it the "fashion diaper.""
"The fashion diaper differs in that it's distinctly undergarment-shaped: It may be a high-waisted brief, a bikini cut, or even a thong. It is underwear designed from the start to be worn as outerwear. It may come with accessories such as a belt; it may be bejeweled, or rendered in textured fabrics such as leather or a chunky knit. Miu Miu's 2023 fall/winter fashion show featured several pairs of panties-as-outerwear."
Celebrities and designers are increasingly wearing underwear-style bottoms as outerwear, including bodysuits, oversize blazers as dresses, and sheer fabrics that reveal lingerie. The trend has produced a garment labeled the "fashion diaper," a brief-like piece more micro than micro-shorts and bulkier than lingerie. The fashion diaper is undergarment-shaped and can be high-waisted, bikini-cut, or a thong, and it can include belts, beading, leather, or chunky knits. Major fashion houses have shown panties-as-outerwear and similarly short menswear, and the goal of the garment is to expose legs rather than the rear.
