'Naked dressing' has ended up being a much more lasting trend than many predicted. And not surprisingly, some might say.
When I first saw this image of Kim Kardashian (below) rocking a very naked dress as if it was just another bodycon, I wondered how this could possibly be translated into a wearable everyday trend for those of us whose last name is not Kardashian, West or Jenner.

But what statements are women wearing the naked trend declaring to society?
It's about 'owning it'. Owning your right and place in the world and expressing that with fashion. As women we own 100% of our bodies and hold 100% of the choice in how we present our body to the world.
There is no way on earth anyone would dare to be seen in a naked dress without first acknowledging and loving her own body.
It is also okay, however, if you’re not quite ready to walk out bra-less in a mesh dress.
