At London Fashion Week’s Spring 2015 shows, models were bearing their breasts left, right and centre. Tom Ford recently presented sequinned nipple pasties on the runway, but Burberry, Erdem and Christopher Kane took the look one step further this week – bra-less is the new black, it seems.
Burberry’s Christopher Bailey sent out models wearing areola-revealing, see-through chiffon tank tops, accessorised with something equally as shocking – flat shoes. Erdem’s take was slightly more ladylike, with model’s nips playing peekaboo from behind pastel lace. And at Christopher Kane, models had nothing to hide behind but sheer organza sweatshirts – definitely not one to rock when it’s cold out.

You can blame/thank #FreeTheNipple for this NSFW fashion
trend, loosely tied up with the equality movement and championed by a
select group of celebs.Recently, Scout Willis raged against Instagram’s anti-nipple policy, releasing a statement explaining why the time had come for social acceptance of the nipple.
“I am not trying to argue for mandatory toplessness, or even bralessness. What I am arguing for is a woman’s right to choose how she represents her body – and to make that choice based on personal desire and not a fear of how people will react to her or how society will judge her,” she wrote.
With Cara Delevingne and Rihanna also known fans of the look, it was only a matter of time before it caught on on the high street, right?
Alternatively, you can wear a bra and avoid looking like a wardrobe malfunction altogether.
