Ready or Not: This Revealing Trend Is About to Freak Out the Fashion World

No, seriously—whether you're ready or not, this micro-trend is swiftly marking its territory as one of the hottest styles to try this spring and summer season. The trend we speak of is better seen than described, but if we had to try it's basically any article of clothing that slinkily ties and wraps around a bare midriff. These wraparound ties can be connected to a top, skirt, or even swimwear, which we're anticipating seeing a lot more of come summer 2020.

This trend was unsurprisingly very prevalent in the '90s (which you can see via the Prada F/W 92 runway image below) when skin-baring silhouettes were pretty much all anyone cared about. As we encroach on warmer weather, we're predicting that this micro-trend is about to make it big once again in this decade. Influencers have already started wearing it and retailers are already hopping on board. If you ask me, this is the beginning of a major trend in the making.

If you're feeling hesitant to try this one out, we don't blame you—wearing little strings tied around your bare midriff is pretty daring. However, after taking a look at all the ways It girls are already sporting the risky trend, you might be convinced. Scroll down to observe this trend on the runway, on Instagram, and shop a wide selection of our favorite items so you too can get in on the style.

On the Runway

Spotted on the runway not only this season but also way back when on the fall 1992 Prada runway, was this tied-up waist micro-trend. Considering the resurgence of the '90s (yet again) this year, the resurfacing of a trend like this doesn't feel far off at all. But let it be known that Prada did it first.
