Warin says that searches for cut-out and transparent looks surged by 40 and 53 per cent respectively during Autumn/winter, and 77 per cent of designers included transparent looks for spring/summer 2023. Skin-baring pieces cropped up in the menswear space, too – revealing fashion was up 504 per cent for spring/summer 2023 compared to spring/summer 2022.
