It-girls latest favourite craze is wearing tights with no pants But Gen Z is not so sure

The latest styling choice of supermodels to wear tights without trousers, leaving their bottoms and knickers uncovered, has created a new fashion trend, but one that is in danger of remaining in the vortex of micro-trends. It all started last September, when Bella Hadid was photographed on the streets of New York wearing just a pair of briefs, followed by Kylie Jenner, who turned up at Loewe's SS23 show with a white slips worn over black tights, and her sister Kendall, who wore thick black tights over a Bottega Veneta suit to go buy a bunch of flowers. A couple of days ago, in spite of the cold weather, Hailey Bieber also decided to adhere to this fashion, but in grunge style, with a leather jacket and total black loafers. Whenever pictures of models using underwear as trousers made the rounds on social media, many thought it was a joke and ended up mocking them, when, perhaps, Jenner and Bieber were hoping to have once again started a trend.

The look sported by Hailey Bieber, Kendall and Kylie Jenner was rejected by TikTok's Gen Z critics even before it became the next craze of the moment, but thanks to its unintentional historical references, it can be seen in a good light: it serves as proof that the freedom of expression that began to make its way in the 1960s is now finally as commonplace as a pair of socks.
