From international runways to the streets of fashion capitals, the brave fashion pioneers are loving this new trend. The exposed bra is the ultimate crop top and was embraced by design houses such as Alberta Ferretti, Dion Lee, Dolce & Gabbana and Tom Ford for their S/S 20 collections. To match every personal comfort level, the bra top can also be worn under an oversized blazer or any other layering item to minimize the bare skin exposure. For the more daring fashion lover, most bra tops come with a matching bottom item to make it a head-to-toe look. Choose your own level of comfort and get inspired by our favorite exposed bra top looks below.

Usually shorts aren’t considered to be one of the more exciting separates, but the Bermuda short is the newest game changer, and a top trend for summer/ fall transition. The wide legged, knee length high waisted short is flattering and extremely versatile- and it’s even office-approved because of its modest fit. Designers such as Alberta Ferretti, Bottega Veneta and Ryan Roche showed their own takes on this idea which ranged from a leather version to some done in denim and in colorful plaid. There is a Bermuda style for every occasion and need. See below for some of our favorite looks.

The changes can also be seen on runways. Designers like Balenciaga, Tommy Hilfiger, Iceberg and House of Holland have featured sweats in their newest spring/summer 2020 collection.
