We Already Know This "Naked" Trend Will Be Huge in 2022

As part of what we're calling "the great shrinkage," designers have been debuting looks that are getting skimpier and skimpier. The S/S 22 runways were no exception, where "floss" fashion was in full focus stringy dresses and tops with barely there floss-like straps. Yep, things are about to get even more naked come next year.

The "floss” trend has been gaining more and more traction off the runways as well recently, with brands like Nensi Dojaka really putting the micro-trend on the map with their signature tiny strap dresses. Their pieces have carved themselves out as one of the cult buys among fashion insiders in 2021.

It looks like the micro-trend has a long life beyond this season, with designers including Balmain and Sid Neigum embracing the trend. Whether you opt for a micro mini or a slip skirt with G-string details, there are a range of silhouettes to match your comfort level. Ahead, shop the "floss” fashion trend with the coolest pieces on the market now.

On the Spring/Summer 2022 Runway

Barely there straps are the detail that's suddenly all over the runways, and I simply can't get enough of the chic designs. If there was ever a sign that fashion people want us to return to a going-out aesthetic, this is it.
