Apparently the exposed side bra wasn't enough. Ever since Genevieve Jones showed up to the 303 Gallery opening in a see-through lace sheath, we've seen an increase in translucent styles, lending itself to a more 360-view of undergarments. Tucked into shorts and skirts or layered over pants, black lace, white lace, mesh, and sheer prints have proven to be most popular, showing off tube bras or fully strapped styles. Check out a few of the shots we've pulled from around the globe.
