English Version | The Pleasure Issue: In Vogue Trends

Boudoir, but make it 2023

It is something we associated, until recently, with romance, self-care, fantasy and the silence of four walls. It was there, in the comfort of the home, that the best versions of the boudoir style - widely associated with the divas of Hollywood's golden age - were paraded, be it in wonderful silk robes or in sinful satin dresses that served to... sleep. Until designers realized that this trend looked as good on the street as it did at home, and decided to create stunning, powerful versions of the garments we have become accustomed to wearing to spread terror and increase the tension of those who live with us. Mission accomplished.

How low is too low?

Until now, the revival of the 2000s seemed harmless. First it was cargo pants, then going out tops, then scrunchies, then Ugg. So far, so good. We didn't tremble, not even when we were confronted with the avalanche of tube tops that appeared in the stores, piled up in the middle of dozens of bandeau dresses. But then came the most dreaded of all Y2K trends: the low waist, which allows such incredible things as crossing the line of decency and showing (much) more of the intimate area than we are supposed to if we can't resist some ultra-low waisted pants - it happened too many times the first time, we want to believe that now we are more cautious and know how to do things. We'll see...

Legs for days

The motto is one: “cut.” Cut a lot, by the way. The shorts are short, very short, so short that they become hot pants, that piece whose name screams sensuality and sophistication. In the summer of 2023 they will be worn in the city as much as on the beach or in the countryside, coordinated with leather coats, trench coats, or sequined shirts, proof that they are no longer a mere accessory and are now a protagonist in the summer closet. It is one of the most luxurious ways to show off your legs, and confirms what was already suspected about the new female erogenous zone, which deserves to be celebrated until the sun goes down - with the best after sun on the market, some dizzying heels, and a glass of aperol spritz.
