Lingerie has become fashionable as seen with bodysuits, corsets and lace tops styled with different outerwear bottoms.

Fashion has become bolder with the likes of Nigerian musician Tiwa Savage & local It girl Moozlie taking the stage in barely-there ensembles.  

According to this Cosmopolitan article, lingerie fashion brand Victoria Secret attempted to make lingerie fashionable in public back in 2016 but received criticism, with one Facebook user commenting: "Bring back real clothes if you want your product to be seen in public."

But fast forward to 2024, lingerie has become one of the most common fashion trends both in public and behind closed doors.

For some, it goes beyond fashion and it is a form of body positivity.

“If you don't want to show your nipple, then throw on a matching casual bralette underneath the slip but for goodness sake quit shaming women and being so judgmental!" comments a reader from the publication.
