Tops and intimate shirts "in full view" for a summer that promotes underwear as the interpreter of sensual yet comfortable outfits.

Underwear is changing its face and is no longer confined to intimate spaces. Thanks to quality fabrics and yarns, accurate designs and fine details such as lace, trimmings and transparent inserts, underwear becomes part of outfits with a high level of seduction. A "revolution" that has its origins in history, especially Italian history. Although, in fact, it was the Egyptians who cleared customs for the first forms of clothing reserved to remain concealed, it was actually later the Romans who created garments in every way similar to today's designed to protect the body, but also to keep it clean and to enhance it. Roman women in fact habitually wore tight bands under the breasts so as to contain but above all expose them. An aesthetic sense that was lost, however, in the Middle Ages, during which underwear seems to have been reserved for men, who included "brache"(underpants-trousers) in their daily look. "Gender equality" was only achieved with the Renaissance, which led to the spread not only of strictly unisex knee-length shirts and knickers, but also of garters. Originally intended for men to hold up stockings, they quickly conquered the female wardrobe, which made them a powerful weapon of seduction. Seduction found its greatest expression between 1500 and the end of the 1800s when corsets, bodices, petticoats, crinolines, underskirts, knickers and knee-length stockings allowed women to shape and transform their bodies, making them conform to the beauty standards of the time.

With the arrival of the 1970s and the appearance of female-driven television series in which women reclaimed the value of their beauty and sensuality, underwear as a form of exaltation made a comeback until it became a symbol of emancipation in the 1980s. The singer Madonna with her pointy bras and bustiers displayed as garments to be flaunted outside the bedroom paved the way and other women followed suit. With the appearance of Wonderbras in the 1990s and Victoria's Secret with its "Angels", underwear was made mainstream. It is branded, especially for men. Briefs and boxer shorts, but also shirts and tank tops, to be up to date, bore the brand name, which had to peep out firmly under the shirt or trousers.
