FROM REFINERY29: Summertime dressing sometimes means seeing how little you can get away with wearing. And there’s nothing skimpier than lingerie.

BODYSUITS
Let sleek bodysuits with funky patterns or sheer fabrics creep out from (2) under looser fitting layers or revealing tank tops. Or, simply (3) pair with skirts or shorts for a look that’ll always stay tucked in.
BRALETTES

Celebrities have been taking part in this trend for the last few months. However, they seem to be the only ones who can get away with rocking leotards without pants.
