The most controversial skirt of the 2000s is back. Fashion firms have begun to market this risky garment that was once worn by Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, among other celebrities.

 In recent months we have witnessed the return of several of the trends of the 2000s. The 'mom' jeans, the juicy Couture velvet tracksuit or the 'cropped tops' have been just some of the garments that have been put on again. in fashion two decades after hitting the red carpet and in street style.

Celebrities such as Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner or Kim Kardashian have been some of those responsible for recovering these trends that have already inspired their followers around the world. In addition, these three style prescribers have also made some very risky pieces of clothing fashionable that caused a sensation at the time.

If a couple of seasons ago the low-rise pants that left the thong in sight returned, this spring another garment with openings will be worn again: the skirt. The actress Halle Berry or the singers Britney Spears - in a pants and skirt version - and Christina Aguilera were some of the celebrities who captured all eyes with this controversial piece whose return was predicted just a month ago by Dua Lipa.

During an idyllic vacation, the "Levitating" interpreter donned a black dress from the Lebanese firm Monôt that she did not leave her followers indifferent. It was a suggestive dress with ‘cut outs’ on the abdomen and back and ‘exposed thong’, that is, it incorporated strips that simulated a thong. A design that could also be seen on the red carpet at the Met gala by Hailey Baldwin and Kendall Jenner.

This spring the ‘thong skirt’ will be one of the stars of the looks that will reign in the street. After a few months in which the tracksuit and the very comfortable knitted pieces have become the uniform of those people who have been forced to work from home, now the brands are betting on changing the 'comfy' outfits for this piece that stands out for its openings that emulate that effect of underwear and that can be combined very easily, from a basic t-shirt to a shirt or a short top.

Jacquemus, Versace and Acne Studios were some of the luxury brands that in their spring-summer 2021 collection show included skirts, of different lengths, that incorporated an opening on one side of the hip or two very thin straps that they simply surrounded the figure and functioned as a decorative element that added a suggestive touch to the style.

This incipient trend has already reached the stores of ‘low cost’ firms such as Zara and Bershka, which have put their ‘thong skirt’ proposals on sale. Inditex's flagship has opted to design a black skirt with two straps located at the height of the hipbone, while the second opts for a much more striking leather-effect design, with crossed straps in lilac.
