The topic is that overly transparent clothes have officially exploded this season. But honestly, while I admire those styles that flaunt the body on social media, I also get tense thinking that everyone will be looking at me if I try to wear them. Do you think this is related to body confidence, or are we afraid of societal pressure? Should we try it, wear it, or should we stay away from it altogether?

6I’ve seen this transparent trend a lot on social media too. Last year, I gathered my courage at an event and wore a slightly transparent blouse. At first, it felt like everyone was staring at me, but then I realized that actually no one was even noticing. Give it a try; it might not be as exaggerated as you think.
I don’t think it has anything to do with showing off the body; people here pay extra attention. We went on vacation to Dubai with some Turkish friends, and it was so relaxed there about such things. But here, it feels like there would be gossip if you wore it. Have you ever tried wearing it?
Let me put it this way, a person should first feel comfortable within themselves. No one is forcing you to dress like this, so why stress yourself out trying to impress others? We talk about society, but a person should be able to say, ‘I can do this if I want to.’ Instead of searching for courage in others, take a moment to ask yourself: Do you really want this, or do you feel like ‘this is how it should be’?
Actually, there’s something related to social perceptions behind this. Transparent clothing, especially for women, can be perceived as ‘showing off the body’ because culturally, the female body is more subject to judgment. But this style of dressing isn’t about body confidence; it’s more about how a person wants to be perceived. If you feel pressured here, it might be entirely due to external factors. If you’re confused about this, you might try starting with smaller pieces in less visible places.
I noticed when reading the comments that I actually tried it once, but with a very simple piece. I mean, I didn’t attract too much attention, but still, there wasn’t that comfort. I thought maybe it was because of my lack of confidence in my body. It seems logical to start small and get used to it, what do you think?
I’m thinking, who determined the concept of ‘showing the body’? Maybe in 10 years, this will be considered normal. For example, wearing a bikini on the beach is normal, but transparency is discussed more on the street. Here, the environment is very influential, but on the other hand, instead of criticizing those who want to wear, it’s better to leave them alone. Still, if you feel pressure, it might be easier for you to change your opinions before your environment does.
