venusFlection: POSH Powell On Dresses On Panties Off

Issue: See through dresses (and quite frankly all articles of see through clothing)

Verdict: Love it.

Exposition: At first glance I love the look. Rihanna has the body, image, and taste to pull off the outfit. The problem I believe most people have with it is that we are used to dresses covering up more than they are showing off (unless your Ice-T's wife Coco).  Also, this dress eludes to the absence of both bra and panties, which is a definite no-no in our society, a a definite no-no for me personally.

     My concern is that people will wear this dress and others like it without keeping in mind their body type Can someone with more meat on their bones rock this look? Of course they the can. Khloe Kardashian, who is thicker than Rihanna, also wore a dress with see through elements. The netting went down along the side of the dress, which suited her body type and physique well. However, this look is not for everyone. Swag (which consists of confidence, style, demeanor, and reputation according to urbandictionary.com) should also be considered before debuting this look. No to Celie, yes to Shug Avery.
     A lot of people are severely lacking in the styling department. You can not rock your newest pumps with this outfit just because you paid $150 for them at Steve Madden, and would you really need to wear bracelets on both wrists, pedulous earring, and a chain necklace? No bueno. Furthermore, something that hugs your booty and your chest doesn't necessarily look good, especially if you have plenty of one or the other, or both. Rihanna's dress, or any other see through article of clothing can go from looking chic to sleazy if you're not careful.

Closing Words: I know I could rock the world in this babe, but would I? Probably not. It's a hot number but just not my style.
