Visibility vs Tease

my fave: Jil Sander


Dries van Noten

I asked my female friends, how they would react when they see a man wearing shirt without a layer of undergarment. Many of them said it's uncool. More uncool are men with see through shirts. When I was in Bandung watching small choirs competition at Unpar 2001, I saw a choir from Central Java wearing floral green uniform with see through fabric. However melodious it sang, its appearance annoyed me a bit hahaha, considering they were also singing a "musica sacra" song.

Speaking of see through, Jil Sander presents it nicely, combining silk outer shirt with plain white shirt. The Dries van Noten version is also cool to compliment a white shirt.
