The 'No Shirt, No Problem' Trend: Emma Chamberlain, Katy Perry, and the Fashion Statement That's Got Everyone Talking
YouTube star Emma Chamberlain and pop icon Katy Perry are flipping the fashion script and leaving their shirts at home. At Jean Paul Gaultier’s Haute Couture Fall 2024 show, Chamberlain redefined "business casual" with a shirt that was more suggestion than substance, held together by two strings. Over in Paris, Perry wowed at the Balenciaga Fall 2024 couture show with just black ripped tights and a fur coat.
Why the sudden rush to ditch the shirt? Young folks are all in on this trend, fueled by body positivity movements, social media, and a collective eye-roll at traditional fashion norms. Cognitive psychologist and fashion guru Carolyn Mair chalks it up to a push for more liberated and inclusive beauty standards. Whether you think it's cutting-edge or just plain chilly, this 'no shirt' trend is the talk of the town.
