Stefanie Giesinger: The model is now relying on this provocative trend comeback - and she is not the only one...

Stefanie Giesinger in a visible thong - a trend that we want to wear now?

For the past few years, it has been announced time and time again that this very styling trick from 2001 is coming back. A string, which is only held together by thin ribbons, is pulled over the waistband. Stefanie Giesinger recently wore a black G-string with wide trousers. Dua Lipa paired it with sweatpants. And Hailey Bieber attended the 2019 Met Gala in a "thong dress" designed by Alexander Wang.

This look is the look of the decade because the '00s are dominating fashion. Eighteen- to thirty-year-old women and It-Girls are now wearing navel tops with spaghetti straps, hipsters with waist chains, technical sports shoes, butterfly prints and roomy leather jackets that hide the body. Exposed G-strings are the new pinnacle of the movement.

Is that fashion you can go out in?

You could say the thong trend is good for anyone who has nothing to wear. A string tanga (today it is more sonorous called a “thong”) can certainly still be found somewhere in the lingerie drawer. Then simply pull the straps up to the stop and the eye-catching outfit is ready. So, in a nod to the style of Christina Aguilera and Paris Hilton during the turn of the millennium, Stefanie Giesinger's look is exactly what young women want again today.

Possibly because you encounter exactly this 00s style in different areas of aesthetic life. Superstars like Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande or Olivia Rodrigo wear Y2K, Balenciaga makes cargo pants and Gucci fishnet tights. And as a matter of course you wear chunky gold chains and jackets with faux fur trimmings. The visible G-string goes perfectly with this, because it provides the individuality that we often long for. At the same time, it is about finally dissolving outdated categorizations when it comes to sex.

G-string or seamless hipsters: the matter of comfort

The only question is: will comfort be sacrificed for the sake of ridiculousness? Millennials (the youngest are now 24, the oldest 41) have shown a preference for less skimpy underwear over the past decade. The "granny panties" have been revived and the huge success of Kim Kardashian's shapewear line shows that the global mass market is striving for comfortable underwear. And while Rihanna's Savage x Fenty collection offers a wide range of G-strings, the best-selling category consists largely of playful Brazilian briefs and romantic balconette bras.

What counts in the end: wear what you want!

Even if the comments under Stefanie Giesinger's Instagram photo with a G-string outfit sound mainly benevolent, she published an ecstatic message in her story . Why are people bothered by seeing two underwear bands that draw focus to the waist? Is that provocative? Absolutely not. Stefanie Giesinger's body – Stefanie's rules. How the style is seen, whether you like it or not, is a matter of taste. And a woman showing skin is not an invitation to propagate unsolicited opinion or to sexualize women.

The style might be extravagant. But for some, these are also bright colors or floral prints. Luckily we can decide for ourselves what we wear and how high we pull our panties.
