Sales of ‘underboob’ baring pin tops surge by 78%

Sales of barely-there pin-tops that have become a popular way for A-listers to flash some some flesh have surged in the last two weeks as the thread-bare look is set to become one of the biggest trends for the final weeks of summer. 

Also known as a ‘curtain reveal top’, the pin top  looks like a small cropped cardigan with a string tie or safety pin keeping it together.

Worn over the shoulders, and with nothing underneath, the celeb-approved look barely covers the wearer’s modesty.  

Described as being ‘being universally adopted by the It-girls’ by Vogue, the pin top been spotted on supermodels including  Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Kaia Gerber, and Hailey Bieber.

This week, actor Megan Fox was pictured in a Jacquemus cherry-red pin top, prompting searches for the item to skyrocket by 52 per cent in the 48 hours.

This week, fashion data website Lyst reported searches for ‘front tie top’, ‘lace up top’ and ‘pin top’ has searched 78 per cent in the last fortnight.  

It follows the ‘midriff-flossing’ trend which became popular last summer and  saw models pose with a crisscross tie detailing their torso and waistline.

With the look dominating online, it is quickly becoming the must-have top for fashionistas, with the likes of Maya Jama, Molly-Mae Hague and Kylie Jenner embracing the trend. 

This year’s crop of Love Island contestants are jumping on the trend too, with Faye, Millie Court and Rachel Finni all donning bikini versions of the trend in the villa. 

But according to celebrity stylist Rochelle White, the trend isn’t here to stay.

Speaking exclusively to FEMAIL, she said: ‘I have been noticing this trend a lot of celebrities and reality TV stars.

‘I think this is a trend and a moment that will pass and might not be one to stay.

‘The style of this usually is a scarf wrapped around the top half of the body to create the look, but with some tops this is the actual style.

‘I think this look is all about adding the extra lift to support and gives a dramatic look to any outfit or swimwear.’
