20 Trendy, “Sexy” Items to Wear Outside This Fall

Although winter in the near future is inevitable, people seem to be unwilling to shake the trend that took over during summer 2021. In a word, that trend is “sexy.” Yes, cutout, sheer, strappy, formfitting, and low-rise are all buzzwords to describe the 2021 aesthetic. Understandably, this is far easier to achieve in the summer when it makes much more sense to wear a small amount of clothing. But although the temperatures are cooling, the desire to keep wearing skin-baring items is not.
