See-Through Suits - New Spring Trend?

You better have nice under garments if you're gonna wear Bagir EcoGir's see-through suit to drum up publicity at New York Fashion Week. Photo: Richard Drew, AP

If you want to spot some wild fashion, there's no better style watching than at the Bryant Park tents during New York Fashion Week.

Sky-high heels, hair that took a blueprint to build, mismatched prints -- you'll find it all here.

But today's show attendees and 6th Avenue passersby got a gander of what could be a Fashion Week first -- a man wearing a see-through suit.

A promotion for Israeli-based manufacturer Bagir EcoGir, an eco-friendly company, sent two men to the tents -- one in a regular black suit, one showing off his tighty-whities in a clear suit made from recycled plastic bottles.

We think the black socks -- with garters -- were a particularly nice touch. Perhaps they'll take a turn on fall's runways next season? Let's hope not.

Here's a company making recycled neckties -- a little more tasteful than this revealing recycled suit.

What's the point? Why spend the money when you can walk around in your shorts and t-shirt and get the same effect.

I would hope with these see thru suits that the guy would wear colored underwear instead of the classic white, otherwise we would most likely see me of the guys bodily fuctions residue than we would ever want to see.

No need to worry about "skid marks" if only you would wash your a$$ with water after your "body functions" like most of the civilized world.

Not sure who wants to see a guy wrapped in plastic over his tighty-whities and wearing a t-shirt. I thought it was all about new style of swim suit. That'll teach me not to get too happy too fast !!

why do you think that these spammers always get to be the first ones posted on every single article in here ?? because they are from aol themselves ...think about it how many people do you think 'report' these articles they write ?? yet they still stay up there don't they ? that is because aol must be getting some sort of kickback from them to allow them to continually do it and annoy all of us to no end it is a form of advertising just like those of you might know that aol has been under a lawsuit for including these type of advertisements in any of the emails you send or receive look at the bottom of them always an ad for something they are called FOOTERS and aol knew they were not allowed to do it and have been suid for a whopping $103,000.00 bucks and also have to pay all lawyers fees involved for it
