Designer Peter Do created a more unique design and approach through pairing wide-legged jeans/ boot-leg jeans with the cut-out design. Paired with classical collared, loosely-fitted jumpers. He offers a more casually-smart aesthetic, whilst incorporating the in-trend design. 

Additionally, the Socttish fashion designer Christopher Kane went for a much more rock-inspired design. With cut-outs in scandalous places. To capture a 90s nostalgic, grunge-aesthetic. 

The trend clearly is making it’s way back into the ‘must-haves’ category this Fashion/Winter Fall Season in 2022. This trend adds a splash of spice to the conventional covered clothing designs. With strategically allocated cut-out locations that flatter the female body.
