8 Hints About What the Future of Playboy Looks Like

While the world largely associates Playboy magazine with pictures of naked women, all that's about to change. The publication recently announced that, as part of an overall redesign and an effort to give circulation a boost, nude photos will no longer be published — but that provocative poses are here to stay.

"That battle has been fought and won," the company's chief executive, Scott Flanders, told The New York Times. "You're now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it's just passé at this juncture."

He does have a point: even scrolling through Instagram, you're bound to see a ton of suggestive snaps (although you'll never see any nipples). Which brings us to the next issue of what the new — and improved? — Playboy will look like. Take a peek at some fully clothed photos from their Instagram feed for an educated guess as we wait until March, when the first redesigned issue will be released.

01

Beauties From Around the World

In this completely tame Instagram snap, Playboy directed readers to view "30 bodacious Brazilian bods" over on its site.

Playboy also wants you to know which Russian models are the best ones to follow on Instagram.

02

Playmates

We assume there will still be Playmates, but now they'll be rocking curve-hugging dresses and revealing shirts rather than their birthday suits.

03

Cute Lingerie

We're pretty sure we can all agree garters are sexy.

04
05

New Talent

Playboy introduced us to model, singer, and songwriter Niykee Heaton on its feed.

06

Industry News

Rick Ross got engaged to the "bootyful" Lira Mercer, so clearly the publication had to share the news.

07

Kylie Jenner

Want to see Kylie's bikini body? You got it — Playboy regrams the star all the time.

08

Playboy Bunnies

We doubt this iconic costume is going anywhere any time soon.
