How to style the sheer trend
It's fashion's divisive trend of the moment, but slipping into sheer doesn't have to mean baring your pants to the local high street (though it can!). A chance to indulge in delicate and beautiful fabrics, learning how to style sheer opens up a whole new way to wear lace, boho chiffon and tulle.
From clever cover-ups and luxe layering, to underwear you might just want to show off, these tricks hold the key to mastering the sheer trend...
Invest in a subtle slip
The simplicity of throwing on a great dress in the morning is one of the best parts of summer, and with so many beautiful sheer and semi-sheer options on the market right now, it’s hard not to get drawn in (and why should we resist temptation?). In day-to-day life, the most wearable way to wear the trend is with a skin-tone body or equally sheer slip underneath.
Get clever with your layering
Possibly the most popular (and accessible) way to wear the trend is also a lesson in layering. A single piece of sheer, such as a pencil skirt, is perfect as we head into autumn as it doesn’t feel too 'naked' when teamed with a longline shirt or blazer (or both together). The below skirt from The Frankie Shop also has a built-in shorter layer for extra coverage.
Put your underwear on show
Parties and holidays are the ideal time to really test out the sheer trend to its full potential. Play around with colourful underwear (in the style of this Victoria Beckham mint dress with contrasting burgundy lingerie), or opt for plain black as a safer choice. Either way, the most flattering form is high waist briefs and a triangle bralette for giving just the right amount of reveal. Don’t want to do the double? Wearing a dress or a sheer top over a pair of jeans or leather trousers will also look super cool.
