The see through trend

Sheer fabric is quite hot right now. This lightweight and transparent sheer fabric look is easy, flirty and feminine. Hence, many fashion aficionados are rocking varied styles of this trend. Sheer fabric is trending on red carpets. But you could also wear different styles and colour to casual outings.

If you want to wear this trend to work on Friday, ensure you wear sheer fabric that is less transparent. Also, if you don’t want lace sheer fabric, then opt for chiffon, voile, tulle and other silky fabrics. Depending on which part of your body you want to flaunt, you could choose sheer top, skirt, pant or dress to highlight that part. However, the key to flawlessly pull off this eye-catching and flirty trend without looking too lewd lies in styling correctly.

Tips

Properly layer: Layering sheers on top of one another can create a bold and fun statement that will surely be noticed. Also, try layering a simple but cute jacket over a sheer top to compliment the sheer fabric underneath. Wear the right underwear: Try and wear an opaque bra and panties that match your skin tone or the rest of your outfit so you don’t look too risqué.

You can also wear a camisole underneath your sheer top, or try a bandeau top if you want to show off a little more skin. Outfits with sheer panels: Sheer panels can make a basic pair of black pants or skirt a lot more stylish and fun. With a crisp button down shirt or lovely top and a simple pair of heels, you are set for that casual event.

Maintain a sense of balance: If you are wearing a sheer fabric top, try as much as possible to balance your look. For instance, if you wear a sheer top, harmonise it with a pair of high-waist trousers, jeans, shorts, pencil skirt or midi-skirt to limit the exposure. If you overdo the sheer look, you might look like a curtain.

So, be careful. Keep accessories simple: This trend is best worn when it is done in an understated and elegant way. Therefore, keep it simple with your accessories so that they convey the same vibe and aesthetic. Remember that while adding a little sexiness to your wardrobe, it is important to know that sheer fabrics are beautiful when they are slightly transparent and styled correctly.
