Naked dressing has been a thing for decades. Think Kate Moss in a transparent metallic slip at an early-‘90s fashion party Rihanna in a bedazzled mesh Adam Selman gown at the CFDA Awards. Still, the look remains a daunting one to try IRL. No matter how popular the see-through trend has become, it still feels risky to go out in public with your undergarments (if even that) entirely exposed. Navigating how to wear sheer clothes without anxiety is possible though. it’s a matter of finding that delicate balance between chic, fashion-forward elements and boudoir-inspired sensuality.
Instead of jumping in the deep end, wade into the trend by incorporating individual sheer pieces into your wardrobe rotation. Try a floaty organza blouse, which goes just as well with worn-in jeans and flats as an elegant skirt and kitten heels. Or, vary your vibe with other see-through textiles like printed or bold-colored mesh and gossamer chiffon — the former is good for a sporty ‘90s vibe, the latter a feminine, romantic aesthetic.
Sheer becomes even more wearable when you make use of strategic layering. It’s the perfect opportunity to showcase your prettiest lingerie. For a more casual look, a cropped camisole or a sports bra and briefs or bike shorts set are ideal. And wearing solid pieces over see-through ones can further open up the possibilities for creative outfit combinations. Just take a peek at the below examples for inspiration on all the ways you can do sheer like it’s NBD.
