One of the Spring/Summer season’s hottest – and most eye-catching – trends, sheer clothing quickly jumped from the fashion runways to the outfit of the day on the streets. From completely translucent to semi-sheer, these pieces are great for layering and creating a wide variety of looks, from sexy to sophisticated to sporty.

Sunny sheer

The easiest way to pull off a completely translucent look is poolside or seaside – whether it’s a matching set of shorts and top, pants and shirt, or a simple sheer dress, just pop it over your bikini or swimsuit, add a hat or your favorite sunglasses, grab your beach bag, and you’re ready for a gorgeous sunset selfie.

Office-appropriate transparency

Dress-code permitting, pair a semi-sheer top under your blazer and wide-leg pants for some transparent elegance, while keeping things professional. Besides being a great layering piece, this look is perfect for air-conditioned offices, where the blazer doesn’t even come off. If the blazer will be coming off, layer a skin-colored tank top or bodysuit under the sheer top. Now you’ve got two office looks to try on for style.

Skirting sheerness

Long, flowing, sheer skirts are the perfect breezy piece for Spring/Summer and while they can be worn with a pair of high-waist lycra or crochet shorts underneath and a crop top for a night out on the town, they can also be styled with a crisp button-down shirt for a bit more coverage. Add a pair of ballet flats or moccasins, a statement necklace, a cute tiny bag and…voilá, sheer perfection!

See-through outerwear

If you’re looking for a more conservative way to pull off the sheer clothing look, a translucent jacket or kimono will keep you covered and looking stylish as you pair it with multiple and interesting looks all season long. Ready to embrace transparency on top?

Sporty sheer

Going for a super casual sheer look? Start with a matching sports bra and shorts or a one-piece leotard in a bold color, add a sheer dress and complete the look with a cool pair of sneakers and a sporty pouch or tote bag. Who knew translucent and sporty could look so good together…
