Being seen is taking on an entirely different meaning throughout fashion weeks across the globe. From New York Fashion Week to Milan Fashion Week, and from models to actors, freeing themselves has been the theme. But how far is too far? Can you wear a sheer top without losing a timeless look? How to stay classic and still take part in the sheer madness of this trend?
How sheer of a garment you wear, is a personal preference. But there are many classy ways to wear the sheer trend, without losing the essence of your personal style. While TRANSPARENCY strutted down the runway in Milan Fashion Week, Actor Emma Watson opted to keep it classy with a light blue dress that had a hint of transparent appeal, designed by PRADA as reported by IN Style and images from Getty. While other models chose to flaunt their sexuality and that beauty has no age, as Naomi Campbell did walking for Dolce & Gabbana, giving attendees a fun glimpse into D&G Fall 24/25 Collections.
Yet, we were taken back by Olivia Wilde decision to go sheer to the bone, braless, as she entered the YSL Fall Womenswear Show. Ms. Wilde certainly glowed, but as a mom and in her 40's, was her look the most classic and tasteful? Why not pair a black bralette underneath? We love Cosabella Brand Never Say Never Bralette that comes in nearly a dozen colors! Imagine how classy and timeless, yet giving people a hint of what is underneath in a sheer top with a bralette underneath! Complete your entire undergarment look with 3 different styles of lacy panties and feel confident in doing so. Cosabella has been completing women's lingerie looks since 1983!
While the trend to wear transparent items continues to grow with the Spring and Summer '24 warmer weather approaching, picking which tulle skirt, mesh top or sheer dress you decide to wear, can be timeless in nature. Icy Blue tops are a delight paired with denim and grey or black trousers alike. Proenza Schouler and Stella McCartney lead the runway with this hue and offer several amazing items for Spring 2024. Whether you opt for an icy blue sheer blouse from a high end luxury designer, or grab a sheer button down from Nordstrom Rack, pairing with a tank top or bralette underneath, along with completing the look head to toe is imperative to anyone wearing sheer madness.
If you are concerned with baring too much of your soul but want to tap this trend, try sheer ballet flats! Not only is the ballet flat here to stay, now sheer options are flooding the store racks and online shelves. ALAIA Mesh shoes are dominating the shopping carts, worldwide. EVERLANE black sheer ballet flats are under $150 and great for pairing with your Spring & Summer '24 Trends. Regardless of the 50 ++ brands offering bare ballet flats this season, you won't go wrong doing so and grabbing a new pair in a mesh fabrication is a great option for introducing yourself to the sheerness approaching us all this season.
