Let's talk sheer!

Sheer looks are undeniably trending right now, with celebrities rocking them on the runway to the fashionistas roaming the city. Just look at events like Milan Fashion Week, where sheer designs stole the spotlight. Dakota Johnson looked stunning in a white sheer dress paired with an oversized leather jacket at the Gucci show. The secret to mastering the sheer trend is creating outfits with smart layering basics.

Layering Sheers

Whether aiming for a laid-back look or a striking statement, the sheer trend is all about how you style it. You can take a daring route with just a pair of undies or layer it up with pants, skirts, jackets - whatever suits your mood. The key is balance: keep your outfit simple by avoiding too many textures and patterns, and instead, choose a clean base and elevate it with sheer pieces.

For instance, flowy maxi skirts can exude boldness and charm when paired with a chic pair of undies and a tailored black blazer. If you’re looking for a more casual yet polished vibe, sheer balloon pants layered over a bodysuit are a great choice. For daytime outings, an oversized button-up denim jacket adds the perfect touch of casual yet dressy style.

Adding Skirt Dimension

Whether fitted or flowy, the perfect skirt can add just the right amount of volume to any outfit, and sheer skirts do this exceptionally well. Pairing a sheer skirt with a mini skirt underneath adds dimension with a touch of elegance, making it ideal for formal occasions. Kerry Washington showcased this beautifully, styling a sheer maxi over a Chanel two-piece at the couture show during Paris Fashion Week.

Playing with Colours & Textures

Don’t hesitate to mix textures and bold hues to make your sheer combination truly stand out. The key is to maintain balance—opt for sheer pieces with intricate embroidery or vibrant colours for a playful touch, or pair printed pants with a solid sheer overlay for a more understated vibe.

A standout example is Dakota Johnson, who dazzled in a mustard-coloured sheer skirt paired with a simple white sheer top. Sheer dresses make a striking statement when paired with a simple slip underneath - you could even go bold with colour or keep it elegant with neutrals.

Keep in mind that layering, adding dimension, and experimenting with colours are essential elements of the sheer look. Embrace the versatility of sheer fabrics and enjoy the process of crafting outfits that truly reflect your unique style. Let your imagination run wild, and don’t be afraid to make bold choices - our wardrobe will thank you. Go get that celebrity runway status!
