Sheer Genius: How to Style Tricky Transparencies
Cut from wisps of chiffon and see-through organza, this season’s seductive reveal-and-conceal designs were made from a plethora of sheer fabrics. When it comes to tackling transparencies, styling is key—opt for one sheer design in your ensemble, mixing it with opaque anchor pieces so you don’t feel too exposed. Try slipping a gauzy blazer or a diaphanous sheer blouse on over a silky camisole or bralette, or wear a translucent column dress over a white tee and jeans for a cool-girl twist. Our favorite sheer new-season essential? The sheer bodysuit—it’s a sultry underpinning to slinky slip dresses, strapless jumpsuits, and more.
