The Sheer Trend: Bold, Elegant, and Everywhere
What Are We Wearing?
Sheer dressing and interpretations were everywhere during my trip to NYC for NYFW, and I am obsessed. The sexy, sheer look has taken the fashion world by storm, redefining elegance with a daring twist. Characterized by lightweight, translucent fabrics, this micro trend offers a perfect balance between boldness and subtlety. Whether it's mesh tops, organza skirts, or see-through blouses and dresses, the sheer look allows for creative layering, making it a versatile choice for both casually chic and formal settings. It's a trend that exudes sophistication and style.
Celebrities and fashion influencers have embraced sheer garments, often pairing them with bralettes, body suits, or bold accessories to enhance their outfits. While it may seem daring, the sheer trend can be surprisingly wearable when styled thoughtfully. For a more modest approach, layering sheer pieces over solid basics adds depth and texture without overexposing. I love this double-layered Vince skirt with sheer detail styled with a soft, oversized sweater and a loafer to balance out the look. It's a trend that you can confidently wear, knowing that it's both stylish and comfortable.
From runways to street style, the sheer trend is all about confidence. It's perfect for those who want to make a statement while maintaining an air of elegance. If you're looking to experiment with your wardrobe, adding a sheer piece could be the refresh you need this season! Opt for a sheer bodysuit or long-sleeve top layered with a black bralette or camisole underneath for an edge. Style with a cool pair of jeans and a top with a leather jacket for a luxurious finale.
Dresses have always included sheer elements, especially for formal occasions. Now, you can find so many incredible renditions of dresses in all lengths, offering sheer details, layers, ruffles, and collars. They always look feminine and elegant, but now, they are styled with different or unexpected shoes, making the trend more wearable and acceptable for various events and occasions. Beyond ethereal gowns and dresses, the sheer trend is also seen in business casual outfits, including blouses, midi skirts, and button-downs alike. Making it easy to incorporate into your closet all year long.
