Elevated layering and design elements have transformed this trend into something sophisticated and we’re here for it. Here are seven no fuss ways to style see-through clothing and owning it.
The contrast between glossy satin and matte ruched fabric creates a dichotomy that we never knew we needed to have in our closet. With most of the work already done, a simple white or black lingerie co-ord will do the trick. Don’t forget to finish the look off with your go-to handbag and a pair of sleek pumps.
Channel the 1950s and grab some attention by showing off the gams. Nothing says chic like an all-black ensemble. To mix things up, try a leather jacket instead of tweed to spice up the look.
Prints are the easiest way to disguise a sheer number. This Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini jumpsuit is perfect for those looking for something comfy yet retro-chic. Add a pair of sandals, funky sunglasses and an oddly-shaped bag to complete the look.
The little black dress is a classic and it can’t be beat but a little black corset is a welcomed second. The lace corset brings just the right amount of attention to one’s midriff, making it perfect for the fanciest of events. Throw in an extravagant choker and a timeless handbag, and voilá.
Life is a fashion show, even when running errands or hitting the gym. A raincoat comes in handy, especially with Singapore’s erratic weather. This grey Loewe coat goes perfectly with a bright pair of sweats while lending some high-fashion elements with its transparent panelling and sleeves.
Tulle’s inherent softness adds the perfect amount of femininity to balance the masculine energy given off by the boxy blazer trend. Accompanied by a pair of neutral-coloured flared pants and futuristic eyewear, you are ready to star in a fashion-forward spy movie.
Sheer fashion is undoubtedly sexy but there’s no need to bare it all to achieve it. Work your décolletage and arms in this graphic-printed mesh top by Marine Serre and slip into a light pink satin dress for an effortless look. Finally, mix in some Y2K-centric accessories such as a bejewelled bag and strappy heels.
