Ways to Wear Sheer Without Feeling Overexposed

Transparency is the new in and it can be difficult to not wear sheer this spring and summer. Don’t let the famous sheer-dress-and-underwear look hold you back from portraying your airy, fun, and chic side. There are various sheer styles and see through top you can try without feeling overexposed.

1. Layer for workplace

There is nothing better than layering a see through top over a buttoned-up oxford to make it work-appropriate. You get to remain conservative while making a fashion statement. You need to make sure that the sheer piece you choose is loose enough to not awkwardly bunch or cause underneath wrinkling.

2. Add texture to monochromes

Sheer clothing can help you blend all the pieces of your clothing beautifully. This is possible when you wear different shades of the same color from head to toe. It helps the elements blend together to make any sheerness less noticeable.

3. Embellishments can reduce nakedness

Embellishments are visually appealing and grab greater attention. This tricks the eye and provides an illusion of more coverage than there really is.

4. Wear crop tops under sheer

Avoid a fashion disaster and wear your crop tops under a see through top. You can also use a little sheer lace or mesh if you want to bare your belly, but not completely.

5. Sheer fabric to wear menswear

Ever wanted to wear menswear, but still look utterly and hopelessly feminine? You can use sheer fabrics over menswear-inspired silhouettes. Cigarette trousers and tights pair perfectly well with a sheer coverall. You can wear a pencil skirt if you want something uber sexy.

6. Go modern with retro

You can make anything retro feel totally modern when you pair it with light sheer accents. Sheer fabrics are great for adding visual interest and texture to conservative shapes, like large tops.

7. Pair with basic black pants

A simple way to make heads turn at the workplace, while being conservative, is to pair crisp button downs and a simple pair of heels with an airy sheer top.

8. Use printed sheer

Sheer fabrics can become less transparent when they have prints. Find something with busy prints if you want it harder to see through. This way you don’t have to worry about what’s underneath. You can also hide what’s underneath by choosing bright shocking sheer colors. Generally, colored tops tend to catch most of the attention. People won’t notice your bra so much. Make sure you choose a dark hue that is not so transparent.

9. Sheer socks for wild pumps

Make your simple pair of pumps look appealing with a pair of sheer socks. Make sure you choose closed-toe shoes. You don’t want any unflattering toe seams poking out to destroy your look.

10. Sheer patches on your grunge denims

Still got that 90s ripped denims? Use sheer patches to fill those holes. You can also just buy the look premade. If the denims are especially tight, you can wear a hot colored sheer lace tight and have the jeans layer over it.
