A sheer fashion trend that never goes out of style has been made popular again. The sheer fabrics used are usually silk, cotton or a combination of the two, with some adding lace or other decorative details for added interest. You can use these sheer fabrics as outerwear too and create a layered effect on your body. For summer evenings, you could layer long-sleeved tank tops with cropped bottoms. You could also layer long-sleeves with sheer panels and have the bottom part of the shirt covered in these panels. Silk and satin sheer shirts look particularly good on wide shoulders.
Another example of the sheer fashion trend is to wear see-through dresses which are sheer on the shoulders but see-through on the rest of the dress. This way, you can look glamorous but keep your legs and arms exposed, giving your body an elongated look. You could wear this type of top with see-through cardigans, or mix and match with other types of clothing, or skip the clothes altogether and just dress in the sheer top.
Finally, you have to mention the chiffon dress – and I’m talking about more than just the everyday kind! Chiffon is the latest in a line of sheer fabrics and is ideal for a casual day out or special events. Chiffon dresses look best with sheer cardigans, especially those with slinky patterns, and they’re also great for giving you a bit of an edge. Chiffon is ideal for skirts, especially the long lean ones, and looks especially good with chiffon crinched pants, leggings or shorts. One of the best ways to wear a chiffon dress is to pair it with a slim-fitting blouse, and for a very informal ensemble, a chiffon bolero or halter neck shirt would be perfect.
