As always September during New York Fashion Week is the time when we find out what trends are in and what to have in our closets by springtime. Sheers are popular since last season, but for spring 2015 sheer has become even sheerer, literally. (Does Rihanna come to mind?)
That said; unlike Rihanna, most of us won’t take that kind of risk with our wardrobe. However, if you wear sheer garments correctly, you can look very stylish and chic, but if you go wrong well let’s just say you might be mistaken for a Vegas streetwalker and you don’t want that to happen.
Believe it or not, springtime is not that far away and very sheer clothes will be everywhere, so be prepared. Fashion Reverie picked some of the celebrities that know how to wear sheer clothes correctly. Always keeping our readers in mind, Fashion Reverie points out how to wear the transparency trend without “over exposing” yourself.
Sheer tops
Ah, some sheer tops are gorgeous, but unless you are an A cup it is difficult to keep it all in place. There are few options. You can wear only a bra or a simple camisole underneath. It is up to you how much sexy you want to shine through. If you want to look a little more conservative is to pair a sheer top with high waist bottom.
Mollie King, China Chow, and Cheryl Cole are perfect examples of how to look classy in sheer tops. Jessie J even went to meet Prince Charles in a sheer top. She looked classy and it is an outfit to remember.
Sheer skirts
Every girl looks good in a sheer skirt as long as you choose the right silhouette and style. There are many options; simple sheer, layered sheer or half sheer. It has been a few seasons that this has been one of the “to go” looks on red carpets and some celebs have mastered it. Ciara, and Alexa Chung wore totally different styles and versions, but all three look great.
Sheer dresses
During the awards season these are in demand. There is at least one sheer winner for each award ceremony or red carpet. We picked out just few that caused quite a stir. Beyoncé with her dramatic entrance at the Met Gala, Gwyneth Paltrow with the side toosh, and Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Couture, as usual.
Sheer pants
Sheer pants are definitely less dressy and give you somewhat of a more edgy look. Kim Kardashian and baby rock sheer well in pair but this laced jumpsuit was just what we needed as an example of how to nail the look.
