For many seasons the classic silk, flow-y blouse has been a found in many women's closets. It's a favourite of mine for its easy wearability, flow-y fabric, and its ability to make any outfit seem put-together. These blouses are taking a new turn with thinner, more sheer materials.
Maxi skirts are also getting a makeover with the long skirt showing up in sheer silk and chiffon. The modest cut of the blouse and the maxi skirt make this sexy trend perfectly appropriate for lunch with girlfriends or a hot date. The transparency of the fabric lets you show off those legs and waist without feeling overexposed.
Ways to wear Sheer:
- Pair a silk blouse or button-up tank over a solid dress. Mixing two textures together gives interest and the a breezy shirt gives a structured dress playfulness.
- An oversized chiffon tunic in a neutral color pairs nicely with brightly coloured camisoles or bandeaus showing underneath. Wear a long button up over an equally bright bandage skirt for a fun work ensemble.
- Wear a sheer maxi skirt out on a date with your favourite patterned tank and bold accessories. Comfortably chic, this outfit is classy and shows off just enough while leaving much to the imagination.
With the hot weather coming our way I suggest this perfect breezy and airy fabric to show just the right amount of skin. Try out this trend and show a little sheer!
