The Spring/Summer 2023 fashion shows were clear: we have had enough of covering our bodies under layers and layers of clothing. We want to show some skin, and we want to show it in the most sensual way possible.
Tops, dresses, but also pants and skirts: every inch of our body can be shown off in an elegant and chic way, following a few style rules. The result of the release of style after a too long confinement? A body-positive statement? Many reasons have been put forward to justify the success of this new trend. But if the “why” seems far from elucidated, the “how” deserves your step-by-step instructions.
Here you will find the complete guide to adopt this trend immediately.
Which fashion shows have we spotted transparencies in?
At the Spring-Summer 2023 Paris Fashion Shows, see-through looks accounted for more than 26% of the silhouettes in comparison to the previous season. Yet we saw transparencies on all the catwalks: at Acne, Alaia or Coperni, for example, 90s silhouettes were embellished with sheer fabrics and pastel shades. Now that summer is approaching, we are ready to jump on this trend and recreate the catwalk look in everyday life.
Tips for wearing sheer clothing in style
- Choose your underwear carefully. If you’re comfortable with revealing your breasts or showing off the nipples, go for it! If not, you can look for a slightly different range of underwear to get a change from the classic bra: a bralette, a bikini top…
- Looking for inspiration for an evening look? The pairing of transparencies and paillettes works like a charm!
- Experiment with a mix of different fabrics: tulle, chiffon, organza… It’s the perfect moment to pull out those fabrics that you don’t normally wear in your everyday life;
- Don’t dive headfirst into the see-through trend if you don’t yet feel confident enough showing off your body. A shy or blushing attitude can ruin your whole look.
- Banish the idea that transparencies are reserved for night looks. Have you tried wearing a sheer long-sleeved top under a t-shirt with your favourite jeans?
- And, of course, avoid any other stale cliché like “it’s just for young people”. Anyone can do it, it’s just a question of wanting to. We’ll tell you how to do, just keep reading…
How to wear sheer clothing at any age
As we have just told you, the see-through trend is not restricted to a specific age range. Any woman can bring out her most sensual and feminine side by revealing part of her body with transparent fabrics that enhance her best attributes. You just have to take into account a few small details to look ideal no matter what age your passport states.
A see-through look to wear in your 30s
At this point in your life you have probably reached a level of self-esteem that allows you to show your body without too much modesty. It’s the right time to dare to wear sheer tops with nothing underneath, or sheer dresses with a nice lingerie set. Your choice!
For this look, our tip for you is to pair the sheer with some leather-effect shorts to give the outfit some rocker vibes. Complete the look with a clutch and some gold ballerinas and enjoy your favourite band or an outing with friends!
Adapt sheer clothing and shine in your 40s
The look we propose to our 40-year-old women can be perfect for any occasion: from the office to a special dinner.
Choose a sheer blouse with a mini print in a dark shade and pair it with tailored trousers to give the outfit a classic flair. Complete the look with loafers for the day, or step up to a pair of heels for a night out.
The perfect way to wear a sheer garment in your 50s
50s are the new 40s, everyone knows that. And that means continuing to explore and manifest our femininity without any reserve.
If you’re in this group, you’re sure to love this look with an elegant sheer blouse paired with a simple black skirt. Simply finish the look with heels and a trench coat for a timelessly chic look.
See-through in your 60s? Yes!
We never tire of repeating it: style knows no age. That’s why this trend is also for you, who have already turned sixty. We simply suggest that you show a different part of your body that you feel more comfortable with, for example, the calves and ankles.
We suggest a midi skirt with the final part made of a sheer fabric: the final effect will be feminine and sensual but not vulgar. Wear it with a low heel and a bag in a vibrant colour to draw attention. Success guaranteed!
