When most people think of sheer fabrics, we don’t necessarily imagine something classy but likely more risque…right?!  This spring however, designers are layering their sheer pieces in unique ways that allow all age groups, body types, and styles to embody the trend and look chic while doing so!

In crisp whites and neutrals (also a trend for the spring!) – as well as a variety of other colors, of course – the beauty of this trend is that you can make an effortlessly sexy-chic and appropriate look by layering long, flowy skirts, pants over short opaque bottoms, or sheer lace tops over a solid camisole.  To express the sheer look to the streets, opt for transparent layers over body concealing opaques – don’t forget to look for garments that add weight and texture so you stray away from anything risque! As far as accessorizing, I wouldn’t go overboard; instead, I would stick with the whole minimal feel of the sheer trend by including long necklaces and earrings – perhaps with feathers and/or charms – and a few bangles and interesting rings.Think modern boho-chic here, ladies!
