What To Wear Under A Sheer Top?
Before we get into styling tips or ideas on how to wear sheer tops, let’s answer the first question most of us have – what do we wear under a sheer top or a lace dress? I’m sure this bothers you as well, and that’s (probably) why you have been avoiding wearing it. It all starts with how much sheer are you willing to go. But, remember, you need to wear decent (read: good) lingerie inside. Choose neutral colors like black or nudes, or the color of the top. If you want to make it look like an outline, wear a camisole or pretty-looking waist-length lingerie underneath. Bandeau bras and bralettes are other interesting choices. So, get to know your comfort zone, and dress accordingly.
Best Sheer Top Outfit Ideas
1. Kylie Jenner Mesh Top
Nobody does the sheer illusion as good as the Kardashian clan. And, the youngest of them has been giving us high fashion goals for quite some time now. So, here’s a look you can easily replicate. Wear a bandeau, a strapless bra, or a camisole with it, and pair it with a skinny pair of jeans.
2. Kendall Jenner Sheer Dress
We cannot talk about one sister and not mention the other, considering the gigantic style icon she is, practically setting the runways on fire. If you have a dress in mind, go right ahead and take the lead from our very own Kendall.
3. Floral Long Sleeves Sheer Top
For the love of florals, and now sheer, let’s bring them both together. Choose a black bra to make the floral design stand out, and go for a pair of leggings or trousers in black. Choose shiny leather ballerinas or boots for good measure.
4. Long Side Slit T-Shirt Tops
If a crazy idea like ‘wearing sheer in winter’ has crossed your mind, let’s address that too, but while at it, tread cautiously. Pick one of these long T-shirt tops that come with a side slit and pair it with fleece leggings and boots. Throw on an oversized coat while you are outdoors, and shed it when you are not – you’ve got yourself a deal.
5. Off-Shoulder Style Sheer Dress
An off-shoulder style sheer dress that doubles up as a bikini cover-up and a party dress – whichever pleases you. Go with the color of the dress for the inners or go completely contrast. MAJOR WOW!
6. Polka Dots Sheer Blouse
If you think sheer is too out there for your taste and it’s something you can never sport, here’s something that might change your mind. Wear a regular tank top and finish it with a shirt like this – it’s stylish and gives you coverage without taking away the sheer element. Polka dots add definition like nothing ever does.
7. Mesh Bodysuit
Bodysuits have arrived and taken over the clothing lines, and I’m not surprised because they fit you like a glove. Mesh-style bodysuits are entirely in fashion and look great when paired with a pencil skirt, leather pants, or skinny jeans.
8. White Lace Top And Jeans
I know most plus-size women shy away from wearing something that is see-through or relatively shows off more skin than their regular dresses. But, do not miss out on this style because of some old-school notions. If you do not want to go completely sheer, try the ones that come in lace fabric.
9. Camo Style Sheer Stop
For the love of camo prints, and how we can never get enough of these, we are just grateful and teary-eyed that someone was thoughtful enough to make this for us.
10. Pink Collar Style Sheer Top
Everything looks great in pink, so if that’s your favorite color, go for it. Also, the collar-style tops are translucent and not completely sheer, so if that makes you more comfortable, look no further.
11. Long Sheer Dress
Long sheer dresses have reached the rack from the runways almost immediately. They are effortless, and chic, and lift your style in no time. Go with a shorter satin lining dress as the inner to amp up the look.
12. Frosted Sheer Top
The frosted style sheer top is another hot favorite in this segment. It looks great for a lunch date or dinner – and you can’t go wrong with this. Tuck it in your jeans, and finish the look with ankle-length boots, big loops, and a body bag.
13. Crop Top Style Sheer Top
And, of course, no variant is complete without a crop top style because that’s how much we love them, don’t we?
14. Sheer Top With Blazer
Isn’t it an incredible idea? A blazer will not only give you coverage but will also give you a more formal look. You can wear it with a pencil skirt or ankle length trousers – both of which are sartorially approved.
15. Sheer Top With Suspenders
If we want to find excuses, we will always have one, but if we look for ways to combat the issues, we will have them too. And that’s why fashion seems to be evolving with every passing day. Wear a sheer top with suspenders and complete the look with white converse shoes. Are sheer tops appropriate? While trying to pull off a sheer top can be daunting, this article tells you how to wear sheer tops in a sophisticated and fashionable way. Sheer tops are appropriate if carried the right way. Sheer tops are ideal for casual events. If you are wearing a sheer top to a formal event, wear a top underneath so it is not revealing. Although extreme see-through ones may not be good for formal settings. Banner Image Credits: Instagram
