Runway Trend: How to Wear Sheer Skirts, Blouses and Dresses

1.

Layer, layer, layer. If your sheer little number is just too in-your-face as is, throw on a blazer. Not only will this cover up your goodies, it'll also make for the perfect contrast of structured over sexy. If you're still feeling too exposed, go ahead and button your blazer up, or throw on a chunky necklace. It's an unexpected way to give your self a bit more extra coverage.

2.

Expose your undies if you dare. Tons of celebs and fashion girls let their undies show under their sheer pieces. Just make sure to wear undergarments with more coverage. If you're wearing a dress, this means you'll have to wear a full slip, not just a bra and panties (you don't want to go too extreme). If you're rocking a blouse or shirt, a bra is fine as long as it has fuller cups. For extra coverage, pair it with a high-waisted skirt or pant so you're exposing less skin.

3.

Combine your sheer pieces. Designer Ralph Lauren did this seamlessly in his Fall 2010 collection. No one says you can't wear more than one sheer piece at a time. If your dress shows too much, throw a sheer blouse on over it. It's perfectly OK to mix your sheer pieces. Try mixing complementary colors and prints to make your look even more fun.

4.

If you love your sheer dress, but don't like it with a slip, try wearing it over a bodysuit. If you don't want to spend the bucks for a bodysuit, you can get the same look with a tank top and leggings. This is the perfect option for the more modest gals. You'll feel totally covered, but will still get that fab sheer look that you want.
