Sheer played a major role in 2017.
Madonna started the sheer revolution in the 80s with her sexy dresses. And more recently, Rihanna aced the game with Adam Selman’s ‘naked’ dresses! We get why they’re so popular, the fabric has the power to add a sexy touch to any and every ensemble. However, sheer is a tricky fabric! If not done right, it can be a major fashion disaster! Read on to find out the common mistakes that we make while wearing a sheer top and how to avoid them.
1. Wearing The Wrong Bra Underneath
Ladies, this is probably one of the biggest mistakes that we make while wearing a sheer top. Layering your sheer top with a wrong inner is a major faux pas! If you’re wearing a black sheer top, you should opt for a black bra or a black bandeau underneath. If it’s a white sheer top, a white bra or a nude or neutral tube or bandeau would do just fine.

2. Not St Work
Okay, this depends on the type of job you’ve got. However, it’s wise to not go overboard with this trend, especially when you’re headed to an important meeting. Even a simple, sheer blouse with neutral innerwear could look inappropriate. However, if you really want to rock that sheer beauty to work, pair it with a tank top underneath so that it doesn’t look OTT!

3. Layer It With A Cute Bralette
Some of us like the whole transparent look and end up looking really trashy! That’s because we usually don’t pair it with the right inner or top underneath. If you’re donning a totally transparent sheer top, you should wear a pretty bralette or a lace camisole underneath. This looks elegant and super sexy. Step up your fashion game by wearing a cool printed top or a bralette underneath your sheer top and make heads turn!

4. Colour Contrast
We tend to match our sheer top with the same coloured top underneath. A sheer top of any colour looks absolutely gorgeous over a contrasting, coloured top! If you’re not afraid to go bold, try this trend out and we bet, you’ll be the star of the party!

5. The Wrong Layers
Another mistake that we usually make is that we layer our sheer tops with the wrong outfits. Pair a long or oversized, sheer top with a tight dress underneath or denims and slay the look!
