It looks like sheer dresses are becoming the "it" style for all seasons. One might have thought that, as we step into autumn, sheer and lace would be replaced with something warmer. But style notes from the "Big Four" fashion weeks — New York City, London, Milan, and Paris — show that sheer outfits are here to stay. Even red carpet events through 2024 featured sheer as a major trend.
Just last night, supermodel Kendall Jenner, who has been walking the runway at Paris Fashion Week, stepped out in a sheer, nude, body-hugging Alexander McQueen gown.
The celebrities and guests in the front row at Saint Laurent’s Spring 2025 ready-to-wear show showed how to pull off the sheer look in autumn.
Actor Dakota Johnson gave a masterclass in how to make a sheer dress work for autumn fashion. At Milan Fashion Week, she wore a dress from Gucci's Resort 2025 collection — a sheer, empire-waist dress with a white bodice top and high-waisted briefs. But here's how she styled it for autumn: she paired the dainty dress with an oversized black leather blazer draped over her shoulders.
We agree that wearing a sheer outfit isn’t something most of us dare to wear, but with some styling hacks, why not? But get the art of layering right and you are all set to rock a sheer outfit. The reveal and conceal effects due the layers, won't make you feel way out of your comfort zone. For instance, layer your sheer skirts over a bodysuit, or pair a sheer blouse with a cropped blazer and wear it with a skirt or trousers.
The key is to have fun and feel comfortable in whatever works for you.
