I don’t know about you, but after this summer I have an awful lot of sheer tops. They are beautiful and I love them, but now with the weather cooling off, I’m finding it difficult to style them in the same way that I have in the past. I was a bit puzzled by what to do, until I met this Fashionista. The key seems to be, as it often in with autumn, layering.
If you don’t have a shirt to go under that matches perfectly, don’t worry. An easy way to choose your undershirt is to look at the color family of your sheer top and choose its neutral pair. Cool colors like blues and purples pair well with grays, and warm colors pair well with browns and tans. If you have a patterned top like this Fashionista, it’s safest to wear a solid colored tank underneath. But if you happen to have a solid colored top you can pair it with a patterned undershirt to add a bit of subtle texture.
If you’re new to the trend, you’re in luck; companies are now making sheer tops that are suitable for colder climates. This blouse from NASTY GAL has sheer sleeves and a sheer back, but solid pieces that eliminate the need to layer. There are blouses that are completely sheer but have long sleeves and a complex pattern that make it easier to layer, like this one from Forever 21.
The sheer shirt is one trend from the summer that can easily be taken into the fall, and if you haven’t gotten into it yet, jump on board!
