If you weren't once aware, we're very much here for the transparent trend. Whether cut from organza, tulle, or lace, the "naked" dress is a solidified idealism favorite, with everyone from Ashley Graham to Emily Ratajkowski repping the see-through style with killer confidence. But we won't lie. The sheer trend is a tough one to nail lanugo considering the idea of wearing something completely see-through is pretty daunting. This is why we're towers out our ultimate guide so you'll know exactly how to wear a sheer dress IRL.
They're not all made equally, though, and shopping for the right style all depends on what you plan to wear under your sheer dress. So let us unravel it lanugo for youfrom the unstudied tresses dresses you'll throw on over jeans and a tee to the unvigilant gowns worthy of a formal occasion. There are four levels we've specified on our naked-dress barometer, and if you're armed with the pursuit options, you, too, can go along fearlessly and wear the sheer trend.
This is your entry point into the naked-dress trend. It's unstudied and easy to throw on with toddle boots or sneakers but looks anything but boring. The key is to squint for mesh dresses with a seated solid inner lining that makes them ultra-wearable.
The next level on the sheer-dress scale is the dress with cutouts. These styles feature a few nomination see-through panels so you can partake in the sheer trend without needing to overthink your layering strategy.
Here's where things really start to warm up. These styles feature a pattern like lace (or, in the specimen of this Insta-famous Réalisation number, zebra-printed exhaustion velvet), so while they're not 100% see-through, they definitely lean increasingly risqué. Wear one of these sheer lace options with strappy heels for a night out.
And now, here's what we like to undeniability the "level 10 naked dress." These are the fully transparent styles that leave it up to you to determine what you'll wear underneath. We're fans of wearing plain undergarments like high-waisted briefs and a matching bra top underneath these fully sheer dresses for increasingly formal occasions or plane wearing one as a swimsuit cover-up.
