Lace and Sheer – How to Pull Them Off Elegantly

The whole lace and sheer look with one’s underwear on display is best reserved for Hollywood’s fashion bandwagon.

But the good news is that lace and sheer are definitely in and making them part of your everyday style this season is easy! Rest assured with our tips, you can pull off the season’s hottest fabrics with elegance, class and grace without worrying about looking too overexposed in 6 easy ways.

1. Characterize Correctly

While lace is classic and vintage, sheer is contemporary and bold; so when you pull off these fabrics, make sure you stick to its signature style. If you’d like to experiment with lace, a dress will put you in a no risk zone. And if you’d rather go sheer, pick out a fancy blouse and wear it over a pair of body hugging trousers or jeans.

2. Blend Colours to Highlight Texture

If you want to draw attention to the texture or design of your fabric and not your skin, wearing the same colour from head to toe works best. Pair your lacy top with a camisole and bottoms of the same colour to highlight the intricately crafted lace on your top.

3. Opt for Panels

You need not be exposed from head to toe while wearing lace or sheer. A subtle show of skin with panels of lace or sheer on your outfit is also statement-worthy. A dress with a lacy neckline or a pant with sheer panels will do the trick.

4. Show What’s Underneath

One of the hottest yet classiest ways of wearing sheer without being exposed at all is highlighting what’s beneath the sheer fabric. All you need to do is wear a printed t-shirt or a shirt underneath your sheer blouse and you’ll be good to go. Or you could also wear a cropped top underneath a sheer or lacy blouse and showcase two of the season’s hottest trends.

5. Highlight Your Assets

Proud of your flat midriff? Love your sexy long legs? Fancy showing off your well-toned arms? Playfully expose those areas by layering them with lace or sheer fabrics. Wearing a pair of stockings or sheer leggings is also a great way to keep up with these trendy fabrics and show off your toned assets.

6. Keep it Ethnic

How can you mix traditional outfits with modern styles? Opt for a sheer or lacy saree blouse and work the fashion magic with these elegant fabrics.

The most important thing to remember about lace and sheer clothing is that it works best when balanced with solid fabrics. Lace on lace, sheer on sheer, lace on sheer or sheer on lace is simply a no-no. You could style your lace and sheer outfits like our fashionistas do.
