Sheer?? Sure!!

Greetings Gentle Readers,

It's time for our next "How To..." installment. Today we're talking about sheer.... Sexy right? Yes, if don't correctly. Which, is precisely the purpose of this "How To..." Pictured, we have two looks that we pulled for gorgeous friends of ours for 2 very different occasions.

The idea behind sheer is always the same; to give the allusion of nudity, to show skin while still being covered. The trick to this is a proper foundation, in this case, what you put UNDER the sheer item.

For the tunic here that's worn as a dress, Quels has on a purple tank and olive military inspired shorts. so, while her tunic is sheer, she never runs the risk of being over exposed... Sexy, classy and elegant.

For the tank dress, the key is the slip. While the dress itself is completely sheer, the nude slip gives the coverage needed to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions. The integrity of the dress is kept, as is the integrity of the young lady wearing it.

When accessorizing with sheer materials, keep it fairly subtle. The focus should be on your garment. if it's a sheer top, stay away from necklaces, they'll provide too much clutter, using earrings and bracelets instead to make your accessory statements. The whole idea of sheer is bare and nude. You don't want to create a conflicting aesthetic by piling on the accessories. Keep it simple for a clean, classic, and alluring look.

Whether it be a sheer blouse, top, or dress, as long as you have the proper foundation underneath, pulling off this sexy staple, is quite simple. Sheer garments are something to add to your wardrobe that provide instant sex appeal and classic sophistication. Use them wisely ladies... Until next time...

Stylishly yours,
