Show a Flash of Flesh This Spring and Embrace the Sheer Trend



Ladies, prepare to bare.  The body is in fashion.  This spring, feel the cool breeze on your skin and refresh your go-to staples with a twist of sheer perfection.

In a sheer panic over this season’s transparent trend? Don’t be, a brief flash of flesh is all it requires.  For those who don't dare to bare a new school of see through dressing chiffon blouses, thinly veiled sheaths and tulle paneled skirts offer a glimpse of skin more tantalizing than tawdry.  Thin layers of organza and chiffon transform preppy collared dresses into something slightly risque, whilst the same fabrics also give a soft, sensual touch to stark minimalist lines.

The key, as it so often is, is subtlety. Spring 2013’s trend for sheer fabrics allows us to celebrate our curves in a sophisticated manner. A big feature on the catwalks was the curve-revealing paneled skirts and jumpsuits in featherweight fabrics that brought a discreetly daring flash of flesh.  Check out the looks from the Christopher Kane and Marc Jacobs below.

We know sheer frocks are beautiful if your DNA made you a blueprint for the catwalk, but switch to real life and regular bodies-  wafting around in sheer fabrics with it all on show can feel a more intimidating. Luckily for us, stylishly exposing yourself is more forgiving than it seems.


Now that the sunshine is making its return, its time to show some skin!
