"Enter the sheer skirt. Sheer skirts have appeared on the catwalk at brands including Simone Rocha and Chanel, and have been worn by celebrities. This week, Jacqueline Bisset wore one with a blazer to the Torino film festival, while Victoria Beckham wore one to a hen party in the summer. But they are also now on the high street including at Cos and Marks & Spencer."
"These designs often come with a strategically placed opaque panel to preserve the wearer's modesty. This fact alone may mean that a more respectable version of naked dressing will be spotted this party season. But even the more risque skirts without the panel are workable when worn with a jumper or blazer to cover the bottom. Of course, should the wearer be keen to combine extreme trends, they work with the day knicker as loved by the likes of Emma Corrin this summer."
Sheer skirts have moved from catwalk experiments to mainstream offerings, appearing at designers such as Simone Rocha and Chanel and being worn by celebrities including Jacqueline Bisset, Victoria Beckham and Millie Bobby Brown. High-street retailers including Cos and Marks & Spencer now stock sheer skirts, and Depop searches for the item are up 99% since January. Many sheer designs include strategically placed opaque panels to preserve modesty, while more revealing versions can be styled with jumpers or blazers. Layering and the underwear-as-outerwear trend drive popularity. The Frankie Shop's Peri skirt has been a bestseller and Cos cites transparent layering for its appeal. Content creator Camille Charriere has used upcycled sheer lace for a wedding dress, demonstrating wearable approaches.
