HOW TO PULL OFF SHEER TOPSWearing a sheer shirt may sound risqué, but with the right layering pieces, even the most prudish dressers can get the look without feeling daft or drafty. The trick is to cover up without covering it all: That means finding just the right blazer to wear open, opting for a slightly frilly, fuller bra, picking button-ups with cleverly tinted breast pockets, and being strategic about layering one sheer shirt over another. It's sexy, it's daring, and you're sure to hit the sartorial jackpot if you do it just right. Here are four different ways to play peek-a-boo!
1. Slip on a boyfriend blazer—To show a little without going overboard, top off your sheer blouse with a sharp classic jacket. Feeling frisky? Leave it unbuttoned and wait for something interesting to happen.
2. Mix and match with sheer on sheer —So you have a ton of awesome see-through tops and can't decide which one to rock? Pile 'em on! Try mixing it up by pairing clashing prints...the unexpected combo might really surprise you (in a good way).
3. Layer over some hot lingerie—Choose a bustier or bra with fuller cups and more elaborate edging. Layer it with a high-waisted skirt for more coverage.
4. Double up with pockets—For those who are paranoid about strong gusts of wind, you can add a bit more coverage with a button-up with opaque pockets. For extra protection, double-stick-tape the insides so you don't accidentally show more than you want to.
