Runway to Reality: Wear Pretty Spring Sheers For Under $100

Marisa Tom — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:22:45 PST

It's a sheer, sheer world, and we're just living in it. Or so it would seem after taking a good long look at the key takeaways from the Spring '12 runways. Designers like Alberta Ferretti, Nina Ricci, Vera Wang, and Valentino embraced the romance of Spring and all of its sweet and sexy subtleties; thus, collections were jam-packed with peekaboo details. Everything from mesh cutouts to open weaves cropped up, but one of our favorite recurring trends was pretty, colorful, strategically placed sheer panels, underlays, coverlets, and more. Plus, we think showing off a hint of skin via see-through features is an effortlessly chic way to indulge your feminine side. To herald in a season of sheer madness, we've rounded up the "best of" pieces from around the web, and they just all happen to be under $100. Shop our picks below now!

Best of 2011: Which Runway Trend Was the Most Outrageous?

Brittney Stephens — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:30:48 PST

No year is complete without a few crazy fashion trends, and in 2011 there were a few that especially had us scratching our heads. Marc Jacobs sent moonboot-style wedges down his Fall runway, making for a far out, slightly space-age footwear trend. Burberry Prorsum and Christopher Kane showed '60s-inspired plastic and PVC pieces, great for keeping the rain at bay, but still a questionable everyday look. We also saw overstuffed, gorilla-esque fur sleeves at Peter Som and YSL and overtly sexy, undie-baring sheer skirts at Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, and more. Out of all the wacky wardrobe pieces we saw this year, which one was the craziest?

Transitional Dressing: Sheer Pieces to Wear Now and Layer Later

The sheer trend has been on our radar since the Fall '11 runways; we love that we can maximize the breeziness of sheer chiffon during these last hot weeks of Summer and then layer them later with cozier fabrics for an ethereal Fall look. While sheer pieces may not seem like a smart Fall investment, they're actually super versatile and will carry you through all four seasons. Click through to shop our favorite ways to go sheer.

When we saw this woman walking the streets of Paris (center photo), our jaws dropped - so gorgeous! Sure, she's wearing a sheer top, but she walks with such self-assurance and elegance, proving she can rock the sheer trend. After seeing it on the runways for Spring at Phillip Lim and Valentino, we know this trend is a good investment. Key points: pair it with ladylike elements so it doesn't feel cheap. A long flowy skirt and structured jacket can also balance out the sexiness of the sheer top. Click through our editor picks for gorgeous sheer black pieces to try.
