Do You Do Sheer?

Many celebs do.

The Look For Less: Kain Label Crop Top

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Ever since Rihanna wore that sheer black top over a striped bikini top, I've been craving the same peek-a-boo effect. It's demure but shows your naughty side, too. So I set out on a serious hunt for a just-sheer-enough tee and found this Kain Label Sheer Crop Top ($84). I really like the boxy cut and how it's scooped in the front. But further into my hunt, I spotted a less expensive version. Don't you love it when that happens?

Look at what we have here: a Silence & Noise Cropped Dolman Tee ($32) that's practically the twin sister of the Kain version. It also comes in four other colors. It has the same oversize boxy cut and scoop neckline, and it's just sheer enough to be sassy. If you don't seek the overly boxy look, I recommend going a size down.

Trend Alert: See-Thru

Don't shoot the messenger. This trend takes me back to the mid-90s when Supers wore bra tops under sheer Donna Karan bodysuits. It looked great then, but does it now? Let's examine. Lindsay enjoys showcasing her assets, and she kept her see-thru attempt dark and moody. However, it calls attention to her hips; just an observation. Heidi can pull off most everything, but the mesh over the blue bra isn't my favorite. Too literal. Lauren gets my top vote. Her oversize sheer tee is cute, regardless, and her solid black bra provided full(er) coverage because it looks more like a bikini top. Not for the faint, but if you've got it, flaunt it, right?

Hilary Duff in Sheer LBD: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:00:22 -0800

Hold up: Is this an Olsen I'm looking at or Hilary Duff? I did a double take when I saw the singer at TRL's goodbye party. I can totally see Ashley rocking this unique look.

Like many of the other guests, Hilary opted for an LBD. But hers isn't any old black dress; it has a sexy sheer layer. She then cinched her ensemble with a wide leather belt and kept her feet simple with black patent pumps. She dressed up her earlobes with large earrings - her signature. Are you feeling this chic new Hilary?

Gwyneth Paltrow in Sheer Lace Antonio Berardi: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 06:00:22 -0800

Gwyneth Paltrow confidently walked the Parisian red carpet at the premiere of her movie Two Lovers. Admit it: She took a risk wearing this Antonio Berardi sheer lace dress from his Spring '09 collection. Clearly we can see her panties and bra, but since that's the point of the frock, she doesn't seem to mind.

Her black and white booties match her dress so perfectly, you would think they were made by the same designer. Negatory, they're Rupert Sanderson's Kit Kat shoe boots ($1,100). A diamond necklace and earrings lend shine and sophistication to the look. What do you think? Did Gwyneth shut it down or did she reveal too much?

Celebrity Style: Heidi Klum

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Hot mama Heidi Klum continually knows how to make it work. As of late, she's been into the peek-a-boo effect with a sheer blouse and sexy bra. At LA Fashion Week, she proved that sheer doesn't have to equal slutty. To contrast the overly feminine floral blouse, Heidi wore a black textural mini skirt. And way to spice things up with the gray suede pumps. An Elizabeth and James silver ring and a patent chain-handle bag round it all in Heidi's signature sexy and confident way.

Floral Flutter Top - $19.99	Thomas Burberry Brenchley Black Leather Skirt - $292.50
'Virginia' suede pump - $160.00	Diamond-Quilted Bag - $59.00
Simone Perele black lace trim full cup 'Adelaide' underwire bra - $58.00	Elizabeth and James Knuckle Ring: Silver - $195.00

Online Sale Alert! Savings at Revolve Clothing

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 02:00:22 -0700

If I could buy everything at Revolve Clothing, I probably would. Too bad the steep prices stop me. The good news is that its sale section has plenty of items for cheaper than usual. Right now you'll find dresses, tops, pants, and a few purses and shoes.

I have been eyeing this Nanette Lepore Ain't She Sweet Top ($160, originally $320) for some time now. It will give me a chance to participate in the sheer trend without revealing too much.

Trend Alert: Sheer

FabSugarUK — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 01:00:15 -0700

Sheer is my big tip for next season. Whether it's a sheer shirt or a dress with sheer detailing it's a demure yet sexy look which can be easily pulled off.

Madonna has already worn the trend and it appeared on the catwalk at Chanel, Luella and countless Graduate Fashion Week shows.

It's good to see the world of fashion returning to such a grown-up style of dressing. Team a Victorian style blouse with a pencil skirt (as pictured at Chanel) or wear a dress with patches of sheer with thick black tights.

If you are big busted then avoid a high-necked blouse, instead opt for an open neck or pussy-bow tie.

JL Square Knit Jumper, Black - £35.00	Vanessa Bruno Sequin mini dress - £332.00
Ditsy Sheer Dress - £50.00	Thread Social Silk organza sheer dress - £375.00
Matthew Williamson Beaded chiffon blouse - £582.00	Royal blue ruffle sheer blouse - £22.00
Sheer Ruffle Top - £99.00

Casa Quickie: Lighten Up for Spring

CasaSugar — Fri, 16 May 2008 15:00:19 -0700

In case you haven't noticed, it's Spring! Isn't that supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!? Yes, it is. So, it's time to lose a few pounds — and I'm not suggesting you get in shape for the beach. You really need to lighten up your windows! Move that thick velvet drapery to your storage closet in favor of some airy, sheer panels or shades. Spring light is nothing to shy away from; it should be whole-heartedly embraced. Not only will switching to sheer panels let in more light, but it'll give your home a more relaxed look. And, why shouldn't your home loosen up a bit when you're already sporting shorts and flip-flops? Here are a few styles that should fit the bill.

Blue Stripe Grommetted Linen Panels - $69.00	Matine Toile Roman Shade - Select Items - $119.00
Lantern Window Panel - $39.00	Medallion Window Panel - $34.00
White Crinkle Voile Curtain Panel - $14.99	Smocked Drape - $50.00
Carlisle Drape - $19.00	Paisley Panel - $49.50
Outdoor Sheer Grommet Drape - $69.00

Celebrity Style: Selma Blair

FabSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Selma always seems to have a trick up her sleeve when it comes to fashion - she's one of the few people I've seen attempt the sheer trend and pull it off. Her Marc Jacobs grey cashmere shell and skirt look not only luxurious but comfortable. Insert Coco Chanel quote here: "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury." Add some simple, beautiful jewelry and a pop of color, and you've got yourself a modern classic.
