Hyderabad: It was a gala week for the fashion industry with the VMAs and the Emmy Awards. And while there were a lot of hits and misses, there were also a few who stood out, for example, Camila Alves who walked in with husband Matthew McConaughey, as wearing a sheer dress with a white mosaic pattern.
And she pulled it off being both bold and classy, considering sheer is also something which can go horribly wrong. Putting together a few tips for sheer dressing, stylist Neeraja Kona says, “The first thing to check while one is wearing sheer is that whatever they are wearing underneath should not just match their skin tone but also complement their dress for the day. People often go for contrast and end up looking tacky. To pull off sheer, it is important to have a confident and choose colours keeping lighting in mind.” However, she adds, “In a bid to look bold and different, make sure you don’t end up looking weird and vulgar.”
The right colours are very important too. Pearl Shah, the editor of The Juice by Jabong, explains the basics. “The biggest faux pas we see with sheer pieces is the wrong style of undergarment. It’s clear an outfit can be ruined if you don’t choose the proper lingerie. Shapes like boy shorts and thongs don’t work under a sexy lace dress.
Meanwhile, high-cut and high-waist briefs are significantly better and bodysuits and shapers are also stylish options for sheer lovers and they ensure a smooth finish. For a sheer top, if you want a feminine look, go for a dainty lace bra that is pretty enough to stand on its own. To keep the attention on the blouse, go for a black bandeau or cropped top underneath,” she says.
So yes, it’s possible to pull off sheer and all you need to know is the basics!
