The sheer trend: lingerie made to be seen

Lingerie-inspired looks are redefining everyday elegance this season. The fashion weeks confirmed what street style and social media had already hinted at: lingerie & lace dressing are no longer reserved for the bedroom.

From transparency to everyday wear

This season’s sheer revival is about far more than exposure. Designers such as Chloé, Proenza Schouler, Valentino, Julie Kegels, and Diesel layered mesh, chiffon, and lace into their collections, creating lightness, depth, and dimension. What was once daringly transparent has evolved into wearable silhouettes with practical appeal.

Think:

  • Sheer overlays that turn simple underlayers into fashion statements
  • Coordinated lingerie sets designed to be intentionally revealed
  • Slip dresses worn like second skin, grounded with tailoring or wide-leg trousers
  • Lace camisoles styled beneath blazers for subtle sensuality

Why lingerie matters now

At the heart of this trend lies one truth: what you wear underneath is meant to be seen. Lingerie has become a stylistic choice, not just a functional one. Bralettes, high-waist briefs, lace slips, and mesh bodysuits are no longer hidden essentials. They are the foundation of the sheer look, elevating outfits into statements of confidence and modern femininity.

Whether styled with ballet flats and vintage bags for daytime chic, or gold jewellery for evening allure, lingerie and lace dressing give sheer fashion its free-spirited edge.

2026 summer trend: the cortisol closet
This summer we are saying goodbye to neon/brat-summer colours and hello to cortisol-reducing pastels. TikTok has been fixated on the effects that cortisol can have on the body, with terms like ‘cortisol face’ dominating feeds for months now. As everything moves faster than ever, fashion palettes are shifting towards something calmer, quieter and more restrained. Step into this slower state of mind and build your spring and summer wardrobe around colours that feel like ease.

Like mother, like style: celebrate her in every way
Style isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you learn, often without realizing it. From her. The way she throws on a trench coat like it’s effortless. How she always seems to choose just the right scarf. Why she consistently goes for quality over quantity. But it also lives in the moments you shared, long walks filled with stories you still remember, spontaneous trips that stayed with you. This Mother’s Day is about that influence. We celebrate the small things she passed on, the details that shaped your taste, your eye, and your way of living.
