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.
