Wearing sheer clothing can seriously be a challenge. Knowing what the right undergarments are for a sheer piece of clothing can either make or break an outfit!I know I have had my difficulties with sheer clothing and this week’s style tip is how to wear sheer clothing!

When wearing something sheer you need to take into account a couple different questions: what function are you going to, which is the right undergarment, will this be appropriate, and are you really going to be comfortable wearing this piece? When answering the first question, think about the occasion you are going to. If this is a wedding or family function, you’ll most likely want to wear a color complimenting tank underneath like the Zenana tanks below because you don’t want to be showcasing your goods to your grandparents or anyone else for that matter!

The question of which is the right undergarment to wear is a judgement call on your behalf. If you are wearing a white blouse, then pair it with a white or tan tank underneath. You can even pair it with a colorful tank if you like. If you want to showcase a little more skin and go with the essence of the top being sheer, you can always pair a bandeau bra with your top. I like to pair a colorful bandeau bra with a top that is in the same color scheme. For example, if I am wearing a sheer orange top, I might pair a nude bandeau or a floral print bandeau that is more red. The choice is up to you but I try to incorporate my bandeau into my look and not just try to hide it! Try the Toska Blue Lace Bandeau Bra to make your bra more apparent or the Sis Sis Lace Backed Bandeau in Nude for more subtle coverage!

When you think about “will this be appropriate” goes back to what kind of function you are going to. If you’re going out dancing with your friends, a sheer top would be fun and sexy but would not be the same if you were going to a family dinner, at least with my family! You want to make sure you are showing the appropriate amount of skin for the right occasion.An example would be this sheer top below called the Solemio Kiki Top which can be worn to to any occasion with the right undergarments. If you were attending a family function you might pair it with a tank, otherwise wear it with a bandeau bra for a sexier look!

The last question is a big one that I always have to ask myself when I am in the dressing room before I even buy sheer clothing: will you be comfortable in this? If you find yourself constantly adjusting the clothing or don’t like the line of your pant being seen this is probably not the right top for you. You want to feel at your very best when you wear clothing and it should reflect your personality and personal style. If you are constantly picking or adjusting it, you are taking away from people looking at you for you. They will be able to read that you are uncomfortable! If you are daring enough to wear a sheer top like the Solemio Mia Top in Cobalt Blue, pair it with a nude bandeau pictured below or you could pair it with a navy bandeau or tank. Whatever makes you feel the best!

So remember, when buying something that is sheer think about where and when you will wear it, what to wear under it, and if you will really be comfortable in it! You want to draw attention to yourself with class and because of your smile not because a certain body part is showing!
