YAY YAY YAY love this, the pieces, the places, and all the invaluable tips. Yesterday I wore a backless dress I never would have worn with the combo of a pink bra and a racerback tank under --- and loved. As I write this note I am in a sheer ball skirt (Tibi) and I have my husband's (floral!) shirt tucked into it, covering me. With a boy short for added confidence underneath. Thanks to you, I can't wait to get out my slip dresses and play around under stuff! And yesterday I was in a marketplace of LatinX designers and fell in love with a long Pima cotton vest with side ties. Now I will go back and pick this up and wear with a slip dress -- ala Prada you featured. XO Happy Sunday and thank you.

I'm not opposed to sheer, but I like to wear classic pieces. I find these too trendy for my closet. Thank you for your article though. It's nice to see what's out there for ideas.

I want to give a shout out to Doen's no-lace slips. Lots of options in basic colors and there is a brown! They feel great on. I've had some shrinking so they need careful washing!

I bought a Ven Store skirt (a brand you taught me about) that arrived yesterday and definitely needs a slip. Had it on my list to research today and here you are!! Amazing! Also reminding me that I have a gorgeous sheer shirts from JP Gaultier and Maria Pinto that should come back into rotation. They felt too young for me but this is the encouragement I needed- What FUN!!

would love something like the mango skirt in a pant - if anyone has recs for sheer pants (built in shorts are a plus!) please do share 🤞🏼

My very favorite of your columns. My aesthetic is very tuned into sheer layering, and you gave me more ideas. You look adorable in your shots.

One thing though, what's wrong with being glanced at? Lol

I am warming up to sheer... but one of the tricks I notice is having some very interesting bras, usually in bright colors or good neutrals and often with an interesting strap - something with lace or edging details. So the glimpse of color or strap is its own moment. I have not found a lot of options yet - a search for a neon colored bra with great straps (to go with my wardrobe of black) was not productive. As you have shown, undergarments can now be accents, so I will keep searching!
