Summer Sheer Genius Guide

Sheer fabrics were on the top of every designer's list for Summer! These fabrics make even the most simple & casual pieces look sexy and stylish or as we like to call it, Sheer Genius!!


Check out our style inspirations below for a perfect Sheer look that will perfectly compliment your body and play up your personal style! Click here to visit our YouniqueType page, review our body types & take our body type quiz then ask yourself, How sheer will you go?!?!


Mozza
As the curvy queens of the body types, the key to styling a Mozza is normally to show off those curves and keep her tiny waist on display. With this sheer trend we suggest surrendering that waist line and going with a much looser approach.  
  • Try an embellished sheer dress with a slight fit to it like the one featured. The beautiful neckline gives your top half attention while the looser A line on the skirt balances your bottom for a flowing look you could stop traffic in! 
  • To go casual try an oversize, boyfriend styled button down in a sheer fabric paired with your favorite denim shorts. Whether you layer a form fitting tank under or go super sexy with just a bra your curvy silhouette will shine through while looking carefree.

Chala
Chalas are blessed with a very well proportioned body so its hard to style them badly. To increase their curves we normally focus on making the waist appear more narrow however for this trend we like to let her natural shape shine through.
  • For a fun sexy look try a sheer, lined romper. Thin straps the unlined portions of the outfit give it tons of sexy appeal without trying hard. If you want to add a bit more curve look for one that has an elastic or draw string waist band. 
  • Button downs are a Chala's best friend! They fit the her body type so well! Try a sheer sleeveless button down and top it with your favorite skinnies and heels for a dressier casual look or sandals to go sexy casual!

Tawnie
This trend is a must have in every Tawnie's closet! The sheer fabrics add dimension & interest without bulk and looking overpowered by the outfit.
  • A Tawnie is made much like a Chala just on a very small scale so its natural that button downs also compliment her perfectly! Try a printed sheer, sleeveless button down for a casual & flattering look but be sure to tuck it in or tie it up to keep from hanging past your hip bones. Team it up with your favorite jeans or shorts for a sweet but sassy look!
  • To kick it up look for a dress with sheer panels. The sheer blocks will add visual interest to your body and create a subtle illusion of a curvier figure. Be sure to keep your hemline above the top of your knee.

Jozie
Jozies can benefit in so many ways from a sheer piece of clothing. Sheer can create curves or disguise them, its all in how you style it!
  • For a classic, soft look pair a soft blouse with a straight or slightly gathered, sheer maxi skirt. Choose a blouse like the one featured with thin straps to show off your shoulders and some ruffles or neckline embellishment to draw the eyes to the bust for a balanced look. The lined look of the maxi skirt will give a slimming affect to your lower half. 
  • To go more casual, pair a sheer blouse with your favorite shorts or jeans. Look for a blouse that has some bust area interest. Our featured blouse has large pockets over the bust which helps draw the eye to the area and give it a fuller appearance. Keep the blouse hemline below the hip bones for a simple sexy look.

Suza
Suzas can embrace this trend with open arms! It will show off her sexy, leaner limbs and gives such a soft feminine feel to any outfit!
  • For a kicked up casual look, look for a sheer blouse without buttons and leave un-tucked. A sheer back on a blouse with vertical details on the front will create the look of a longer, leaner torso while maintaining that casual air. Pair it up with your favorite skinnies or textured leggings for a chic look!
  • To dress up Sheer, look for a dress with higher or lower cutouts lined with sheer fabric. This brings the eyes up or down for a more balanced look and the showing of the skin adds a sexy softness! Keep the waistline higher, empire style, for curves or dropped waist for a more casual approach.

Lola
Lolas will love this trend for adding curves to their straighter torso! The visual affect from partially lining a sheer fabric is both slimming and sexy!
  • Try a lined sheer blouse with a slight flare to the bottom on for size! The flare will give some fullness to leaner hips. Pair it up with a trumpet skirt or shorts that have fullness from pleats or side pockets for a very curvy look! 
  • Kick it up by layering a fitted tank under a sheer blouse. The contrast of the solid & the sheer is slimming and add instant curve appeal. Pair this with a pair of tight pants or a fitted pencil skit and tuck the blouse for a va va voom look that will never fail you!
