Sheer Genius

Sheer tops, skirts, and dresses were seen on many Spring 2011 runways. Designers such as Givenchy, J Mendel, Alberta Ferretti, and Rag and Bone all featured sheer garments in their shows. Sheer skirts were definitely a standout, and I think the pieces seen are very versatile. Sheer can be worn as a sexy, revealing garment, or can be layered with other pieces to create a more casual and fun style. They look great with wedges or espadrilles on breezy Spring days. These sheer garments come in a variety of fabrics and styles, from many different designers and brands. Furthermore, you can find sheer garments at every price point, so whether you want to find a super trendy version at Forever 21, or spend some serious bucks on a classic and lasting piece such as Givenchy, you are sure to find these sheer pieces at retailers of every price range. The silk, crochet, and lace skirts pictured below will keep you right on trend. Wear them long or short, these skirts will surely make a statement as we head into the spring and summer months!
