Sheer Madness..

Are you daring enough to bare it all this Summer? The idea of transparent clothing is certainly a dominating trend this season. While at one time we wore clothes to cover up, designers suggest leaving less to the imagination with body conscious blouses, statement evening wear and the modern version of this trend, floor length and asymmetrical skirts.

Keep these ideas in mind to elevate this look..


Dior, Celine, Lanvin

Do.. keep it in the same colour family. Mix-and-match undergarments had it's fashion moment, but to keep this look modern 0pt for a clean palette.

Don't.. confuse runway with real life. Just because high-fashion runways dictate a no holds barred demeanor when it comes to showing it all, remember the real world asserts a more conservative approach.

Do.. opt for solid shades. Transparent garments are best kept in a solid colour scheme without boisterous patterns. To create the most flattering silhouette for any body type stick to neutral colours.

Now that summer is upon us, so are a whole new onslaught of questionable fashion choices. How do we stay atop fashion when we're well, wearing less of it?

When the thermometer goes up it's easy to automatically pull on a pair of shorts and slip into your favourite Havaianas. But, why not pair your shorts with some platforms instead? 

This is a great daytime look for the hot months ahead, but how do we dress up shorts without crossing the shaky line of exuding more trash than class?

Here are some tips on how to make this pair perfection; 

Do...  

keep edges clean, always wear shorts with a finished hem

wear with chunky heels, wedges, platforms, or flatforms
