While we’ve incorporated other skirt trends from the runways into our wardrobes already—think of Prada and Miu Miu’s pleated skirts and Alaïa’s balloon-hem silhouettes, the sheer skirt can feel like a moment that’s meant to remain on the runway. But if you, like us in the Vogue offices, are determined to wear the sheer skirt trend this spring, you’ve come to the right place for inspiration.

So, how do you wear a sheer skirt IRL? By striking a balance with other accessories, layers, and spring outerwear—and proper undergarments, like bodysuits, tights, and slip skirts, of course. Use oversized jackets, like scarf-neck trench coats, and leather jackets. From those skirts that don’t come with the attached modesty mini, like this fully sheer lace option from Zara, opt for high-rise bloomers underneath. Add cool-girl retro sneakers or an effortless flip-flop to keep your weekend sheer skirt casual. Whether you go sheer for the day with a sporty parka or dare to wear it at work with a cashmere cardigan and suede loafer, our overarching styling advice would be to wear it with confidence.
Ahead, six ways to wear the sheer skirt for the new season.
Sporty Spice
Fold the updated athleisure vibe into your everyday wardrobe by pairing Cos’s cotton parka with a transparent Mango skirt. Play up the relaxed nature with a pair of flip-flops, and Hereu’s oversized tote.
Workin’ (Fashion) Gal
This skirt is only sheer toward the hem, so you have all the coverage you’d need for a chic workday. Add a burst of color to pair alongside the neutral hues with Guest in Residence’s poppy blue cashmere cardigan. Suede loafers and a trench coat coat with a detachable scarf round out the look.
Off-Duty Chic
Give your Sunday stroll attire a much-needed refresh by swapping baggy denim for a siren red sheer skirt. Don’t worry—it’s still relaxed thanks to Nike’s V2k sneakers and Madewell’s woven shopper tote bag.
Best-Dressed Guest
The trend lends itself perfectly to after-dark looks, for those who want to take a translucent approach to evening wear. Porto’s Pouch bag and Khaite’s strappy sandals are the perfect accessories to top off this pared-back look.
Leather Weather
Shades of cream and brown layer beautifully together in ethereal fabrics. Toughen up TWP’s organza midiskirt with a chocolate brown leather jacket from St. Agni.

Romance, Infused
Peplum hemlines, ruffles, and lace are the ladylike details we’re bringing into the spring. Try your hand with Jil Sander’s smocked jacket, complete with a feminine turned-up hemline, and team it with kitten heels and a silky pouch.
