Forget the Naked Dress, the Naked Top Is Having a Moment

As the temperatures begin to rise, it can be hard to resist the urge to flash a bit of skin. And, honestly, you shouldn’t, especially with all of the glorious sheer tops popping up in stores and on the runways.

Transparent blouses have evolved from a mere eye-catching trend to a spring-slash-summer essential that’s here to stay. Whether you aspire to party it up Rihanna style in a lace-trimmed, peek-a-boo number or channel your inner Dua Lipa in a ’90s-inspired design, the reveal-and-conceal shirt is the ultimate statement maker. And remember: The sheer top isn’t only reserved for a late-night rendezvous. A transparent button-down blouse could be the unexpected layering piece to complete your back-to-the-office wardrobe, too. Just be sure to layer with an oversized blazer, structured vest, or classic camisole to ensure you avoid any HR violations.
