HOW TO STYLE THE SEE-THROUGH DRESS TREND
Sheer outfits are here to stay. The see-through dress trend really can work for everyone, whether it’s for a glamorous evening look or a festival outfit.
If you’ve ever wondered what to wear under a sheer dress - or top, or crop, for that matter - you’re in the right place. From matching lingerie sets for true elegance and flair, to high-waisted knickers or neon swimwear fit for the Summer sun, we’ve got all the knickers and bikinis you’ll need to style this look like a pro!
STYLING TIP #1: LAYER SHEER UNDER SHEER
As more is more sometimes in fashion, we recommend considering giving 100% to the sheer look! Opt for the prettiest of sheer bras to create a layered look. Where to start? The Annabella sheer balconette bra of course. Delicate, floral embroidery will always look amazing on sheer mesh; and feels even better with a built-in sling for unbeatable support and lift. Worn under your favourite sheer top or a see-through maxi, this bra is fit for sexy date night outfits.
One thing to note - be sure to balance things out with opaque knickers if your full outfit is see-through. We don’t want you to get arrested!
The Alicia balconette bra in cobalt blue looks incredible under Summer brights, too. More floral-on-mesh patterning here, plus satin bows and sparkles bring extra depth and detail; this one’s perfect paired under a sultry black sheer top.
Whilst we love the double sheer look, make sure to utilise nipple covers whilst out and about.
STYLING TIP #2: CREATE AN ILLUSION WITH NEUTRAL SHADES
At other times, modesty prevails and less is more - so create a seamless illusion with neutral shades. The Strapless u-wire microfibre multiway bra fulfils the brief as a versatile style with a contoured smoothing finish, that looks amazing and fully embraces the barely-there trend!
The Ultra light microfibre plunge t-shirt bra is another firm favourite for creating a seamless impression. This bra solution is all about everyday comfort, designed to create a natural shape under any sheer material. Get it all the way up to a cup size G, too.
Want plunge padding for a push-up boost, without underwiring? Clever design brings all of this together in the Comfort microfibre plunge bra. Multiway capabilities let you wear it your way, too. Add the Smoothing soft-stretch high-waisted thong - available in three skin tones, to add a smooth finish and a cheeky touch to any sheer silhouette.
STYLING TIP #3: ALWAYS GO FOR HIGH-WAISTED STYLES UNDER A SHEER OUTFIT
The secret to sheer is feeling in control of how much you’re baring and confidence in your under-layers, which is why high-waisted bikinis and knickers work so well.
Everyday high-waist wearability is key for nailing see-through style. So the Seamless microfibre high waist briefs are an undisputed must-have. In the softest microfibre material and three core colours keep attention firmly on your favourite sheer attire. The Microfibre strapless bra proves the perfect companion, and if you’re daring to bare a little more under that mesh, the Smoothing high-waisted thong is the one for you.
You could also try the Rhodes high waist bikini brief. Matte fabric and a high waist belt make for understated glamour, and this classic style looks incredible teamed with the Rhodes bandeau bikini top. Boning for a structured fit and a removable halter neck strap means it’s possible to update your outfit depending on the occasion - and your mood!
The Sorrento high waist bikini briefs will work wonderfully under any sheer ensemble too. Crinkle fabric will add texture to your outfit, and with three striking colourways to choose from, we’re spoilt for choice. Don’t leave the Sorrento plunge bikini top behind: U-wiring and a plunge style bring a daring element to your sheer wardrobe, whilst keeping things subtle, smoothed and supported.
STYLING TIP #4: GO FOR A MATCHING SET UNDER YOUR SHEER DRESS
What to wear under that stunning see-through dress? A matching set always feels beautifully put together and makes for a standout sheer-style. For worn-to-be-seen chic, a satin set is unbeatable. Cue the Betsy satin plunge bra. An effortlessly elegant piece, silk-like satin meets luxurious pleating for a bra that deserves to be on show! Pair with the Betsy tanga briefs and let stunning eyelash lace edging work its magic under your see-through favourites.
If full coverage under a sheer outfit is key for you, try the Betsy satin body. A sensational addition to any see-through evening look. Combine your mesh dress with this gorgeous satin body for textured glamour you’ll wear again and again.
The Billie balconette lingerie set is another must-have for see-through dress days (and nights). A classic cut that makes for top-notch coverage and support, there’s even boosted padding for smaller cup sizes.
It’s not just lingerie sets that work under see-through dresses, bikini sets can also be the perfect solution. The Ibiza black bikini top features wiring for unbeatable support and on-trend cup ruching. Match with the Ibiza ruched side briefs and enjoy a set designed to skim and shape under your best sheer outfit or beachwear.
STYLING TIP #5: GO BRIGHT UNDER SEE-THROUGH DRESSES
Opt for on-trend sky blue and sage green hues in ultra-feminine styles. Both the Ferne plunge bra and the Mia plunge bra are gorgeous choices. Delicate lace and a classic plunge style can be found on the Mia, whilst the Ferne bra brings a sense of harness lingerie - ideal for layering under a sheer top or dress.
The Tulum bandeau bikini top brings a striking colour pop to any see-through outfit. It combines the perfect amount of padding, super hot neon and glamorous gold hardware to ensure you stand out to sheer perfection this season. Don’t leave without the Tulum high-waist brazilian bikini bottoms too. The ruched belt feels extra luxurious and makes this pair very welcome under sunset-worthy sheer outfits!
