As you scroll through the new trends of the season, you’ve surely noticed that tulle, sheer tights, and the transparency trend are absolutely everywhere. Indeed, if there is one trend to follow this year, it’s adding a touch of transparency to your look. I can see you coming; wearing a nude dress in winter while all you want is to snuggle under a big Christmas sweater isn’t very practical…but the good news is that we can dare to wear transparency without freezing outside. Here are five urgent tips to master transparency like Kendall Jenner or Bella Hadid.
Where Does Transparency in Fashion Come From?
The seductive game of transparency has a long history in fashion. Transparency reached its peak in 1962 thanks to actress Marilyn Monroe, who wore the naked dress when she sang her famous “Happy Birthday Mr. President” for John F. Kennedy’s birthday. Have you heard about the naked dress recently? That’s normal; it was at the heart of the scandal at the Met Gala 2022, where the famous dress was worn by Kim Kardashian, who allegedly damaged it. These rumors were later denied by the Ripley organization, the owner of the dress, which had acquired it for a whopping 4.8 million dollars.
Feeling the sexual revolution coming in 1968, designers like Yves Saint Laurent played with long sheer dresses that revealed the bust.
Transparency saw a new peak in popularity in the 90s with iconic models like Kate Moss, who dared to wear a completely nude dress with only a tiny black thong as an accessory.
How to Wear Transparency Without Being Vulgar?
We love Kim Kardashian, and sometimes we wish we could just throw caution to the wind and dress like her. But here’s the thing: we live in a world that’s a bit different from the Kardashian family, and unfortunately, we must wear clothes suitable for everyday life. Conclusion: dare to wear transparency, but with style and without vulgarity. The solution? Embrace transparency with a current trend.
Has this given you some ideas? Keep reading and get inspired by these five current trends that will allow you to wear transparent clothing that is neither seen nor known (well, almost).
1. The Gothic Sheer Black Shirt
Are you also a fan of the gothic Netflix series Wednesday, the new goth fashion influencer who inspires celebrities? You’re not alone; Kendall Jenner has also immediately adopted the sheer gothic look that suits her perfectly.
If Wednesday Addams inspires you, opt for a sheer black blouse with a black top without a bra. For the bottom, choose a simple piece like a beautiful high-waisted jean and some cute flats.
2. The Romantic Chiffon Dress
Nothing is more romantic than the famous powder pink chiffon dress. An iconic piece in women’s wardrobes, this light and silky dress debuted on the runway of Fendi, which showcased it at the opening of its Autumn-Winter 2023 Fashion Week show.
It suits all body types and occasions. For a sexy date night at home, do like Bella Hadid and dare to wear a total nude transparency. Are you invited to a cocktail party? Opt for a powder pink chiffon dress with several layers that are opaque enough not to reveal anything.
3. The Futuristic Sheer Skirt
You might think that the season is not ideal for wearing sheer skirts in the middle of winter. What were the designers thinking to make us wear such light dresses in cold weather? In any case, if you want to stick to the trend while staying warm, adopt the futuristic sheer skirt in vinyl, reminiscent of faux leather, another major trend this year. Pair it with some sheer tights that are also a real seduction asset.
4. The Long Sheer City Skirt
Is it difficult to stroll through the city in such a skirt? It’s true, but admit that the effect is quite stunning. Plus, you don’t need to have legs like Victoria’s Secret angel Elsa Hosk to dare to wear a long sheer skirt! Indeed, minor imperfections will go unnoticed, and only the sexy side of the outfit will remain.

5. Bonus: Embrace the Transparency Trend with Our Accessories
The Transparent Umbrella
We must admit, we are rarely sexy in the rain, unless we manage to stay dry under an umbrella that reveals our look even in bad weather. The transparent umbrella is definitely fun, affordable, and glamorous.
The Transparent Bag
Graphic, with a dynamic and simple design, the transparent bag from La Redoute can accompany you to the beach or in the city. Its little extra: it includes an opaque pouch that can hold whatever you want to keep secret.
A little advice for the slightly messy girls: remember to tidy up your things before going out and avoid letting your clutter spread out in plain sight!
The Transparent Glasses
They don’t suit everyone, but they are very original if you adopt them. Just one pair can completely change your look and, if chosen well, can add an original and eccentric touch. Though transparent, they are not unnoticed. If in doubt, it’s better to refrain from wearing them rather than making a fashion faux pas that would stand out like a nose in the middle of the face!
