Okay, so I’ve been seeing “sheer attire” all over my Pinterest and TikTok lately, and I finally decided to give it a shot. Honestly, I was a little intimidated at first – it felt a bit… daring? But I figured, why not experiment a little?
First, I rummaged through my closet. I didn’t have a ton of sheer pieces, but I did find this black mesh top I bought ages ago and never wore. It was kinda sitting in the “maybe someday” pile. I also had a simple black bralette that I thought might work underneath.
My Experimentation Process:
- Tried it on: I put on the bralette and then slipped the mesh top over it. My initial thought? “Hmm, not bad!” It was definitely showing some skin, but in a way that felt kinda cool and edgy, not overly exposed.
- Layering experiments: Next, I played around with layering. I threw a black blazer over the top. This instantly made the look feel more “me” – a bit more polished and less… “naked.” I also tried it with a denim jacket, which gave it a more casual, daytime vibe.
- Bottom half 고민 (Bottom-Half Troubles): Figuring out what to wear on the bottom was tricky. I tried on a pair of high-waisted black jeans first, and that worked pretty well. It kept the look streamlined. I also tried a flowy midi skirt, which was okay, but felt a little too dressy for what I was going for.
- Accessorize!: For feeling more confident, I add a silver necklace.
Finally, I settled on the mesh top, bralette, blazer, and high-waisted jeans combo. I added some chunky boots and a simple silver necklace. And you know what? I actually felt pretty good! It was definitely outside my usual comfort zone, but in a fun, empowering way.
I even wore the outfit out to grab coffee with a friend. I got a few compliments, which was a nice confidence boost. I think the key is to just own it, you know? If you feel good, you’ll look good.
I’m definitely going to keep experimenting with sheer pieces. Maybe next time I’ll try a sheer skirt or even a sheer dress with a slip underneath. It’s all about finding what makes you feel comfortable and confident. So, if you’re on the fence about sheer attire, I say go for it! Just start small, play around with layering, and most importantly, have fun with it!
