How to use Sheer to look sexy

Sheer is a very fine fabric, usually see through and light in weight.
We all own several clothes and accessories in sheer but sometimes fail to style it right. 
So today I am going to talk about various ways to wear your sheer's without being shoddy. 

Formal Look 
  • A crisp black or white shirt is perfect for a formal look. If your work permits you can wear a solid colour with little bit of contrast on the collar or the pocket area. 
  • Don't forget to have a comfortable well fitted inner to go with your shirt. Often an ill fitted inner would roll up exposing the stomach and back at your work meetings making it rather awkward for you to cover up. 
  • Most sheer fabrics give a foul smell when there is sweating. Wearing the shirt for more then 8-10 hours at a stretch for work will give out an foul smell. Make sure to use a 24 hour deodorant protection for your underarms. 
  • Remember an impressive appearance is half battle won.
Living it up
  • A sheer dress is most commonly available right from a fashion street to a high street mall. This will be the easiest thing for you to buy on your next shopping trip and remember you need not burn a hole in your pocket for the sheer dress. 
  • If you are buying something that you can sport on a beach then go for bright colours and lots of prints. Do not splurge on this dress because the only other place you will be able to wear it is an Hawaiian themed party. Go for a long dress like a maxi. They are comfortable on the beach and don't fly easily when windy. 
  • For a party - A dress with the shoulder in sheer looks very elegant. Again be careful to wear the right type of inner wear with this. Go for a strapless inner wear in order to avoid a fashion faux. Another option is to wear a dress with a sheered uneven hemline. You can wear this with a belt if your dress is in a solid colour
  • Sheer and Glitter go very well. So if you are up to look like a shiny diva pick up a sheer with glitter
  • A peek-a-boo of sheer near the waistline if you have one which you can flaunt, will definitely make heads turn
For not so thin
  • Don't worry if you have a heavier upper body, sheer will works for you too. Go for prints on your sheer top this will divide the attention of the onlooker and the flab will go unnoticed. 
  • If you are wearing a solid sheer top go for a dark shade like black, dark blue, maroon, bottle green etc. Team it with a neon or bright coloured bottom like mustard, sky blue, mint green etc. 
Traditional Indian Wear and The New Indian Wear (Gowns)
  • If you are a modern age bride and want a fusion to spill over your garments then a sheer blouse with Indian embroidery is for you. A sheer back looks absolutely sexy and will play a cute camouflage with your skin. 
  • Gown which has made a quick entry into Indian weddings can be made with a lot of sheer. A flowy dress for a cocktail or a gown for a reception can use sheer beautifully. 
For your toes
  • The same principles that apply to your clothes hold true for your shoes. 
  • A sheer with glitter heel is so desirable. This can be your accessory with an LBD. It will instantly lift up your fashion quotient. 
  • A peek a boo of sheer and other materials in a single colour look very fashionable. 
So I say cheer with your sheer's.
