Skirts are having a fashion moment, once again but this time, they’re donning their bare, more brazen avatar. Sheer skirts are all the rage this season and while they may seem impractical in theory, with a little imaginative styling, they can up your style game by a few notches. “While Hollywood stars are wearing transparent skirts with high-waisted briefs and boy shorts, or with strategically-placed embroidery, these styles may be a little too risqué for daily life,” shares fashion designer Aanchal Bubber Mehta. She shares her tips:
A long and oversized cardigan top or blazer, cinched with a chic belt can offer much-needed coverage, as can wearing a mini skirt underlayer. However, if you want to maximize the coverage and the aesthetics, Mehta recommends investing in a thick nude-coloured skirt that lets the fabric of the skirt shine while also keeping you covered. For something in between, especially for evening gigs, body-shaping shorts can create a more streamlined silhouette without making you look too matronly. A tube shapewear under-dress is another favourite amongst social media influencers, while a satin slip skirt adds a classic touch.
