Tip of the day: Don't be so transparent

Filed under: Style in the News, Style Tip of the Day


It is often difficult for people to find anything that you can bring into your own life when it comes to haute couture except for the entertainment factor. That's what we're here for – to pull the haute trends from the runway and deliver them to you in wearable form.

After visiting the house of designer's like Jean Paul Gaultier and Valentino via YouTube, we've uncovered the biggest trend that was shown on nearly every haute couture runway.

Drum roll please...

Transparency! In other words, see through clothes – sounds a little crazy right? It could be if you pull looks straight off of the runway. However, we've found that the key to bringing this look into reality is layering. Here are a few rules to follow to make sure you get the look right.

• Don't give a private part or lingerie peep show.

• Layer tops with a camisole or beneath a jacket.

• Layer dresses or skirts with a slip, pants, another skirt, or shorts.

• This look is best done in evening wear, when you can layer it over a beautiful black dress or wear a sheer wrap.

See below for a little runway inspiration as well as some items that will work for the everyday individual.
