Trend Alert: Winter Sheers

 I know!  This sounds like a crazy trend, but it’s actually a really easy one to wear.  I think ‘winter sheers’ is the fashion world’s solution to the crazy weather patterns we are experiencing worldwide.  It’s a great way of dressing for the inter-seasonal months. 

Not yet convinced, read further before you make your final decision:

1.    Sheers don’t just have to be transparent. 

The trend is about wearing lightweight fabrics that flow.  This can be in the form of your favourite summer dress or a chiffon dress with a nude slip underneath it.  If you love transparent, wear it strategically and sparingly.  Try a lace top with a cami underneath it or a long chiffon skirt with a shorter lightweight skirt underneath it to show off some leg.

2.    Layer it.

Sheers are being worn with heavier weight fabrics for warmth.  Remember Lili’s style makeover last year?  This is a great example of how to layer your favourite summer dress to work for the cooler months too.  For additional warm, add a coat or leather jacket.  You can really play with this one.  It makes your wardrobe favourites more wearable no matter what the season.

3.    Mix textures.

Wearing contrasting textures together is a hot trend this season.  So mix your lightweight fabrics with leather, tweed, faux fur and brocade.  If a sheer dress gives you a chill, opt for a sheer blouse with a leather skirt or brocade trousers.   

Sheers are no longer season specific, so play with your summer wardrobe and see how many of your most loved items can stay in your closet for the winter.
