As much as we love Bella Hadid and Kim Kardashian for bringing naked dresses back, the only time we’ve sported sheer dresses is on Instagram. We can’t exactly make the most of the naked trend at our post-work gigs or bashes — unless we’re crafty about it.
A sheer dress is a great look for a night out, but we rarely wear one without a sneaky corset or lining. And while that’s totally OK, we’d certainly like to invest in naked or semi-sheer numbers we can just throw on without any major planning and finessing. Sure, there are mesh dresses and sheer skirts that do the job just fine, but in case you want some sharp sheer dresses, these picks get props for wearability.
