CREME DE LA CROP: SHEER LAYERS

Resisting the "I see London, I see France..." mockery rhymes, we're declaring that sheer layering is going strong into fall. The look is taken to extremes (naturally) on runways at fall shows like Emanuel Ungaro whose striped maxi leaves little to the imagination, and Gucci who dares to expose leggy lengths through its veils with no more than hot shorts masking the models' goods. While that degree of display may not be your pace, layering sheer dresses can look tasteful yet sexy as demonstrated by the always lovely, actress Zelda Williams. Her sheer maxi layered over a well-covered bustier mini dress, has an innocence that juxtaposes nicely with the edginess of her bag and coif.

Inspired, we embarked on a hunt for some standout sheer layered items that will achieve the same look. These are great season transition items to be considered! Shop our sheer layer finds we felt were cream of the crop!
