Sheer fabrics, Perspex clutches and transparent strappy heels. There is simply no escaping this spring/summer trend. From the runways of Victoria Beckham to Christopher Kane the transparent trend has been creeping in and making its mark on the fashion industry. There is something alluring about this trend as it adds an element of nakedness, being open and almost bare, without being classless. The transparent trend adds demure and sophistication. This also gives some edge to outfits and almost plays the part of a surprise within an ensemble.
Transparent clothing oozes sex appeal without being too
vulgar and provocative. Showing off hints of flesh with a mesh or sheer chiffon
top/dress can instantly give your outfit the spice it needs.
Transparent accessories can bring a fresh and bold
element/essence to an outfit. It also adds a daring air as if you own a
transparent rucksack or clutch your contents are exposed for everyone to see.
There are no limits with the transparent trend. It adds the
edge but also a girlie and womanly feel. Transparency brings outfits into the
future of fashion but somehow reminds me of the sex appeal of the 40s/50s,
where a woman would cover up but show little pieces of her skin.
The transparent trend is here to stay and will take S/S 2014 by storm.
