If you follow fashion news, odds are high that you already know the spring-summer 2018 trends.

So, a shout out to all the fashionistas - What was the common factor in the collections of Helmut Lang, Simone Rocha, Burberry and Emporio Armani?

The acute familiarity was in the abundance of sheer clothes. From barely-there dresses, plastic denims, to embroidered tulle skirts in diaphanous fabrics, 2018’s runway fashion trends leave little room for imagination.

Here’s how you can add touches of sheer to your personal fashion diary, without running the risk of going OTT.

1. Lace Maxis

As showcased by Christopher Kane, the dainty and feminine lace is in vogue yet again. Dress up for a gala night in a lace maxi with sheer panels and lace detailing. Your bold choice of outfit will surely have heads turning your way. Just remember to keep the look balanced by throwing in accessories like a moto jacket if the garment shows too much skin.

2. Slip Dresses

If too much skin show makes you uncomfortable, play it smart with a sheer slip dress. Double up the dressing with an additional layer beneath and let the sheer fabric make a statement.

3. Tulle Skirts

Here’s one of the easiest trends to replicate directly from the runway. Tulle skirts are going to be everywhere in 2018. The flowy style, combined with sheer fabric creates a dreamy look that you can flaunt easily for everything from dinner dates to wedding receptions.

4. Plastic Trenches

Take the bold route to show off your fashionable side with transparent trenches. Popularised by Burberry in its Spring-Summer 2018 collection, plastic trenches are a fashionably practical addition to your wardrobe. Wear them on top of your co-ords or jumpsuits and take layering to the next level.

5. Sheer Cardigans

Cardigans are useful accessories to keep you cozy and warm, right? And this season, they are fashionably sheer! Wear your tops and dresses with a translucent cardigan on top to shuffle things up a bit in the style department. So are you up for some fashionable layering?
