Spring Fashion Trend: Sheer

The Sheer trend on BCBG's Spring RTW Runway

This month, College Fashion is covering all the biggest trends for spring. In case you missed it, last week, we talked about Boho Chic. Today it’s all about another one of the biggest spring trends for 2008: layers of sheer fabrics.

The transparent look was all over the Spring ‘08 runways at BCBG Max Azria, Monique Lhullier, John Galliano and Stella McCartney. Delicate fabrics like chiffon were mixed with muted colors and pastels to create a fairy-tale inspired look that’s ultra feminine and so much fun to wear. It’s really whimsical, ethereal, and not to mention sexy.

Note that the transparency trend isn’t about showing your underwear off, but about covering up using a few slightly see-through pieces layered over solids. It’s sexy in a subtle way, as opposed to when someone’s outfit screams “my clothes are see through!” Here’s how to wear it right.

    I can’t wait to get some metallic flats for spring. They go with almost everything.
