No, it's not just your imagination: sheer skirts really are everywhere at the moment. Lightweight and deliberately unlined, the sheer skirt has slipped into wardrobes with stealthy confidence, inviting its wearer to experiment with a more playful, layered way of getting dressed.
Prada put the style on our agenda for Spring Summer 2025, where sheer black skirts laid bare over knitted tights in bold colours. Fendi took a more dressed up approach, with skirts so sheer they almost felt invisible, embroidered with gemstones that resembled flowers in bloom. And at Hermès, sheer skirts and trousers fell to the floor like liquid, each style in neutral, wear-with-anything tones.
For the Fall Winter season, Chloe made a case for the sheer skirt as a bohemian staple, while Chanel riffed on the trend with layers of soft tulle that cascaded from classic tweed suiting.
If you thought the limb-baring style could only be worn on runways, think again. More and more, the sheer skirt is proving its wearability. For those unsure about slipping into something quite so revealing, boxer shorts or a mini skirt underneath, and something oversized — tailored shirting or a boxy tee — on top work hard to lend a little more coverage to translucent styles. Texture also plays a role. Sheer doesn’t have to mean boring. Organza, mesh, or lace fabrications add interest, while added detail like embroidery gives a skirt substance, even when it's semi-transparent.
