How to Wear the Sheer Dress Trend

Stemming from an industry-wide Y2K fashion revival, the sheer dress trend has been all the rage of late. The steamy style has been a recent choice for stylish celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Lizzo, and Doja Cat, who never shy away from making bold fashion statements. Brands, especially emerging labels, are toying with sheer dresses too—Charlotte Knowles, Nensi Dojaka, and Di Petsa are just a few who have produced interesting iterations.

Though a sheer style may seem daring to some, it can be made palatable for everyday wear with a conscious knowledge of layering and silhouette. Psychedelic and floral prints are commonplace amongst fashion's current sheer dresses, making these pieces the perfect fit for any holiday parties on your social calendar this season. Here, see some of our favorite sheer dresses worn by stylish celebrities and crafted by fashion's hottest brands.

A frequent wearer of this trend is the glamorous Khloe Kardashian, who is a fan of fashioning alluring, bold, figure-hugging clothing. She has channeled the sheer dress trend numerous times, as evidenced by the two awe-worthy Instagram posts below. Her sister, the one and only Kim Kardashian, has also employed the sheer dress trend in her closet. 

A sheer dress has also been seen on American actress and bona fide fashionista Devon Lee Carlson.
