"You know the sheer trend is chic and here to stay, at least for a few seasons anyway, but do you know how the heck to wear it without getting arrested for public indecency? A tricky matter, that!\nWhat looks good on the runway may not necessarily play in real life (call me crazy, but I tend not to want to flash my nipples to strangers on New York City streets). You want to look equal parts feminine and edgy when you wear sheer fabrics, not like a Pamela Anderson impersonator. So what the heck are you actually supposed to wear under all of those pieces? Behold, a primer, culled from extensive personal experience of trial and error.\nPinterestFacebookSHEER SKIRTS: An extended hemline may suffice on the runway, like it did at Chlo\u00E9 for spring 2011, but the real world requires real coverage. I&amp;#39;ve found that the best solution for this is simply another skirt. Make your sheer layer a maxi, and add a more fitted mini underneath. If you opt for a striped skirt under a light color outer layer, it adds a really cool layer of depth to your outfit. Oh, and confession: I&amp;#39;ve totally used a stretchy tube top around my waist in a pinch, and it works like a charm!__\nMore Forever 21...\nPinterestFacebookSHEER DRESSES: Things get a bit more complicated when it comes to dresses. Alberta Ferretti&amp;#39;s models may be comfortable sporting glorified skivvies under their sheer frocks, but I&amp;#39;ve got a much better secret weapon to prevent against overexposure: Gap Body&amp;#39;s nightgowns! They&amp;#39;re about the simplest undergarments you can buy, and they come in all of your basic neutrals--plus they&amp;#39;re as comfortable as all get-out. If you don&amp;#39;t want to invest in one, pair a plain cotton cami with a matching skirt, or wear your favorite convertible all-in-one dress as a strapless:\nMore Victoria&amp;#39;s Secret...\nPinterestFacebookPHOTO:                                                       SHEER BLOUSES: This is the easiest category to wear, so if you&amp;#39;re timid about the sheer trend, start here. Valentino&amp;#39;s models left little to the imagination, but we&amp;#39;ve got modesty to protect, which is why I&amp;#39;m obsessed with American Apparel&amp;#39;s bandeau tops for this purpose. There&amp;#39;s no mistaking them for lingerie, and they come in a gajillion different colors, which can be fun to mix and match (sheer beige top + neon pink bandeau = brilliance!). I&amp;#39;ll also let you in on a little secret here--sometimes your bandeau-style swimsuit tops can be just as useful! Shh, don&amp;#39;t tell a soul...\nMore BDG...\nWhat do you think, ladies?
