What to Wear Under Sheer Clothing Without Compromising Your Look

Sheer dresses and see-through tops are fashion-forward, flirty, and surprisingly versatile. But figuring out what to wear underneath without ruining the aesthetic can be tricky. Here's how to stay confident and polished in even the most transparent styles.

1. Nipple Covers Are a Must

Skip the bulky bra — skin-tone silicone nipple covers offer seamless coverage and a natural shape. They stay hidden under mesh, chiffon, or organza fabrics.

2. Layer Smartly

Pair sheer blouses with matching bralettes, bandeaus, or body suits. If you're wearing a sheer dress, opt for shapewear that blends with your skin or adds contrast for intentional layering.

3. Keep It Balanced

If your top is sheer, keep the bottom half grounded — think jeans, trousers, or a-line skirts. For sheer dresses, minimal accessories and sleek hair work best.

4. Go Monochrome

Wearing the same color underneath a sheer piece makes the outfit look intentional rather than exposed. Match your underlayer to the fabric or your skin tone for a cohesive vibe.

Styling see-through fashion doesn’t have to mean overexposure — just strategy and the right underlayers.
