Sheer Genius - How to Go Sheer for Spring/Summer

A hot item for spring/summer is sheer chiffon. It comes in many styles and is popular in neons and nudes like below:
    


They're breezy and flow-y and forgiving and look great on all body types. These tops do pose a problem as to what to wear underneath. True, wearing only a bra at night in dim light may protect your modesty just fine, but for day time and for the more conservative persons out there, there are better options than your plain old bra.

1.  The Bralette: This is an extended version of a bra - if a bra and a tank top had a baby this would be it:
                                                    








 2. The Bustier: This is great for larger-chested ladies that need the support. The great thing about these are that they are usually the best option for off the shoulder tops because of that great support, and the fact that once a bustier fits you properly it doesn't move for hours makes this a consistent go-to:
                                              
 3. The Bandeau top: These look prettiest when they are peaking out from somewhere - whether at the back or at neckline or under a sleeve. They are ultra-feminine in lace but be make sure the bandeau is not sheer itself or your attempt at being modest would've backfired:
                                               

That's it! If you want a tutorial on how to make a bralette or a bandeau top email me or leave a comment below.
