I’ve never been a fan of revealing clothing. It looks tacky to me- and now that I’m a bit older, it’s even less appealing. But I still like the look of wearing sheer on top. But in a non-scary way!
I’ve got two options for wearing sheer. The first- COS merino wool tops. Also available in turtleneck. It’s just a bit sheer, and less so in the darker colors. And it’s a great base layer under cardigans, so you get a bit of sheer without worrying about how pretty your bra is. $69- not a scary price at all.
If you want to go a bit more luxe and old school, there’s the Hanro woolen silk underwear- long sleeve, short sleeve, leggings. A bit more traditional long underwear vibe. But expensive- $140+. Still, I grabbed one on sale and it’s truly lovely. A tad less sheer than the COS option, but it feels terrific on your skin.
One thing to note about these tops is that they go fast, at the beginning of the Fall season. Uniqlo has a very reasonably priced option– but there are no sizes left. Wearing sheer seems to be a perennial favorite- and those in the know snap up the standards way before it gets cold.
