100 Stunning Sheer Designs

From Enchanted Ethereal Editorials to Delicate Avian Couture

— January 23, 2012 — Fashion
If you want to show off a little bit of skin but don't want to delve into the risque world of plunging necklines and miniskirts, then this gallery of hot sheer designs is just the thing for you.

Sheer panels are a great way to add a soft, subtle touch of sexiness to your outfit while still remaining a bit on the conservative side. If you want to really step up your look, though, there are certainly edgier options when it comes to sheer paneling. Take the now infamous provocative Stella McCartney polka dot dress, for instance. The dress was seen on countless celebrities and model on red carpets and fashion editorials last season, from Kate Winslet to Kate Hudson and even Jane Fonda.

Check out this gallery of sheer designs and get inspired to go sheer!
