The Art of Naked Dressing In Everyday Style

From the red carpet to real life, sheer layers are my new go-to.

POSTED BY GRETCHEN DEUTSCH

Recently, red carpets have been featuring skin-revealing, glamazon gowns that have left both the use of fabrics and our jaws on the floor. The Naked Dress trend has long been reinventing itself and, now, is at its peak. 

I’ll never stop thinking about Zoe Kravitz’s 2021 Met Gala Saint Laurent look, and I’m sure no one will be forgetting about Chappell Roan’s sheer nipple-ring Grammy’s ensemble anytime soon. Nudity, in this context, isn’t about shock value–it’s about power, celebrating the female body, and feeling limitless.

The celebrities can wear next to nothing on the runway, but how can we incorporate naked dressing into our wardrobes? 
Thankfully, we’re leaning into sheer, breathable fabrics this season. Despite this being the  “naked trend,” our looks are channeling a subtle sensuality just by adding a touch of see-through. 

Sheer layers aren’t about complexity; they are a single, simple layer that elevates a classic outfit to a whole other sexy level. And, the best part is that this light layering tactic is perfect for spring weather.  

To steer clear of actually being naked walking down the street, it’s all about balance. We’re wearing sheer layers over already done ensembles

Sheer midi skirts will only have a thin layer of fabric where it counts. And, paired with a structured tee or bomber jacket, these skirts become the perfect combination of breezy, sexy, and wearable. Sheer dresses can be worn over jeans, adding a touch of nakedness despite being fully clothed. 


Right now, the best trend is your style—and if you want to ease into the look, my Fizzypicks are full of sheer, layered pieces that do all the revealing in the chicest way possible.
