Even if you’re up for a daring fashion moment with Dua Lipa-style cuts and thigh-high slits, not everyone is comfortable baring it all in flimsy apparel. However, we live in an era where exposing costumes don’t have to be risqué; they may be fun and playful while boosting confidence without a promiscuous undertone. It all comes down to understanding what to wear beneath transparent apparel, which may help make see-through garments appear and feel more subtle, rather than over-the-top.
According to internationally known celebrity stylist Danyul Brown, transparent apparel may have a place in any wardrobe — even modest ones — with the correct undergarments and base layers.
Here are some tips for you:

Bike shorts
Whether it’s a short transparent dress or a long maxi design, choose a pair of close-fitting stretch cotton shorts in the same or opposing color as the dress.
Oversized shirt
This unique technique offers your see-through clothing a fresh appearance and makes it hyper-opaque. Our advice: make sure the dress is always longer than the shirt below it, and that the latter is either the same color as the dress or plainly contrasting.
Leggings
Wearing leggings under a see-through dress not only disguises it, but also transforms it into a whole other outfit. This is a great way to wear your favorite transparent dress more frequently, even throughout the day. What is the secret? The style is completed by black leggings, which emphasize the contrast with the translucent garment.
Slip dress
The layering tip that will never go out of style? The blunder! The grandmother’s must-have is one of the easiest and most adaptable designs to wear over a clear dress.
Underwear that matches
Wear similar underwear beneath your gown to really embrace the transparent dress trend. Keep things as basic and opaque as possible, and try to avoid wearing a G-string unless you’re Kendall Jenner at the Met Gala
Under Sheer Tops
Fitted tanks or lingerie (such as a lacy bra or a sports bra) are typically the best selections for a see-through shirt.
The base garment [under transparent tops] actually changes depending on the vibe we’re looking for and if the top has a lot of intricacy. We advises sticking to simple undergarments — nude bras or tank tops — if the top is complex, so the adornment (think fringe, bows, or sequins) can have its time. If the top is merely sheer with no detailing, I prefer to add interest and intricacy by wearing a brightly colored undergarment.
Under Sheer Bottoms
We emphasizes the need of refinement while designing see-through pants. High-waisted briefs are the stylist’s go-to since the undergarment entirely covers your stomach and bottom.
Sheer bottoms, like wearing the appropriate undergarments, may elevate your ensemble to new heights.
Under Sheer Dresses
What you wear underneath a transparent dress depends on how much coverage you desire.
A high-waisted brief is a frequent go-to. This bottom option guarantees that your lower half is covered while yet teasing a considerable bit of flesh.
We also offers a mid-thigh bodysuit for much more coverage: “It’s a terrific choice as it will create extra excitement, structure to the ensemble, and is a more fashion oriented decision.”
Of course, if you’re not sure what to wear on top, a bralette or even a plain cami would suffice.
