Frames of decency: rules for creating an image with things that shine through
If you are not a pop star, and a transparent outfit is not part of your stage costume, the purpose of which is to shock others:
- Think carefully about whether you should wear such clothes. She will not hide, but will only emphasize all the flawsif your figure is far from perfect or, for example, your skin is sagging due to age-related changes;

What underwear should I wear with them?
It all depends on the type of thing that is translucent.
Under a chiffon blouse or shirt It would be most appropriate to wear a T-shirt with thin straps or a top of the same color. The lining material should be sufficient, but not too dense, and match the texture of the top. If you decide to wear a bra, choose not “a line here and a line there”, but models that are tight-fitting and emphasize the silhouette: closed cups, wide straps. No lace or bows – there will be too much accents. In terms of color, there are two win-win options: either to match the outfit, or flesh-colored, matching the skin tone.
For dress with a cutout in the back area draped with mesh, purchase a special bra extension. It will allow you to hide the hated stripe that crosses the translucent cutout and spoils the look.
For the neckline Suitable bra designs for the chest:
- with low cup fastening due to a wide belt with a cutout in the front;
- with a barely noticeable silicone strap connecting the cups.
Transparent bottom skirts or trousers It is recommended to wear only for very slender girls with smooth, toned skin without fat deposits. Can be combined with leggings, short shorts or matching panties with a high waist that completely covers the buttocks.
Tricks to use in ensembles
- Ladies with curvy figures should limit themselves to transparent inserts that reveal the neckline or part of the back.You can expose your legs below the knee if they are smooth and slender in these places, which is possible even with a wide waist and hips.
- Under an opaque buttoned vest or jacket, a see-through blouse will look quite decent even in the office.
- Several layers of light clothing look good. It is preferable to choose a top transparent layer from a fabric that does not wrinkle too much to avoid the effect of sloppiness.
Important! Pay attention to the quality of materials - they must be natural, breathable, so that you feel comfortable and do not harm your own health.
How to choose a cover, petticoat and other similar elements?
On any figure transparent skirts will look good with a petticoat, and dresses with a sheath. A petticoat is the best option, suitable for a transparent skirt, hiding all body flaws. It will not expose too much and will look decent even in an office set.
For a straight model made of guipure or lace, a petticoat is required without fail. If the figure allows, its length can be significantly shorter than the skirt itself, but must cover the space from the waist to the hips. A lush or flowing model made of chiffon or organza will also not be harmed by his company.
The cover under a transparent dress is better fitted, but not tight - this will add femininity to the image. You don’t have to cover your arms or the lower part of your legs, but it’s better to cover your torso (chest, stomach and thighs).
