Sheer Clothing Is Taking Over NYFW: Shop Affordable Styles

E! Illustration/Reformation & ASOS

This NYFW, we want to see it all! Whether you're walking the runway or getting stopped for street-style shoots, everyone is wearing sheer clothing. Tops, skirts, dresses, and pants with lightweight and see-through fabrics have never been so in. 

People are into the contrast with these styles. Whether it's paired with a high neckline and maxi length or styled with underwear that clearly stands out as underwear, everything is what the fashion girls want to show off (and to see). 

Luckily, you don't have to go designer for this trend. There are plenty of affordable options for those inclined not to hide behind solid fabric. We have everything, including under-$30 styles that could easily pass for something plucked from the runway.
