The Essential Underwear Styles for the Sheer Layering Look

23 February 2023

Looking at the catwalk shows for Spring Summer 23, one of the biggest trends we saw coming through was see-through clothing / sheer laying.

It is not just on the catwalks we are seeing this trend, but also celebrities with the likes of Rita Ora, the Jenner sisters and more loving the transparency style. Now the key formula to create the perfect sheer layering look, is having the correct underwear, ideally seamless styles. So here is a little guide on how to slay what will be one of the biggest SS23 trends.

Seamless Black Underwear

Seamless Black Underwear seems to be everywhere right now. Whether you are like Camila Mendes at NYFW braving lingerie as outerwear, or using it to help with your sheer layering style as seen on the Lavin, Chanel and Miu Miu catwalks below. There is no escaping it, you need this style of lingerie now!

Looking at google search trends there has been an increase in the last year for high waisted knickers by 58% and in the last 30 days google search trends are showing +36% for high waisted knickers. Now looking at the catwalks these style knickers are essential in pulling off the sheer layering look. You can always trust on black underwear for a classic, monochrome look, whilst still having a sexy style. Remember in a recent YouGov survey we ran, where the UK voted black as the sexiest colour. Below our our top picks:

Tights as Trousers Trend

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are some of the biggest and most influential trendsetters out there. So when we saw them a few weeks ago supporting tights as trousers we knew we had to share with you the best way to recreate this look.

Let’s start with the basics; a quality pair of tights. You can do no wrong with this pair of high-waisted, simple 40-denier tights. The best base for layering your tights-no-trousers look. Now the next key element is pairing this ensemble with high-coverage knickers. Wanting Kendall's style then the bonded high waisted briefs above are the ones. However if you are loving Kylie's style with kickers on the outside, then we have the perfect alternative, with our Nell High Leg Boxer brief in White.

Go Bright and Bold

Wanting to go for a more bold and daring look, then why not add some bright colours to your seamless underwear. At the Molly Goddard SS23 Show as seen below, models were wearing striped colour underwear to complete their sheer layering look.

Now we may not have striped underwear, but we do have some bright trend worthy green and cobalt blue seamless sets, that would work perfectly for those who dare to go bold!
