One
of the best parts of heading back to school is working all of your summer
favorites into your fall wardrobe. Sheer
pieces are fab for school, since they’re totally easy to layer and tend to be a
little nicer than your average tank.
Just make sure when you’re rockin’ this trend that you don’t break any
dress code rules at your school—no one looks cute after getting stuck in
detention.
Sheer beauty
Tossing
on a silky sheer top is a great way to dress up a pair of casual shorts. This peach color is practically a neutral, so
you can throw in a patterned pair to spice things up. Tuck your shirt into these tribal print shorts,
and rock this for class while the weather is still warm or throw on some black
tights when the fall chill sets in!

Sheer chicness
Sheer
is definitely not a retro trend, but that doesn’t mean you can’t channel the
good ole days with a simple chambray shirt and midi skirt. The miniskirt lining and longer overlay lets
you show off your fab legs, but keeps ya covered enough for any school dress
code. Plus, the super floaty chiffon
keeps this denim shirt lookin’ girly.
Finish off the look with a modern twist on a bow (like these earrings)
and some cute, patterned flats.
Sheer brilliance
This
play on a tank top and jeans is perfect for history class with that new
cutie. This shirt gives ya a little
extra coverage: The overlapping layers make the middle of the shirt much less
see-through. Pair it with a flirty and
flouncy denim skater skirt and toss on a cardi. A bright headband and metallic
shoes complete the girly look. Pretty!
Sheer sweetness
Who
knew a shirt could transform black jeans into something downright girly? This flirty floral top is delicate enough for
any girly girl, but you can pair it with a pair of tough wedges to keep you
lookin’ cool. Since the pattern is so
crazy, keep your accessories pretty simple.
A flower ring accents your shirt without being overpowering. This look is casual enough to wear to school,
but def nice enough if you’re dressin’ to impress: Try it on a day when you
have a big presentation.
