There’s something alluring about wearing something sheer but it’s always tricky trying to figure out how to style it while still maintaining your modesty. Unless the designer has already thought of it for you, of course. Such is the case with this gorgeous Willow blouse. The built in panel is perfect as it maintains the sheer effect without having to fuss around trying to figure out what you’re going to wear underneath. It also makes for the ideal top to pair with tailored pants, as the flash of skin helps break up the dark colours and avoids the entire ensemble from looking too heavy. Also if you don’t have a pair already, definitely invest in a pair of dark slacks. They’re on point this season and can be worn out to dinner to an event or a day in the office. It’s definitely the kind of style that’s extremely versatile and worth the investment.
Shoes are always a key consideration when you’re working an outfit the works with dark hues as you need a hit of lightness. A closed shoe in black may have been a little too heavy for this, so I went for a pair of strappy Bottega Veneta heels instead. The straps and open style add an element of interest and the fact you can see some skin, much like the blouse avoids this look from being a little too dark. A quilted Chanel bag is always a welcome addition to any look, and adds a sophisticated finishing touch.
