Look away. Or don't. See-through styles have hopped off the runway and into the real world. They range from open-weave crochet dresses and sheer fabrics to outright transparent materials. Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa and Rihanna have worn them at red-carpet events. Victoria Beckham's Mango collab featured a few (They're almost sold out in India). There are sheer dresses even at Zara.
Yes, it's weird. No, it's not going away. So, how to stay on-trend without going practically naked? Celebrity stylists Jainee Bheda, who has styled Rohit Saraf, Aditi Rao Hydari and Kusha Kapila; Saachi Vijaywargia, who styled Karishma Tanna and Virat Kohli, and owns @boutiquobysaachi; and Mansi Monga Trehan, who has styled Mary Kom and Mandira Bedi, make some ground rules clear.
