The Unexpected 2026 Trend Fashionable People Are Already Reaching for Regardless of Freezing Winter Weather
Sheer fashion is nothing new but the latest resurgence of the trend has officially grabbed my attention, and not for the reason you might think. Having worked in fashion for well over a decade, not to mention being chronically online, I'm not fazed when seeing a skin-baring look on an influencer, celebrity or model—It's the naked dressing during such cold temperatures that really gets me. In fact, Jennifer Lawrence recently stepped out on a cold night in Paris wearing sheer black top with jeans.
Anyway, I was intrigued and inspired to set out to find all the chic sheer options available right now. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of standout sheer tops, skirts, dresses, and other opions. Many are easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion. I purchased a couple of my favorites, including this cardigan, but I definitely plan on waiting until spring to start incorporating them into my outfit rotation. Keep scrolling to shop the best of the best sheer pieces to wear in 2026.
