Much to our chagrin, there are certain trends that seem to really hang in there. That especially applies to the no pants craze Miu Miu helped initiate a few seasons back. As a direct ramification, the prevalence of sheer skirts extended to the stratosphere. Sure, you can layer something underneath, but that means you already have to have that layer in your closet. Or invest in two pieces at once. There is another option, however. Shopping for partially sheer skirts.
Basically, we're talking about see-through skirts with some kind of modesty accent. Whether that be in the form of a shorter skirt, shorts or even briefs. Their addition increases the comfort level quite a few notches, making it easier to indulge in the ongoing phenomenon without showing too much.
These more demure alternatives are available in a range of lengths. Almost micro skirts become miniskirts with that extra coverage. Midi skirts are by far the most common. Although there's still lots of diversity as silhouettes play with the proportions of the sheer sections. Take Brunello Cucinelli's entry that only supplies a small sheer area above the ankles. While FRAME's stark creation would qualify as a miniskirt if measuring stopped at the end of the solid part.
The spectrum of colors available is impressive. Softer shades like pale blues, pastel peaches and pinks along with light apple green are seasonally-appropriate. Bright whites are also popular. Don't sleep on primary hues, though. Classic ruby red and navy really play up the dichotomy of the category. Or opt for patterns/prints via Jason Wu Collection's arty asymmetric silk organza skirt or Mango's floral embroidered design.
