The Street Style Trick for Bridging the Fashion Gap Between Summer and Fall

Saying goodbye to summer is never easy. Packing away all those newly acquired cutoffs, logo-clad tank tops and sandals is almost enough to make you tear up. Of course, fall brings with it a whole new slew of fashion finds. Although before we get there we must navigate that not-so-sweet spot between summer and fall that's too warm for sweaters yet too cool for shorts. Here's where sheer pants come to the rescue.

See-through bottoms have long been street style staples. They let you show a little leg while helping keep your legs (somewhat) warm. The level of exposure varies. Some pairs look like shorts with see-through extensions. Others are designed as beach coverups that require wearing a swimsuit underneath. This is the time to be grateful you kept all those previously trending bike shorts.

Still afraid they're a tad too revealing? Have no fear. All that's required is a little strategic thinking. Like bringing lampshading back by slipping a longer tee and jacket on top. Over-the-knee boots optional. Problem stylishly solved.
