If sheer dresses make you
think of Z-list reality stars in a
see-through mini tumbling into
their 3am Uber outside the club –
think again. The grown-up way to
wear one is loose and billowing
with modest layers. For evening,
all that’s required is a pretty slip
worn underneath, sculptural heels
and a structured bag for added
polish. Dress, £35, River Island. Slip
(worn underneath), £12, Papaya.
Earrings, £216, Alex Monroe at
Liberty. Shoes, £180, Kurt Geiger.
Bag, £35.99, MangoGirlie but laid-back, dressy but casual- how does blogger Leandra Medine
manage to be all things at once? By
layering her tulle skirt over skinnies
(see previous page re: volume),
and balancing feminine heels with
a slouchy jumper. A novelty clutch ties
this outfit together with clever use of
colour. Jumper, £18, Next. Dress, £20,
Glamorous.com. Jeans, £46, Topshop.
Bag, £65, I Know The Queen. Watch, £50,
Daisy-dixon.com. Shoes, £49.99, Zara
A chic-but-comfy look that
transitions effortlessly from day to
night? Sign us up. Smart tailored
trousers are a fresh teammate for
dresses – just be sure they’re slim
at the ankle rather than flared.
A rollneck in the same shade as
your trousers creates a sleek base
layer. For a sexy evening look, try
cami knickers and a silk camisole.
Dress, £180, Ukulelefashion.com.
