Risqué sheer skirts are taking over the cool girls' wardrobes—here's how to wear them
Getty She's not new, but she's sneaking back in with fresh moves. That barely-there skirt—audacious and borderline risqué—can low-key slide into subtle territory too. Maybe that's the magic of it. One moment it's scandalous, the next it's lowkey chic. So why are sheer skirts still holding court? Maybe because it refuses to pick a side. It's as audacious as it is adaptable, teasing modesty while serving just the right amount of drama. On the spring/summer 2025 runways, it made its presence known in more ways than one: at Fendi, it was styled down with a soft, slouchy top—effortless and casual; while at Hermès, it leaned tailored and precise, layered over shorts and topped with a matching bomber that felt sleek and urbane. Two ends of the spectrum, same core piece. Fendi spring/summer 2025 Umberto Fratini Hermès spring/summer 2025 Daniele Oberrauch Off the runway, the styling game has no limits. You'll see it over shorts, skirts, even pants. Sometimes tied around the waist like a last-minute afterthought that somehow pulls the whole look together. Dua Lipa, for instance, flipped the script on the not-so-office-friendly cream skirt, throwing an oversized coat over a sleek bodysuit. Rihanna wearing a dark lace rendition, paired with an oversized navy blue bomber jacket. @shotbyjuliann Dua Lipa putting a business casual spin on the piece—styling it with an oversized coat. @dualipa And Rihanna proved her baby bump is no limitation—if anything, it's unlocking new chapters in her fashion playbook. The queen of style stepped out in a dark lace version, paired with a navy bomber and a stunning diamond necklace. And of course, K-pop it girl Jennie is no stranger to the trend. Her airport look featured a sheer piece with a jagged hemline, layered over shorts and paired with a cosy checked flannel and brown suede jacket. The crowd's favourite move for sheer skirts? Layering. Over or under, sometimes both—just enough to hint at what's underneath. Go tonal or clash textures—lace over cotton, sheer over denim—for that extra pop of texture and surprise. Below, peruse the myriad ways to work this risqué little wildcard into your wardrobe. @dualipa 1 / 22 Not so business casual: Dua Lipa Oversized coat? Check. Sheer skirt? Also check. This look says, 'I mean business'—but the kind that comes with dinner plans on the side. Don't forget a statement bag and matching stilettos to seal the vibe—playful and structured on top, translucent below.

From sheer skirts over shorts or pants, to loosely tied versions around the waist—there's something unexpectedly textured and cool about layering. Fabric choice matters, too: a stiffer mesh adds structure, while gauzy renditions reads romantic. Courtesy of Farfetch 6 / 22 Layer it on: Marc Le Bihan skirt, $2,645 Available at Farfetch.

Getty 9 / 22 The cosy brief: Jennie Throw on some oversized outerwear and let the sheer do its thing. This take makes the trend feel lived-in and low-stakes—ideal for errands, coffee runs, or even just leaning into the I-woke-up-like-this energy.

Getty 14 / 22 Tactile play: Anya Taylor-Joy Summer is flirting with textures this season, and crochet and lace are totally here for it. A crochet skirt can be your outfit's showstopper or the subtle anchor that quietly holds everything together. Either way, it's a tactile twist that adds depth and dimension to your whole look. Courtesy of Farfetch 15 / 22 Tactile play: Nanushka crochet skirt, $295 Available at Farfetch. Courtesy of Ssense 16 / 22 Tactile play: Dion Lee top, $510 Available at Ssense. Getty 17 / 22 Touch of glitz: Kim Hye-Jun If subtle isn't your thing, sheer skirts with embellishments are made for you. Think sequins, gems, or a hint of glitter—perfect for late-night dinners, rooftop parties, or anywhere you want to sparkle without trying too hard. Courtesy of Farfetch 18 / 22 Touch of glitz: Simone Rocha skirt, $1,303 Available at Farfetch. Courtesy of Valentino 19 / 22 Touch of glitz: Valentino Garavani sweater, $1,380 Available at Valentino. Getty 20 / 22 Leather code: Kate Hudson Boho might be creeping back, but this time with a little bite. Pair your sheer skirt with leather—belts, boots, or jackets—for a look that feels both romantic and rough around the edges.

Here's everything you should stream in June
In the blink of the eye, we're already halfway through the year. As June rolls around, the entertainment scene is heating up, with a slate of exciting releases all queued up and ready to go. It seems as though every fan-favourite series is coming back this month, and the first on our list is, of course, the third season of Squid Game . Despite being devastated by the loss of his friend, Gi-hun has no choice but to press on as the Front Man plots his next move. The deadly games must continue, as the final chapter brings the most-watched Netflix series of all time to a close. Next Up: the return of The Bear . With our favourite team of chefs back in the kitchen, Season 4 is all about deciding what is worth hanging on to. As Sydney deliberates whether to stay at the restaurant or to take up Adam's offer to be his new chef de cuisine, Carmy will have to figure out a way for the restaurant to start making a profit soon—especially in the aftermath of The Chicago Tribune's review. As for other options to consider? There's Apple TV+'s spunky period drama The Buccaneers, which sees Leighton Meester joining the cast for Season 2. There's also the return of Ginny and Georgia , which picks up after Georgia was arrested for murder at her own wedding last season. Below, find our full curation of shows to watch this June—all available on popular streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+ and Apple TV+.
