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.

Violet Grey Launches Perfume Label With $1,100 Fragrance
Violet Grey, the Los Angeles-based retailer known for its high-gloss creative, has quietly debuted a fragrance label called Madame Grey, offering a $100 hair perfume and limited-edition $1,100 Extrait de Parfum. The Extrait, nosed by perfumer Jérôme Epinette, is housed in a limited run of 1100 'handcrafted' glass flagons, according to its description on Madame Grey's direct to consumer website, which quietly appeared this month. The scent is advertised as a 'transfixing ode to the one that got away' on Madame Grey's website, where it's available for pre-order, but no scent profile information is provided. The fragrance is also distilled into a hair mist, Pour Cheveux Strip-Tease available now for $100. A hair mist, featuring a less concentrated version of the Extrait scent, is available for $100. (Madame Grey) The website also announced the Madame Grey Estate, a space on New York's Upper East Side described as the 'studio and private art collection of creative director Cassandra Grey.' The space will be open from June 2 through 7, and will culminate in an auction of fine jewelry and objêt from the likes of Cartier and Fabergé, alongside a bottle of the Extrait de Parfum. Violet Grey was founded in 2013 by Cassandra Grey, a stylist and marketer who is credited with helping launch brands like Augustinus Bader on the strength of her network and editorial perspective. Farfetch purchased Violet Grey in 2022 to build its budding beauty division, an aim it later abandoned; Grey purchased the retailer back from Farfetch in fall 2024 with the private equity investor Sherif Guirgis, who became co-owner and chief executive. Since then, Violet Grey has expanded east, opening a shop-in-shop at Long Island department store Hirshleifers, and will open its Madison Avenue boutique in June. Despite only recently appearing, Madame Grey has been in the works for some time. The brand's associated Instagram account, @madamegrey_parfum, has steadily posted moodboard imagery including Guy Bourdin photographs and midcentury interior design objects since 2019.
