Do balance revealing pieces with covered-up ones, like Kerry Washington’s skirt.
Don’t show a lot of skin at the same time. Sheer + bare = TMI.
Experiment with sheer prints

Photo: Christopher Peterson/Buzzfoto/FilmMagic.com Do know black lace is the easiest sheer fabric to wear. Or try gray or navy, as Blake Lively and Mia Wasikowska did.Don’t sport head-to-toe white lace unless you’re familiar with the lyrics to “Like a Virgin.” Ecru and ivory are better options for nonbridal moments.Try a long-sleeve chiffon blouse
