If there’s one thing to hold on to this season, it’s a key piece in sheer. Burberry chose to give it a summer update with pastel hues seen on skirts and jackets, while Giambattista Valli and Dior chose black bases with striking sheer panels. Two ways to work your see-through piece: either layer bold pieces under it or over (think jackets). This is one look that goes from boho chic to cocktail party with ease.

Day: For brunch, top off the sheer dress with a floral jacket. Pick a pair of minimalist leather flats and an earthy-toned bucket bag to make the look more casual. Keep it relaxed with layered antique silver rings and simple silver hoops.
