For those who love the bohemian style, white, a symbol of purity, pairs beautifully with this trend. If you love wearing white, you’ve probably encountered a challenge: transparency, as white tends to highlight the other colours you wear underneath. This is especially true if your white garment is made from a light, fine fabric.
The question often arises: "What to wear under a sheer white dress?" Well, we've broken down some tips for you.
1. A see-through dress? There's always a solution!
a. The dress is only see-through at the bottom.
What if you wore a petticoat? It might sound a bit old-fashioned and not very glamorous, but who will notice it besides you?
To achieve this, it's important that the dress has some thickness. Also, pay attention to the length. If your dress is long, adjust the slip accordingly. It should at least reach your knees so that you are comfortable, and it must also be the right size—neither too loose nor too tight—so that you feel free to move.
If, on the other hand, your white dress is short, the underskirt should not hang down too low as it can look "untidy". If you only have a long underskirt, don't worry! You can pull it up to your bust.
If you don't have a petticoat, you can get a fitted bodysuit or white leggings.
b. The dress is also see-through at the top
A white bra or body suit will do the trick. It will eliminate the bra line.
c. Is the dress extremely sheer, perhaps a bit see-through?
You can pair it with a white nightdress as well. This will give it a touch of elegance.
Just a heads up, while wearing white underneath your dress might seem perfect, the seams and the outline will be visible. We recommend opting for nude or beige shades, as they will blend better with the fabric.
In summer, to prevent your thighs from chafing due to tight leggings, you might consider wearing a pair of shorts under your white dress if it’s short, or a loose pair of bermuda shorts if the dress is long.
2. What to Avoid When Wearing a Sheer White Dress.
Avoid lace underwear or bows, as these can be seen even through a lined white dress. In lingerie shops, there are skin-toned underwear options available, which have no elastic and won't leave marks. White clothing tends to be see-through and can also reveal the seams of underwear, making your silhouette stand out more!
Additionally, if you choose to wear just a bra, opt for wide straps and, if possible, select one with balconette cups to enhance your bust.
One last detail: If your dress has an open back, it wouldn’t be stylish to wear a bra. Instead, opt for one that fastens around the neck and tuck your hair down over it. This will look much more discreet.
