What’s Naturally Sexy for Fall & Winter Evening Outfits? How About Sheer Blouses

Sheer clothing is a big deal in this year’s fashion. You might wonder, “But sheer blouses for Fall and Winter? Isn’t that for Spring when it’s warm outside?!” Well, there are ways to wear sheer blouses that don’t leave you shivering or feeling exposed. For instance, there’s layering. Also, there are certain colors and textures that work perfectly for the cold seasons. And then finally, even though you’ll be revealing your sexy self, you can do so in a way that is above all alluring. So when it comes down to it, if your outfit is tasteful, age doesn’t matter. Let’s take a look at some of the many ways to wear sheer blouses in our Fall & Winter evening outfits.

Fall & Winter Evenings:  Sheer Blouses

This Chiffon Sheer Floral Shirt from Chico’s in a black print only shows a hint of what’s under.

This shirt is a beautiful evening piece but isn’t too revealing. Let’s just call it romantic! Crocodile-embossed leather crops add a second hint of sexiness, along with a casual edge.

Fall & Winter Colors

Vanetta Velvet Top from Soft Surroundings with jeans for a casual evening out

This Vanetta Top from Soft Surroundings in burnout velvet is perfect to stay warm and look special during the cold seasons. In jewel green, it can go from Fall to Winter, including the Holidays. The billowy sleeves are subtly sheer. Add pretty gold jewelry for added elegance.

Rather than list all the Fall and Winter Colors here, I’d like to direct you to my related posts for the full spectrum. Simply click on the following topics to see all the colors:  “How to Combine the New Fall/Winter Fashion Colors Now,” “How to Wear the Popular Earth Tones for Fall and Winter” and “How to Dress in the Colors of Winter.”

Winter white is a new classic Fall and Winter color, especially when combined in contrasting textures. For more on wearing white after Labor Day, see “It’s Still Winter:  So How to Wear White When It’s Cold Outside?”  

IC Collection Sheer Mesh Crew Neck 3/4 Sleeve Knit Top from Dillard’s over a column of black

We all know black always goes with everything. It follows that a column of black (black top and bottom) are great to wear as a foundation under sheer tops. See more tips in “Style Tip of the Day:  How to Beautify Black Lace,” and “How to Make All Black or All White Look Special.”  

For Another All-Black Look, try:  A sheer black blouse and camisole or tank + black velvet or velour pants.  You may want to add a black scarf around your neck.

Outfit Formula:  A sheer blouse + a matching color cotton camisole + matching color slim pants.

Red and magenta are trending for Fall/Winter 2023. Burgundy, wine and maroon are always a good choice for the cold seasons.  For more information on these colors, see my posts “What Is the #1 Color of the Year for 2023? Viva Magenta!”  and “Why Is Red the Most Brilliant Color Choice for Fall Fashion?”

Layering

First off, you’ll likely want to layer a tank or camisole under your sheer top. But for lots more ideas for layering during Fall and Winter, see my post on “How to Look Great in the Cold? Layer Up!”  

Outfit Idea:  A sheer blouse over a matching color lace top, a dark or colored camisole, a black bra, or a black or red tank top.  Add bottoms of choice.

Some ideas for what to add on top of your sheer blouse are:  a jacket, a hoodie, a cardigan, a kimono or duster. You might even want to warm it up with a sweater over it with the collar, cuffs and/or hem peeking out.

For casual evenings:  Wear a sheer blouse with jeans or a denim skirt. You might like to add a topper.

Easy Evenings:  A black hoodie cardigan + a sheer black blouse + black or gray trousers.  You may want to tuck in the blouse and add an embellished belt.

  • Years ago, I had a sheer black lace short sleeve top. I loved it! Now, I have a lined black sheer top with sheer dotted flutter sleeves that works well in the warmer weather. So many of the tops that you show are tops I could wear because the bodice is lined

    • Yes, I was trying to give examples of sheer blouses that allow for the concept that age doesn’t matter. Also, it’s cold in the Fall & Winter so I for one want to stay warm. That’s why the feature photo shows burnout velvet. Sheer sleeves are great at any age. And I’ve worn short-sleeve lace tops during Christmases past without catching a chill. If it’s cool, a pashmina or shawl can be warm and glamorous with lace. Thank you for reaching out! XO, Angie
