Mesh Is The New Sheer For 2024 Trends - Our Tips To Wear It Right
The sheer trend is getting less racy for 2024, transitioning from super-see-through pieces to more translucent mesh options. "Although mesh, fishnet, and sheer fabrics have been on the trend cycle for some time now, it wasn't until Proenza Schouler's S/S 24 runway that I felt like the trend could be very wearable and approachable," Yusra Siddiqui, an associate fashion editor, told Who What Wear.
If you were intrigued by the prominent sheer fashion trend in 2023 but didn't feel comfortable wearing such transparent pieces, 2024 is an excellent time to experiment with more versatile mesh. After all, mesh garments look just as gorgeous as tops, dresses, and even shoes. Fitting any style from fancy to edgy and casual-chic, everyone should consider rocking the mesh look. Luckily, fashion TikToker @secrretgarden posted a video showing various ways to style a black mesh top, showing viewers how well the garment paired with leather pants, skirts, and jeans for different vibes. Are you ready to explore the mesh look, too?
Rock a sexy or playful mesh dress
Anyone intrigued by the idea of wearing semi-sheer dresses but doesn't want something quite as see-through as the naked dress should experiment with mesh dresses instead. While not as revealing as full-on sheer options, mesh dresses provide a powerfully provocative appearance, especially in black and other dark colors. Meanwhile, mesh dresses look super playful and fun-loving in light hues or bright and colorful options.
Mesh tops are stunning
Mesh tops are some of the most stylish and convenient garments for anyone who wants to start exploring the mesh look. Whether you wear minimalistic mesh tops or ones with unique patterns or colors, these pieces are ultra-chic. If you want a more modest look, wear it over a cami or tank, but if you plan to appear slightly more seductive, try wearing just a bra or bralette underneath.
Have fun with mesh pants
Are you looking for bold, unconventional pants to steal the spotlight on your next night out? Mesh pants will make a statement every time, providing a more unpredictable look than the classic mesh top. To take the daring energy even further, opt for mesh pants covered in sparkly details and pair them with a bralette top.
Go for a powerful seductress vibe in a black mesh catsuit
Black catsuits typically exude powerfully mysterious and commanding dark feminine energy. If you hope to stand out in a black catsuit, look for one with mesh details instead of more traditional pieces. It won't look as provocative as sheer options but will still appear sexy for femme fatale vibes.
Explore adorable mesh shoes
The mesh look doesn't only have to be for clothing. Anyone looking to try something creative and different with their footwear should look for mesh shoes or at least footwear with mesh details. For instance, mesh flats are stylish and trendy — the perfect pairing for cute and playful ensembles.
Flaunt a mesh bathing suit
Fully sheer swimsuits aren't usually considered appropriate for most public swimming places, even when surrounded by bikinis. If you want to exude similar energy but without revealing as much as you would in a sheer swimsuit, a mesh bikini or one-piece will still give that sultry presence — without showing so much of your private areas.
Try sleek and dramatic mesh gloves
If you want to embrace the dramatic opera glove trend, mesh pairs are excellent. More solid and velvety options may feel too heavy and hot, causing excessive sweat or discomfort. However, mesh gloves should help keep your hands and lower arms warm enough while feeling relatively lightweight. Plus, the mesh gloves will elevate your outfits, helping them look more stylish.
