Sheer skirts are a huge trend for spring/summer 2012. I found so many examples that I had to narrow my selections down to only the ones that had little miniskirts underneath. A good amount of the sheer skirts I saw on the runways didn't have anything underneath but briefs (see Lanvin and Missoni), but I think they are much more wearable if worn as an overlay instead.

That being said, I'm kind of obsessed with sheer skirt overlays right now. Designers made styles for every occasion, like the chic beachwear at Proenza Schouler or red carpet gowns at Vionnet. There are also a ton of chic cocktail options (Chanel, Marc Jacobs). My preferred style? The long, black overlays at Ann Demeulemeester, but I'm sort of having a goth moment right now, so that might be why. What's your favorite?

This spring, designers get daring. Sheer fabrics were used consistently throughout the runway shows for the upcoming season, with peekaboo panels at Burberry or shocking see-through gowns at Rochas and Galliano.

A more wearable (and forgiving) way to pull off the trend? Romantically demure sheer sleeves as seen at Valentino.
