VERY REVEALING


Your mother's counsel always included clean underwear, lest you're caught in an unfavorable situation in less-than-stellar skivvies.

This spring, the ante is being upped as runways from Jil Sander to Marc Jacobs decree that your underwear won't just be a discreet (and private) part of your ensemble, but a front-and-center focus.

In short: It better be chic. “The sheer trend is a wonderful opportunity to layer beautiful pieces together in an unapologetically feminine way,” said Franceska Luther, creative director of Myla.

Case in point: Chanel's sheer black dress goes from ladylike to downright naughty with Agent Provocateur's pleated satin “gangster” set beneath it, while ChloĆ©'s flowing peek-a-boo gown gets an added dose of definition from a perfect purple bra and panty set. Your ability to cleverly embrace a trend won't be the only thing showing.
