Wear Sheer Tops

Sheer tops are a subtle way of showing off your lingerie. If you have an eye-catching bra that you think should be seen, try wearing a lace blouse or lightweight chiffon over the top instead of covering it all up. This way, you can determine how much your bra is visible, by how much sheer your top is. Your bra has to be opaque so that it’s the only thing that shows under your sheer top. As a rule of thumb, you should never wear a sheer shirt with a lacy bra. A simple t-shirt bra with strapping is much more suitable.
One more thing to remember when wearing a sheer top is that it should be a neutral color. Black for instance, is sexy and bold. Muted or colors that are too light will make people wonder if you really intended to show off your lingerie or you just didn’t catch a glimpse of your wardrobe malfunction in the mirror before you left the house.
