The Sheer Trend For Mature Women
I believe a small touch of trend keeps mature women looking current and visible. That doesn’t mean looking like mutton dressed as lamb. It means interpreting the trends in such a way as to feel confident and stylish. There are many new and returning trends to choose from this time of year so I’ve decided to start a new series to explore a few over the coming weeks.
Let’s start with a challenging one. Sheer. It’s all about what shows beneath and that needn’t mean your undergarments. They’re both elegant and tacky ways to interpret this trend.
Do you believe the mature woman can wear it?
Would you wear this trend if it looked like this?
Or this?
Please share your thoughts below. I’ll be back with my thoughts and some ways to wear it later this week.

Love that sheer gingham top. Very chic. – I’d wear it in a minute.
I would wear any of these except the black one, black is not flattering on me anymore
The Karen Kane blue and white top is acceptable for me. Also the Calvin Klein black and white gingham one as a duster was good. The black heart one was not modest enough for me and it would make me feel like a serving of mutton.
A serving of mutton is never what I what to look like either!
Love the black and white gingham duster and see no reason why women our age should shy away from a little sheer expression of our personalities. The blue lace top is pretty and would be perfect for date night or a casual gathering. I do believe that the proper undergarments are key to this look, no matter your age.
Thank you for this post and so many others.
I love that duster too! It’s a great combo of menswear with femininity.
Even though I’m a shortie, #1 is my favorite and I would wear that for sure. I think the key for women in our age group is to wear it tastefully. The undergarments do the heavy lifting for this trend. I would do a column of one color (probably white) in a tee or tank and jeans underneath. A cami would not provide enough modesty for me.
I love the idea of a column of color under it too!
Fortunately, there are many different versions of the sheer trend and I think any woman would be able to find something that would look and fit great. I’m glad to embrace a trend to feel and look current as long as it is appropriate for my body type. Thanks for showing us different options! I so enjoy your blog, Jennifer!
Thanks for being here Beth.
I wear some sheer tops over Chico’s tanks as the tanks come in so many colors and are substantial and do not look like under wear.
I wear a lot of Chicos tanks too.
