Here’s a carry-over from 2008 that is going to be a huge trend in 2009:  Sheer fabrics. Ah, don’t fear! Its not all tight, see-thru tops that feature your colored bra like in the 1990’s when we last saw this look.

The transparent look was all over the Spring 09 runways at BCBG Max Azria, Monique Lhullier, John Galliano, and Stella McCartney. Delicate fabrics like chiffon were mixed with muted colors and pastels to create a fairy-tale inspired, ultra feminine looks. Tight sheer pieces, layers, and the much sought after delicate, Grecian-goddess draping.

Sheers and chiffons are just plain sexy. Some recent examples of doing this sheer trend right are Lily Allen and Emma Watson.
