11 Pieces of Sheer Lingerie That Work Just as Well Outside as the Bedroom

Sheer lingerie is making its way out of the bedroom and finding its place out in the world, in a classy way. What was once considered taboo and reserved for the bedroom is now publicly embraced, from sheer bodysuits and dresses to camisoles and shorts. See-through fashion has been popular in recent years, and it has yet to take step back in 2025, even as it faces bans on certain red carpets.

Sheer pieces are a must-have item in everyday wardrobes and have a stylish purpose. Luxury brands like Pierre Cardin, Tory Burch, LaQuan Smith, Roberto Cavalli, and Dior embraced the seduction and wonder that sheer fabric has to offer. Lingerie, however, isn't new to the seductive nature of sheer pieces, but the difference now is that now lingerie is out in the open for all to see. From bralettes and slip-on sets, these pieces provide a fresh take on fashion and how self-expression and sensuality have become synonymous with each other. 

Once intended for shock value, the daring silhouettes have surpassed that to address the bigger discussion of the multifaceted nature of women and their reclaiming of their sensuality and femininity. Celebrities like Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, and Vittoria Ceretti have welcomed sheer elements into their wardrobes, inspiring others and the fashion industry to invest and create pieces that blur the lines between lingerie and the runway. 

Sheer lingerie is breathable, versatile, sultry, and comfortable, making life both outside and inside the bedroom comfortable. Whether you're deciding to dip your toe into the trend or have already committed to it, finding the perfect sheer lingerie piece and/or set will elevate your confidence as you walk down the street or engage in a passionate night.

Below, keep scrolling to see the 11 pieces of sheer lingerie that work just as well outside as the bedroom L'OFFICIEL has rounded up and promises to make you the main event.
