Sheer tops are an elegant answer to surviving the summer heat. Sartorially speaking, see-through materials – mesh, silk organza and lace – make great layering pieces that add textural contrast and soft, sheer volume at whisper weight. Look to Prada and Rejina Pyo for a burst of neon colour or opt for the sepia tones of Molly Goddard and Emilia Wickstead. There are the boxy bowling shirts from Bode and Rachel Comey or the lithe, shin-grazing dresses at Jacquemus. Here, we round-up our favourite.
