As summer draws nearer, I have been keeping a close eye on the chic trends expected to dominate in summer 2023. One trend that has captured my attention is sheer dresses. There is something about the allure of sheer fabric that I love, and let's be honest—summer in New York can get hot, so the lightweight nature of sheer dresses is a blessing. Sheer dresses are currently having a major moment, and I couldn't be happier about it. I have been on the hunt for the perfect sheer dresses to add to my summer wardrobe and have found 30 options that I am absolutely drooling over. From sultry black sheer dresses from Zara and Free People to luxurious and cool designs from Rick Owens and Aya Muse, trust me when I say that this roundup is the holy grail of sheer dresses.
