The 90's transparent outfit is a 2025 fashion trend

Absolute minimalism is back with shirts, bodysuits and dresses in tulle, nylon and see-through organza. A fashion that has nothing to hide.

There is an air of a great return to 90s minimalism. With the women's fashion trend for spring summer 2025 expressly dedicated to the theme of transparency we have a vast choice of options with which to put into practice an axiom that comes from a recent past that still has a lot to give, especially to the latest generations who did not experience those years up close. The transparent outfit at any level you want to test remains a challenge but at the same time a test of how confident you can be with your own body. A genius like Helmut Lang had foreseen it well in advance: his minimalist look that made fashion an art worked precisely on the see-through association thanks to transparent outfits with the shirt, skirt and dress with simple constructions, mostly in a rigorous black and white palette. Today, the revisitation of visible stitching, layering made of white on white or colour on colour staturation translate into transparent chiffon, silk gauze and nylon blends for new summer versions of the transparent tulle tank top , the nude-effect flesh-coloured shirt , as are also transparent summer shoes. Learning to show yourself without revealing could prove to be an excellent practice.

Sheer outfit, skirt or pants?

Among the options of the minimalist aesthetic with transparent outfits are the combos with skirts and trousers with which parts of the body are revealed that are usually covered by the garment itself. Instead, the spring summer 2025 trend actually undresses the legs thanks to a transparent skirt with very chaste proportions, or by trousers that are completely naked except for the culotte part.

How to maintain an easy and active spirit during the warm season and the obvious rising temperatures? The transparent trend comes to the rescue thanks to looks composed of utility jackets full of pockets, hoods and strategic zips made of mesh, tulle and net, to be combined with tops and shorts or even with tone-on-tone dresses for a quick but feminine mix. After exploring total white, the green light is also given to chromatic experiments typical of sports codes as well as the bright and candy spring summer 2025 palette.

How to choose a sheer dress for summer

To do this, we need to recall the master of transparency and minimalist layering: Helmut Lang. Choosing to wear an outfit with a transparent dress today opens up two paths. Playing with the layering of the colored tulle dress over a pair of regular trousers, or letting yourself be X-rayed as mother nature made us.

After culottes as part of the elegant evening looks seen this winter almost behind us, the body is the next fetish element of the wardrobe to focus on for the next outfits of spring summer 2025. Associating them with the concept of transparency and layering could prove to be a great idea and turning point. It is as if the one-piece swimsuit of the summer lent itself to interpreting an element of day outfit. More dress compared to the lingerie area, less dress because reduced in its own fit of the body. To be tested also in colored mode.

Accessories can also be transparent

Finally, an almost cinematic suggestion with the concept of the see-through bag which in itself is already an act of great courage. Who would willingly show the contents of their bag, failing to meet the highest level of privacy protection? Here comes into play the cunning of Victoria Beckham with the idea of the bag inside another bag totally transparent because it is in black nylon with a pantyhose effect. Worth a try.
