I'm not quite sure who said it, but some wise fashion guru once proclaimed that "fashion is all about eventually becoming naked". To be honest, I couldn't agree more. There is nothing more liberating and comfortable that wearing little more than your birthday suit. Unfortunately, we are not all Lady Gaga (as much as we would like to be) and parading around in ensembles that barely cover is more likely to get you arrested than praised. This season, though, you can rock the semi-nude look with tops and blouses made of sheer chiffon and gauzy silks and still be appropriate enough to show yourself in public. With anything from billowing bloussant tops to more structured button-downs getting the semi see-through makeover, you have a variety of ways to wear this latest trend. Pair a draped, voluminous top over a pair of cute shorts or sleek leggings, or tuck a sheer button down into a simple summer skirt. Adding a cami underneath gives extra coverage, or if you're really feeling bold, try pairing the translucent tops with a pretty, brightly colored bra underneath for some peek-a-boo sex appeal.

So you've had a lot on your plate this past week (ha), but that doesn't mean you need to wear it on your waist (or hips, or thighs...) for the rest of the year! Since many of our favorite fitted winter sweaters and cocktail dresses can be very unforgiving when it comes to revealing every bump or bulge, the latest in shaping lingerie does things for our body that we can really be thankful for! Looking to appear sleeker in that bandage minidress? Look no further than this strapless dress shaper by Julie France that will keep things looking toned without strapping down your chest in the meantime! And if you want to be seamless in that high-waisted pencil skirt and definitely don't have room for panty lines, this shaping thong will give you all the tummy firming you need without the extra fabric. Take a look at the slideshow for the full selection of our favorite miracle-working lingerie for all kinds of trouble spots!
