Sheer clothing always evokes a little bit of the '80s and also seems futuristic at the same time. Clothing with sheer insets and panels is usually considered to be a nighttime kind of outfit, but brands and designers like Alexander Wang and Free People have made sheer clothing a great daytime option too! From tops to even denim, it's easy to find this daring trend. For a subtle sheer look, check out the jersey sheath dress by Maggy London which has small sheer insets around the waistline. If you're feeling a little bolder try the boa burnout sweater by 3.1 Phillip Lim (with a nude bandeau bra underneath). Sheer clothing is definitely very sexy so don't overdo it with a head to toe sheer look. Click on over to my slideshow to see how you can incorporate the sheer trend into your wardrobe!

Sure, there are loads of deals this time of year, but let's face it - you're so over summer and ready to start building your fall wardrobe! But if you know what to look for while searching the sale racks this time of year, you can score some essential transition pieces that you can wear today, and straight through the fall! Here are the key things to look for: 1) Color palette: blacks and greys are year-round basics that work for all seasons, so scoop 'em up if you find a bargain! But don't rule out brights, jewel tones, and winter whites - these can look really chic with black or charcoal-colored tights, or peeking out from underneath your darker fall layers. 2) Layering: before you go pigeon-holing short-sleeved or sleeveless garments automatically into the "summer" box under your bed, keep in mind that the right accessories (scarves, tights, turtlenecks, cardigans and boots) will make even a sleeveless dress stretch into the winter months!
