WHEN it comes to looks that toe the line between elevated-casual and elegant, you need not look further than Kendall Jenner for inspiration.
The model has become renowned for her pared-back — often The Row-heavy — street style looks, which epitomise the trending ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic. But, when she’s not donning denim, classic slacks and elevated basics, Jenner has proved she knows how to provoke and impress with her style. And her go-to style choice? Something sheer.
Sheer clothing has been omnipresent as of late, taking over the runways and street-style galleries alike. But as is to be discovered ahead, Jenner has been donning and rocking the controversial style for years. From gowns to singlets to near-naked dresses, the reality star has long had an affinity for see-through ensembles. Ahead, we round up the very best of them.
