But don't worry, it's not all about tight, see-through tops, and dresses that scream 'look at me' as we saw in the 1990s. Run your eyes over the Spring / Summer 2008 and Spring / Summer 2009 runway collections and you'll find sheer fabrics used in a multitude of ways: tight sheer pieces, layers, and the much sought after delicate, feminine draping.
Not limited to the usual though, 2008 also ushers in sheer skirts and pants - pair them with more modest bloomers or boy-shorts rather than a skimpy thong and you'll keep the look elegant. And elegance really is the key to wearing the sheer fashion trend this year. While it was last at its most popular in the 1990s, it was in 2006 that it last hit our radar.

Back then it was almost too sensual, and we weren't yet ready for it (consider the level of nudity shown in fashion titles such as Vogue in 2006 in comparison to current issues). When it did get featured in public, particular elements of a fashion piece were sheer and they seldom revealed anything. Consider 2006's sheer necklines trend, seen here on Salma Hayek, Natalie Portman, and Lucy Liu.

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers.
