From blouses to dresses, sexy sheer fabrics reign in 2009 and are back as one of this season’s newest fashions. From runway to runway, designers everywhere are taking the sheer look to a whole new level.

Focusing on delicate fabrics, trendy colors, and soft silhouettes, this summer’s translucent pieces are a great way to beat the heat. These celestial fashions come in a variety of fabrics. From solid colors, to floral prints, to ethnic patterns, you’re bound to find something to spice up your wardrobe. And if fear of color is something that keeps you from participating in the latest trend, don’t worry. With colors ranging from white to black there is sure to be a color out there for you. However, one thing is a must when venturing into this season’s trend: Good taste and modesty are always fashion “do’s,” so keep the look modest and delicate by layering these gossamer garments over other pieces, such as colored cami’s or nude slips.

If the sheer look is not for you, go for a chic, one-shoulder garment. Thanks to First Lady Michelle Obama, one-shoulder garments have stepped into the limelight, and they can be found on tops, cocktail dresses, and even bathing suits. Show a bit of skin with a one-shoulder top and create a delicate, mysterious mood that you can’t get in an everyday blouse. Or try a Grecian style dress, and experience the femininity that comes from the softly draped fabric that will make you feel like a goddess no matter what the occasion.

Whether you prefer a little see-through number or a flowing Grecian dress, one thing is for sure: This season’s focus is on feminine fabrics and delicate details that will leave you looking ethereal and beautiful, like a summer goddess.
