Silver, white, champagne, beige – nude-coloured apparel as well as sheer fabrics are a fashion MUST for spring and summer 2009. Unfortunately these are very ‘risky business’ trends, because it all depends on your body’s appearance.
To wear sheer just like on the runways, a slender silhouette is advised – if your body is far from being perfect try layering a slip or camisole underneath sheer fabrics. This will make you more confident about your curves.
Nude, on the other hand requires a tanned body as it has a tendency to wash out some skin tones (otherwise expect a spooky ghostly look!). If you – unfortunately – have a pale skin and your complexion doesn’t let you get any tanned without getting red first, try mixing nudes with other colours.
I am not personally a fan of nudes, so I always mix such ‘unlively’ shades with more daring accessories - oversized necklaces or earrings (Zac Posen), multiple bangles, classy belt (Gianfranco Ferre), eye-catching pair of shoes (Alexander Wang) or just red lips as seen in Proenza Schouler.
Nudes don’t have to, on the other hand, be completly boring. Note the geometric shapes and combining different textures and materials as seen in Calvin Klein and Marchesa.
