Sheer genius! How YOU can dare to bare in see-through styles like Jessica Alba and Kourtney Kardashian - without showing off TOO much skin 

  • Jessica, 35, and Kourtney, 37, recently stepped out in transparent designs, as have Kim Kardashian, 35, and Olivia Palermo, 30
  • FEMAIL reveals how to go sheer like the trendsetting celebs  

As Paris Fashion Week wrapped up last week, we noticed the chicest street style looks had one thing in common - total transparency. 

From Jessica Alba's gorgeous sheer lace skirt to Kourtney Kardashian's fully see-through dress, stars weren't afraid to show some skin through thin gauzy fabrics. 

Here, FEMAIL reveals how to go sheer in everyday life.

GO BOLD AND SHOW OFF YOUR UNDERPINNINGS: If you dare to bare all, take a cue from Kourtney Kardashian. Don a high-waisted panty and a matching bra top under a see-through long-sleeved dress. Finish with peep toe heels and bling.
