Styling long sheer shirt

Sara L.

I bought this shirt a couple months ago and asked the forum for help with styling. I got a bunch of good suggestions but hadn't had a chance to try them out until tonight. Please try to ignore the no makeup and goofy hair. I have some other ideas too but ran out of time. What do you think? Do any of these work?

#1/2 - Layered shirt under a boxy sweater with cuffs out. This is the only sweater of this type I own. New olive green pants from Zara.
#3 - Same thing but with rolled cuffs.
#4/5 - Boyfriend style blazer
#6/7 - Shorter black blazer

Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions are welcome!

All of these look like they work. From the front I like the shorter black blazer best because of the layered lengths.

Sorry to be a mare:-(, I never posted it, but have a white blouse exactly like this (sheer, high front and owerhelming low back), only Vneck and pussy bow. I tried to style it but always failed, and is an closet orphan.... Like you, I envisioned this peaking out under some knits, and blazers but anyhow I try the back views give me pause---I think it's too much of a difference between front and back for my not so trendy style persona (but I am 45:-)). I am thinking to alter it cutting shorter the back, to achieve a more moderate look.
But untill then, I am following your thread close, and taking notes on what others say.

3-4-5 work best. I do like the side view on this one.

Another thought is to half tuck it a bit in front.

I like all renditions and think you styled the long sheer blouse beautifully. Well done!

I like it best with the short jacket.

I like it best with the cropped jacket, as well. A sweater may yet work, but I think without a waistband...more of a boxy hem. I do like the sleeves rolled up on the sweater look. Keep going! I always have a hard time styling button down shirts (I just don't know if they are for me!) so you are providing some much needed inspiration

I like it with the jacket, too. Nice shirt!

I have a purple-blue partially-sheer shirt of a similar length, and I've found that a longer, drapier high-low hem sweater can look really good layered over it. I also think this would great with a lighter colored jacket or sweater for a tonal effect.

I vote for #1 and #4, but also agree a looser sweater could be even better.

This shirt looks great peeping out from under the sweater. And I like it better with the longer blazer; don't mind the cropped, but would before even more cropped blazer with this look/hemline.
