Sheer Leggings Trend

Are Naked Leggings the New Naked Dress?

A quick scroll through last year's sexiest red carpet looks and you'll begin to notice a trend: the naked dress was a huge hit with the stars — so big that we're no longer too shocked when we see it. But as things take a turn in the other direction, with gowns getting more and more modest at award shows and events, it's the off-duty looks that are getting a revealing makeover. Particularly in the form of mesh- and sheer-paneled leggings.

Considering many It models can't get enough of them, we've been spotting this style all over and are now declaring "naked leggings" the next big thing. Keep scrolling for a bit of proof, then shop this barely there trend for yourself.
