WHY IT WORKS
The lace and metallic trousers are both statement pieces, but they’re doing different jobs.
The dress adds transparency, movement and texture; the trousers give it opacity and structure underneath. Because the jacket is cropped and solid black, it breaks up the layers and keeps the outfit from becoming one long column of fabric.
The silver shoe doesn’t introduce anything new, it continues the shine already happening underneath the lace.

STEAL THIS IDEA
Don’t automatically put a slip under a sheer dress.
Try trousers, jeans, shorts or another skirt underneath instead. The sheer piece becomes a layer rather than an outfit you have to build around.
And don’t save the dramatic thing for a dramatic occasion. Sometimes the reason to wear it is simply that you’re going out for martinis.
