One of the hottest trends for AW11 is fetish fashion however, for most people underwear as outerwear and PVC may be a step too far. An accessible way to wear this trend is by investing in a Sheer Black Top. The fabric enables you to show some flesh and lingerie without making you look like you have just stepped out of a strip club. You can step up to a more fetish look by pairing a sheer black top with some leather leggings or tone it down with some jeans. This trend may not be for everyone but a sheer black top is. Think of it as a wardrobe staple that can be worn day and night, for any occasion.

Animal Colour Block Black Sheer Shirt
Animal print has always been synonymous with all things sexy and some may argue if done in the wrong way it can be tasteless but this Topshop shirt manages to combine a sheer black top and leopard print without being tacky. This Animal Colour Block Shirt is ideal if you want a bolder version of a sheer black top that shows off the trend of colour blocking in a less obvious way. It would look great with a midi length pencil skirt and heeled boots for a playful night-time look.
Sheer Insert Glam Evening Top – £95
Cut out has been a huge trend for a couple of seasons and this top combines a sheer cut out panel with long sleeves for a daring evening top. When wearing this sheer black insert top from John Lewis avoid wearing anything short on the bottom or your look may head towards cheap rather than chic. Instead wear with tailored trousers or a sleek maxi skirt for a more fashion forward outfit. A sheer black top like this will certainly turn heads.
A sheer black top is the ideal way to give a nod to the fetish trend without fully going for it, a look best left to the runways and celebrities. If even associating these sheer tops with such a trend puts you off then think about them as a way to be subtly sexy, something that most women strive for. What sheer black top will you go for?
