This Former Clubwear Staple Is Fall's Hero Item

For anyone who’s old enough to have had a “going-out” wardrobe in the early aughts, you’re very familiar with mesh clothing. Maybe you remember it paired with DayGlo colors and bandage skirts then, but today it’s taken on a whole new identity. In fact, when we spotted it on Bella Hadid, via a sheer turtleneck, the mesh trend had a much different vibe that it did in the club.
While a see-through shirt will never loose its edge, the reason it’s so popular now is because of its versatility to be both daring—see Hadid’s styling under a denim matching set—or demure—layered under pinafore dresses or peeking from the neckline of a fuzzy sweater. Either way you prefer, we’ve decided to give our opaque and tissue-thin turtleneck tops that have ruled our fall wardrobe in the past a break in favorite of something even flimsier. And maybe ever more controversial
See Bella Hadid’s iteration of the sheer turtleneck below, then shop other styles that you can pair with nearly anything in your wardrobe for a little (or a lot of) mesh in your ensemble.
