The risk factor: For most a hint of décolleté remains an acceptable flash of flesh but this season’s sheer lace dresses, vests and peekaboo panels take on a new peep show spin.
Getting it right: Layer a lace-edged slip dress over a white T-shirt and longline waistcoat, or rock a short-sleeved turtleneck beneath a see-through, floral cami.
Where to shop for it: For an extensive collection of lace lingerie and bodies look to M&S’s Autograph range and check out H&M’s plunging chiffon playsuit for a retro-modern alternative to the traditional camisole.
