I feel as though you’re on one of two bra teams: either you stick to one comfortable style and buy it on repeat or you have a lingerie drawer bursting with every colour, cut and design out there. I have the same classic T-shirt bra in black, white and beige, a backless bra and a strapless iteration. My sensible bra collection, however, is about to get a playful new addition thanks to all the sheer styles I’ve been spotting on Instagram. The delicate, see-through lace and mesh designs springing up everywhere on my feed are just too pretty to pass up. And want to know where to get them? Some of the best bra brands such as French lingerie specialist Simone Péreèle and London label Dora Larsen are providing multiple sheer choices.

You don’t have to spend a fortune to snap up these gorgeous sheer styles, though, as high-street brands including Arket and & Other Stories have so many expensive-looking sheer bras. If you’re a fan of un-padded styles, then these are for you, and seeing as they’re so intricately made, they’re worth showing off under oversized shirts, blazers and slip dresses. Keep scrolling to shop 15 sheer bras that’ll make you become a lingerie enthusiast.
