You’ll see from our inspiration photos that you can wear it from head to toe, or layer one special piece to bring the color into your OOTD.

Keep scrolling to see what we mean.

Our latest selling guide is chock full of spring trends. Some are old favorites like florals, while some are a bit more exciting, like sheer dresses.

Hear us out. It may sound frightening at first mention, but you’ll see in our outfit picks below that sheer dresses can be worn beautifully over other clothing, including non-sheer dresses. And sometimes, only the sleeves and lower skirt are completely sheer.

But let us show you what we mean! We think some of the best sheer dress inspiration lies ahead. Here are some looks that have us truly excited to try the trend this season.

Sheer dresses are only one of the 30 trends we’re currently sharing over here in our seasonal selling guide. Take a look, then spring clean your closet and visit any of our store locations across the country to sell your pre-loved clothes for cash or store credit. If you’re not located near one of our stores, then we have a Sell by Mail option just for you!

If you do take our advice and try the trend, then we want to see your looks! Tag us on Instagram @crossroadstrading, and you might find yourself featured on our brand feed.
