For some reason that's beyond the stretch of my comprehension, sheer clothing is in style this year.  In other words, if you're wearing a shirt that is see-through, you're in style.  For obvious reasons, this is immodest.  Not only is your skin showing through, you can also see your bra, which is immodest.  Another flaw I've noticed about many sheer shirts is that they're very thin and clingy.  They cling to your skin and show off too much of your figure to be modest.
It's possible to wear sheer blouses and still be modest.  I'll post some ways below.  Buy a size larger so that you won't have the issues with clinginess.  There are some sheer styles that aren't clingy and form fitting that you could wear instead.  Wear a cami underneath your blouse.  A cami in another color is a neat effect.  It can add more pop to your sheer blouse. 

I don't really like the look of sheer blouses, with a cami or not, but some people like the style.  If you like the style of sheer blouses, then feel free to experiment with camis underneath them and jackets and scarves above them.

Do you like sheer blouses?  What are some ways that you hide the sheer effect?

I personally love trench coats.  I think they're figure flattering, modest, feminine, and cute.  They make me think of detectives... and I love old detective novels.  Another great thing about trench coats is the fact that they cover up.  They don't dip down low, so you're able to look stylish and modest at the same time.  I'll go ahead and discuss the different kinds of trench coats in style this year.

Pea Coats
These are still popular, although not quite as much of the rage as they were last year.  They're generally made from a thicker, warmer material than a trench coat.  You should wear your pea coats fairly short, no longer than mid-thigh.  The colors that I've seen around the most are: black, white, teals, and deep purples.  I've seen some prints as well.  Big buttons are also in, part of a military jacket theme that's been circulating recently.  You can purchase the cute purple pea coat to your left at JC Penney for $69.99.

Long Trench Coats
These can reach from your knees to your calves.  However long they are, they should have a cinch belt to tie around your waist and big buttons.  You should preferably choose a coat with a big, flipped collar.  Colors can range from beiges and grays to blacks and charcoals to brighter colors, such as reds, greens, and blues.  Be careful: if you're short like me, a long trench coat can dwarf you even further.  Check out this cute trench coat from Old Navy.  It's only $49.99. 

Short Trench Coats
I've seen these coats as shirts before, which I like, because they aren't too short.  They can also be used as jackets.  They should reach anywhere from mid-thigh to your hip.  Colors like red, purple, and blue are stylish when it comes to shorter trench coats.  These should also have big buttons, a turned out collar, and a cinched waist.  Fabrics like satin and velvet are accepted with this trend.  I wore a short trench coat for part of my spirit week costume this year.  Check out this cute trench coat for $79.99.
