Stay cool under the sun in light, translucent pieces. Work sheer tops, skirts, and dresses into a modest wardrobe by sticking to sheer accents, layering over a tank top or slip. For the daring type, just see what you can get away with. This look is best with blousy, loose silhouettes—anything too tight borders on tasteless.
