What to Wear Under a Sheer Top

Fine handwoven fabric reads a little sheer in daylight. That's the fabric doing its job — not a flaw to fix. You just need to know what goes underneath.

Why good chanderi is slightly sheer

Chanderi is woven fine enough to breathe and to catch the light. Hold it up and you'll see through it a little; wear it and it sits soft and cool. The Moss Chanderi Popover is handwoven fine enough to read sheer in the light — that translucency is the point, not a defect.

What to layer underneath

Keep it simple. A fitted camisole or a plain slip in a colour close to your skin tone disappears and lets the weave stay the hero. A tonal option — one shade darker or lighter than the top — is more forgiving than stark white, which can glow through.

For an evening version, a slim black camisole under a lighter popover turns the sheerness into an intentional layered look rather than something to hide.

When you don't need anything

Solid linen doesn't have this issue. If you want the same relaxed shape with zero layering, a woven piece like the Sand Linen Wrap Top carries its own opacity and texture — throw it on and go.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Moss Chanderi Popover see-through?
It's woven fine, so it reads slightly sheer in bright light — beautiful, and easily handled with a tonal camisole underneath.

What colour camisole works best?
One close to your skin tone disappears; a tonal shade near the top's colour is the safest bet. Avoid bright white under pale fabric.
