If you’ve ever taken a look at a red carpet, you’ll be familiar with naked dressing: the A-lister’s secret weapon for causing a stir on the step-and-repeat. While we can appreciate these skin-baring looks from behind a laptop screen, recreating them in real life is another matter. Fortunately, you don’t need to commit to a completely sheer gown to channel the same mood. Lingerie-inspired dressing offers all the allure of naked dressing in a form that’s far easier to wear – floaty nightdresses, sheer seperates and, judging by recent street-style dispatches, plenty of satin. Whether you’re still deep in ’90s nostalgia mode and looking for an excuse to wear a Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy-esque slip dress, or you’ve got a collection of vintage camisoles waiting to see the light of day, here are a few easy ways to embrace all things satin this summer.
Cami top and jeans

A classic for a reason, a lace-trimmed cami is the ultimate in jeans and a nice top-dressing. Less Courtney Love than a full slip dress, a delicate spaghetti-strap camisole brings a touch of romance to oversized denim and chunky sandals.
