For those of us old enough to recall, there was a time when shirts with long, sheer sleeves were the very essence of cool. On the international fashion dateline that period falls somewhere between colorful B.U.M. Equipment sweatshirts and grunge plaid. So it's been hard to miss the recent rise of see-through button-down shirts with The Frankie Shop stylishly leading the charge. Fact is, organza clothing of all varieties is proving pretty popular right now. Not that we're complaining. Far from it, actually.
The transparent fabric crafted of silk or synthetic yarn is making itself known on both runways and via retailers. The sheer material is well-suited to spring since it projects an easy, breezy vibe. Normally at this point we'd give you a long list of designers supplying organza must-haves. Well, we won't be doing that here because, frankly, we don't have the room. We barely have the bandwidth to include all of our favorite shopping selections. Although we still managed to squeeze in a few sartorial bargains.
