Step 1: Find a seamless bralette or cropped tank. It’s important that there aren’t any embellishments (lest you snag your sheer sweater), patterns, or colors on the bra, because all these make this look seem like more of a concerted effort for attention.

It should also be a long-line bra, which means it covers a little more of the rib cage underneath the underwire — you’ll want this because it’s a little more modest and makes the look appear more intentional than just slapping on any old Victoria’s Secret bra underneath. Try one with thin straps that look nothing like normal elastic bra straps. (You can find a similar bra to the one we used here.)
Step 2: Slip on a sheer top or gauzy sweater.
