START perfecting your best will ‘o’ the wisp impression, because fashion is having a floaty moment.

Spring is the time to indulge your romantic side with ethereal sheer and chiffon fabrics.

Keep the look modern by opting for Gothic greys and blacks, like the spotty blouse from New Look, and pair your new buys with heavy-duty belts and chunky wrist candy.

And remember, when in doubt, layer. It’ll preserve your modesty and keep the look fresh and flirty rather than trailer trash.

Kylie Minogue and Kate Bosworth look stunning in their chiffon creations.

US model Camilla Alves’ gorgeous dress was a sheer-fire winner – until the wind showed up the trickier side of the trend.
