Keeping the rest of the outfit simple works as well. Try sticking to neutrals like black, white, cream or beige to avoid looking overdone.

You can always fall back on a pair of black high-waisted trousers. They almost always do the trick.

If the trend just isn’t working out for you, go for a more understated option such as this flirty top with small sheer panels on its sleeves.
