💎 What to Wear Under and With a Mesh Skirt
Mesh skirts are having a major moment — bold, breathable, and unapologetically feminine. Whether you’re dressing up for a night out, styling your streetwear look, or expressing your confidence after a season of healing, the mesh skirt is your perfect statement piece.
But one of the most common questions I get is:
“What do I wear under it?”
and
“How do I style it without showing too much?”
Let’s talk about both — because fashion is all about feeling good in what you wear, not just looking good. 💅🏾
✨ What to Wear Under a Mesh Skirt
How you layer underneath depends on your comfort level, the occasion, and the look you’re going for:
💎 1. High-Waisted Shorts
For everyday or streetwear looks, high-waisted biker shorts or spandex shorts are perfect. They give you comfort, coverage, and confidence. Pair with sneakers or Jordans for an effortless vibe.
Pro tip: Go for matching tones like black-on-black or nude-on-nude to keep it sleek.
💎 2. Bodysuit or Leotard
If you want something bold and fashion-forward, wear a fitted bodysuit underneath. This is perfect for concerts, nights out, or photoshoots. It creates a smooth silhouette and keeps the outfit classy while showing off your personality.
💎 3. Mini Skirt or Slip
If you love a feminine, flirty vibe — a short satin slip or mini skirt under your mesh adds coverage without taking away the flowy, see-through look.
💎 4. Matching Set or Lined Skirt
Some mesh skirts come with a built-in lining or matching underlayer. If yours does, embrace it! It’s the easiest way to get a polished, cohesive look with zero stress.
💎 5. Briefs or Boyshorts (for Fashion Shoots)
If you’re going for editorial or runway-style looks, high-waisted briefs can work. Just make sure the coverage level matches your comfort level.
💃🏾 What to Wear With a Mesh Skirt
Once you’ve got your base layer figured out, it’s time to style it up! Here are four easy ways to pull the look together depending on your mood:
💛 1. Street Style Confidence
• Top: Graphic tee, cropped hoodie, or fitted tank
• Shoes: Jordans or sneakers (your yellow and black pair would pop 👟🖤)
• Accessories: Gold hoops, crossbody bag, and statement shades
Perfect for a day out or content shoot. This look says: “I’m confident, comfortable, and unapologetically me.”
🖤 2. Date Night Glam
• Top: Silk cami, corset, or off-the-shoulder blouse
• Shoes: Strappy heels or ankle boots
• Layer: Cropped leather jacket or oversized blazer for edge
This combo gives “soft but strong” energy — ideal for when you’re stepping into your healed era and want to show up confidently.
✨ 3. Edgy & Fearless
• Top: Mesh-on-mesh layering (like a long-sleeve mesh top under your skirt)
• Shoes: Platform boots or chunky heels
• Add: Statement belt, smoky eye, and bold lip
Fashion is therapy — and this look screams self-expression and power.
☀️ 4. Summer Chill Vibes
• Top: Bikini top or tube top
• Shoes: Slides or platform sandals
• Accessories: Straw bag, light jewelry, and your favorite sunnies
Casual, comfy, and cute. Perfect for festivals, brunches, or beach days.
💬 Final Thoughts
