See-through clothing

See-through clothing is clothing made of non-opaque material, often similar to (though usually thicker than) what is used for tights. Obviously, this allows people to see the wearer's skin almost as if he or she were naked or scantily clad. The wearer may have lingerie underneath to avoid being indecent, or on the contrary going commando to avoid lingerie being visible.

A skirt or dress may have its lowest part see-through, thereby showing more of the thighs than its length would otherwise allow.

Ordinary clothing may allow some see-through; for example, some leggings do, especially if the wearer is bending over so that the material is stretched. Skin-tight clothing may become see-through if the material is stretched so that it becomes thinner; this may happen in particular with leggings. A white blouse may be sufficiently see-through to allow a black bra underneath to be detectable.

Cut-outs

A cut-out is a large hole deliberately cut in a piece of clothing to reveal the wearer's bare flesh underneath. The commonest place for a cut-out is over the breasts to emphasize cleavage.

Clothing may also be at least partly see-through if it has lots of small holes, for example, if it is made of lace; there may also be one or more large holes.
