シアー

• 読み: シアー
• ローマ字: shiā
• 発音: /ɕi.aː/

意味

Sheer; semi-transparent fabric or finish used in fashion and beauty for a soft, ethereal look.

シアー refers to translucent, see-through materials and finishes in both fashion and beauty. In fashion, シアー素材 (sheer fabric) — think sheer blouses, organza layers, and mesh details — adds a delicate, layered dimension to outfits. In beauty, シアー仕上がり (sheer finish) describes translucent makeup that lets natural skin show through. The term captures a softness and delicacy prized in Japanese aesthetics. Sheer elements signal sophistication and a lighter, more breathable look.
