Summer is the perfect time to embrace the warmer weather and show off a little skin. One of the most common ways for that is the crop top and high-waist duo. Although that trend is insanely cute and practical for long sweaty days, there are just some times when having your midriff out to play can come off as a bit over sharing. It’s very possible to keep it classy while showing off some skin. How, you ask? Allow me to introduce the subtly sexy trend, cutout dresses! This peek-a-boo effect instantly makes any outfit a bit edgier and adds a little something extra to the overall look.
This Fashionista not only sported a beautiful cutout maxi dress that was spot on with the trend but she also proved that it’s possible to wear black in the summer! When you get the urge to throw on the darkest shade during the hottest months just remember to opt for more flowy pieces such as dresses or skirts and definitely pay attention to fabrics (steer clear of leather and velvet). In order to brighten up her rather dark ensemble, this Fashionista added in some pops of blue. Although her nail polish, Tory Burch bag and tassel necklace are all different shades, they do a great job of blending and adding some depth to the outfit. This fashionista completed her look with a pair of Ray-Ban Clubmaster sunglasses and simple black sandals.
How To: When dabbling with a very specific trend, you have to make sure that it is the main focus. To achieve a look similar to the Fashionista’s above you need to get your hands on an attention grabbing maxi dress with cutouts that make a real statement. Since the dress will be doing most of the talking, you can add a few simple accessories that show off your personality and you’re all set!
