Backless Fashion Trend Spring 2014

Increasing temperatures signal it’s time to strip off the layers and get back to bare basics. For summer, fashion is bringing sexy back and shedding some light on skin in the body’s elegant erogenous zone, the back. While micro minis and crop tops reign supreme in provocative style, nothing is more subtly seductive than a revealing, low-cut open back. Whether it’s slashed, strapped or cut out, offering a slight peekaboo or full exposure, this sexy style offers a surprising showcase of skin for warm weather dressing and is a tasteful trend that can be sported by risk-takers and demure wallflowers alike.

See our favorite revealing backless looks having a major moment, both on and off the runways.
