Thursday Trend: Low Back Dresses

06/13/13 | American Apparel, Asos, Fashion and Style, Pinterest, Thursday Trend

I am NOT a fan of cleavage. WAY too much skin in a private area and while I like playful peekaboo dresses deep v’s are not my friend. Backless dresses are becoming more and more popular and while they have been seen sporadically this season on the red carpet I am a bigger fan of women showing off their beautiful backs in real life.

I love dresses with back details and what is more perfect than a low backed maxi dress? These are five of my favorites event though three could be classified as gowns. 
Black / Striped / Neon / Blue / White

If you are really willing to go for it, there are mini dresses with low backs, these are my four favorites.  I love the vibrant colors and, of course, I had to include two with bows, I am sure Yi-Chia from Always Maylee would approve!

Colbalt / Emerald / Canary / Azure 
If you want to see more, you can always check out my Pinterset board titled Back Details. 
What do you think of this trend.

    Me too! I love backless dresses. I think it is a sexy and much classier way to show a little skin.

    I love this trend. I especially love the white one in the top right. I’m not a big fan of the what I like to call the giant ‘ass bows’ though. LOL! Those just aren’t for me.

    I love these looks, but I can never figure out how to keep my ta-tas up and in place!

    oh I love these all! I absolutely agree – I love a nice low back dress over a low cut dress

    I love these! They are sexy without being too revealing. Now I just need some stick-on boob tape!

    I think this is such a pretty trend BUT I hate that you can’t wear a bra with it!

    I love those maxis! I definitely prefer showing off my back as opposed to my chest. But, I agree with Lauren above me, I hate sticky bras!

    I think showing your back is sexy without venturing into skanky territory, but I have a hard time doing it myself because I hate those tape-on bras!

    I LOVE low back dresses.. so much cuter than a low-cute front. I think the short, yellow is my favorite 🙂
