Backless Evening Dresses
It is unlikely that you will find at least one man who will calmly walk past a lady in an elegant outfit, where the open back is the main decoration. Interestingly, these dresses attract the attention of both men and women. The former admire and desire, the latter, most likely, simply envy. An open back creates a mysterious, romantic, and also sexy image, sometimes on the verge of vulgarity.
Peculiarities
- As a rule, an open back is present on cocktail and evening dresses, although now it is quite possible to find casual outfits.
- The depth of the cut reaches to the level of the shoulder blades, to the waistline, to the lower back or below. And in shape, it comes in various forms - oval (considered a classic), triangular, rectangular, asymmetric, and so on.
- In the front, as a rule, dresses are minimally decorated, have a modest cut, since the main emphasis is placed on the back area.
- To achieve a greater effect, the back cut is often decorated with stones, sequins, rhinestones and other elements.
Posture must be absolutely even, in no case stooped, and the back must be well-groomed, otherwise all attempts to achieve an ideal image will go to waste.
Do not think that an open back is the priority of exceptionally slender girls with perfect figures and proportions. The cutout on the back, with its right choice, will also suit girls with curvaceous shapes.
Styles
Many girls cannot finally decide on the length of the dress - short or long. In this regard, we have some useful tips:
- If you choose a long outfit, you will be able to create an elegant and sophisticated image that is best suited for gala evenings;
- A floor-length dress is an unmatched option, but it requires significant walking skills in high heels;
- Short models are a modern solution that will suit any age and height.
- As for the shape of the cutout itself, then be guided purely by your own wishes and preferences.
- If we talk about decor, then you need to choose a model with an open back based on the event.
Short dresses
Open-back cropped models have conquered numerous fashion catwalks this season and will continue to delight fashionistas in the future. Many designers considered it their duty to present their own vision of such dresses.
The real trend is short cocktail outfits with a back cut in shimmery and shiny fabrics.
A more laconic design requires the use of viscose, plain silk, knitwear. The look is elegant and the open back is the perfect complement.
If you are short, then try on a model with a short fluffy skirt. She compensates for growth and perfectly emphasizes dignity. And for girls with an ideal figure, a short outfit with a cut-out is suitable, the key feature of which is a tight-fitting cut.
The beach season also cannot be complete without open back outfits. As the designers have shown, they act not only as formal dresses, but are also quite suitable for trips to the sea. In this case, attention is focused on thin tunics with an open back.
Plus, do not forget about one important feature of a short dress with a deep neckline - the deeper it is, the less your legs look visually. Therefore, here you can act in two ways - to abandon such a deep cutout, or to purchase high-heeled shoes.
Long Dresses
If you want to get a really smart dress, then it must be long. Such models are included in the collections of the leading designers of this season.
Fine silk and satin, varying depths of the neckline in combination with a long cut will be the perfect solution for creating a seductive and extravagant look.
Bright and amazing models are made of silk and complemented by all kinds of decorations, floral prints, stones.
Also, designers draw the attention of fashionistas to a long dress in the Greek style, where the neckline plays one of the most important roles.
But one cannot fail to say about outfits with a train. Special pleats made of airy fabrics look amazing together with a cutout on the back.
Design options
As we said, the back cutout can be styled in a variety of ways. Let's talk about which options are worth looking at and who will work best for them.
- No upper back. Perhaps the most concise and simple cutout option. Some dresses are complemented by draperies. But be careful here, as the form-fitting silhouette and plunging neckline will require the outfit to fit perfectly to your figure. Therefore, it is desirable to sew it to order.
- Crossover straps. They can be thin or wide. In this case, the straps are often complemented with sequins, stasis or exquisite sequins.
- Double neckline. In this case, the shoulders are open and the cutout reaches the shoulder blades, and the next cutout is already lower, approximately in the lumbar region.
- T-shirt-racer. More precisely, its imitation. Here we are talking about a narrow strip of fabric that is located between the shoulder blades. The rest of the back is open.
There is also such a type of neckline as a fantasy one. Designers present quirky star-shaped or stained-glass cutouts. The neckline that starts at the shoulder and ends at the opposite thigh is also unusually smooth.
Whichever option you choose, any of them can be supplemented with accessories, jewelry to your own taste.Try it, experiment, choose your perfect neckline.
Open back illusion
For shy girls or those with imperfections on the skin, with imperfect posture or body proportion, fashion designers have created equally spectacular models, both short and long, with the illusion of a bare back.
The depth and shape of the cutout on the back from the main fabric of various shapes are closed with a thin fabric matching the color of the skin. Beautiful patterns embroidered on the fabric create a tattoo effect, and lace appliqués add exquisite charm. It should be noted that models with the illusion of a naked body are also suitable for official celebrations.
The advantage of the models is that they keep the figure, emphasizing the sophistication of the image. As a rule, the fabric is complemented by draperies, rhinestones, beads and other decor options. We can say that the use of an insert in skin tone has become a real discovery of the fashion world.
7 useful tips
If you are going to buy yourself an outfit with an open back, then we recommend that you pay attention to seven very useful tips. By observing them, you will be able to choose the perfect dress and demonstrate your strongest qualities.
- As mentioned above, keep your posture and pay attention to the condition of the skin on your back. The presence of blackheads, rashes, redness or other unpleasant phenomena says only one thing - the cut on the back is not the best option. It is best to visit a beauty salon beforehand, undergo a skin cleansing procedure, and various spa treatments. So you can tidy up the back.
- Rate the muscles. An unkempt back is half the trouble. If it is with fat folds, swollen, obviously this will not create the desired effect. Visit the gym, bring your figure back to normal. When there is no time, then give up the neckline, or choose an outfit with a mesh or lace on the open back.
- Shoes should only be high-heeled. A low platform will ruin the image. Choose closed-toe shoes. In this case, a slightly open toe is allowed. Never open your heels.
- Underwear must match the outfit. Nothing should be visible. A strip of underwear will ruin the whole open back experience. It is better to take a bra in silicone or tied around the neck (in the event that the dress has a high collar). Plus, there are special cups that support the chest, but do not have straps. Brave girls may even refuse a bra.
- It is better to choose a high hairstyle. Of course, why open your back if you still won't see it behind your long hair.
- There should be a minimum of accessories. The main decoration of the image is the open back area. Therefore, all attention should be focused on her, and not on large earrings, massive chains and so on.
