While the thought of exposing this much skin right now makes me shiver, thanks to the sub-freezing temperatures we’ve been having for the last FOREVER, I’ve been seeing this cut-out detail trend on everything from tights to dresses and it needs some serious discussion.
Should the cut-outs only be on the back? Maybe only on a dress? Or is that too risque and should we keep them on tops only so you can tone down the look with a jeans or trousers??
This coral number from ASOS retails for only $42 (plus $6 flat rate shipping to the USA!) and it definitely caught by eye, but I’m wondering if it might border on the trampy line…in a good way?
Like many things in fashion, sometimes all it takes to transform a dress from street to chic is the styling. I would keep my legs bare with this dress and go for a classic nude pump. I’d also keep all of my accessories super simple and lady-like to balance the super-hero/vixen-y look of the dress.
What do yall think? Is this trend here to stay? Do you dare to bare with all of these sexy cut-outs?
The good news is whether you’re on the fence or totally gung-ho on the cut-out craze, here are some inexpensive buys that you can experiment with…

I think this dress is gorg! It looks like something from a resort collection that you would wear to Palm Springs or South Beach, I think your styling tips for it would look great! Love your site! xoxo
I think I would like the dress better if the cut outs were only on the top half. I think cut-outs in moderation is a good rule of thumb for this.
But I also agree with Natasha – it looks like something from a resort collection it’s definitely a spring break/summer vacation vibe
I like the cut out look on some things but that dress reminds me of the one Julia Roberts in the beginning in Pretty Woman
Hate to say it, but I think it screams HOOKER!!! I don’t like it at all. Even though the model has a bangin body… still looks so trampy. Oh well… can’t win ‘em all.
