Trends: Back Strap, Cut-out Dresses

Young celebs have been spotted around town baring their backs in cut out or back-strap frocks recently. Something about the allusion to undergarments makes the look daring and very sexy.

If you’re ready to give this trend a try and aren’t afraid to show a little skin, then this Black Halo Cut-Out Back Shift Dress , recently donned by The Hills star, Audrina Patridge , would be a fabulous option for you.

With a white pleated v-neck bodice contrasted by a green waist band and fitted black pencil bottom, the dress aims to accentuate curves in all the right places. Also, the trendy colour-blocked sections serve to proportion the body in a very flattering way , drawing attention to the waist-line and upper body.

To tone down or balance out the look a bit, make sure the hem hits at or slightly below the knee (unlike the hiked-up version that Audrina rocked). £205, Available online at asos.com.
