I always love this look on the runway, but it rarely translates well in real life, except the exposed shoulder...that always looks hot!

stylefrontier said...

wow love this cutout look! gorgeous inspirations. thanks for sharing

Tights Lover said...

Love these looks. The Balmain and the Gucci are super hot!

Intrinsically Florrie said...

I love the Allude dress- the colours so pretty and just that little bit of shoulder on show is just a teensy bit provocative without straying anywhere near vulgar. Me likey. And most women have lovely shoulders but some of the other dresses just wouldn't work on my figure. There are some other very pretty ones though I would love to wear.

chic femme said...

I love these looks. Very cute. I think the cutout look is so sexy it shows some skin without being too overly showy. :)

lorenabr said...

Vicki said...

Shay said...

these dresses are lovely, but it's so, so hard to find a dress with good (non-trashy) cut out details at a lower price point for some reason...c'mon H&M let's go! ;)

the baby blue dress rocks... always been a fan of cut out... the more flesh the better...

Leeann @ Join the Gossip said...

A lot of these designs are a little much for me, but I do like the Jasper Conran and Versace looks =)

Don't know about the side cut out ones! too much to hide in that area LOL

BonBon Rose Girls Kristin said...

How hot is that swimsuit?? WOW!

Mom Fashion World said...

i remember , my DIY cutout leggings.
i guess it's time for me to wear it again.

S.Elisabeth said...

Ah gorgeous, I absolutely adore cut outs. I think it comes from swimming. With competitive swim suits, the only way to really get cool style is with the cut outs on the back.

Content Director - Strong Female Leaders said...

This is a very sexy style! Love the swimsuit, btw!

Pixel Wild Child said...

Are they trying to save on fabric due to the crisis? or applying the "less is more" thought? These colthes are fun but in many cases not so wearable I think... great post!

Etrapar said...

I don't like Christopher Kane but all that black dresses are really nice ^.^

mAdi*cakes said...

I love the Kinder Aggugini and the bathing suit! The color is amazing! I wish I could wear a bathing suit like that. haha. I tried one on this past summer...I am a petit one but am blessed and needless to say, I think my boobs almost knocked my own eyes out much more someone else's. LOL!

I think this would make for a good diy though maybe to a dress or tee. TFS!

Imogen said...

Some very interesting designs here. My favourite types of cut outs are usually at the shoulders or at the back.

Jill said...

I love the dragon fly dress. Just enough cut outs.

Beth Connolly said...

Fabulous!
