This is the season of the Fashion Mullet: business in the front, party in the back! Designers have been focusing on lower backs as this season's erogenous zone, drawing attention to them through variations of cut, draping, and interesting detailing. Here are five of my favorite back-bearing styles in the Hive.
#1 Moschino Low Back Satin Dress
Moschino has proven once again to be queen of the cocktail dress! I love the full coverage in the front, from the high neckline to the ruched shoulder straps, but the truly innovative part of this dress is the back. The knotting detail on the sexy low back shows off the perfect amount of structured drape.Where In The Hive: bookmark/203860
#2 Neal Sperling Twist Back Top
There's nothing better than a body-hugging knit, which Neal Sperling has taken to new heights with the back detailing on this top. The twisted back shows off beautiful drape and a sophisticated silhouette. This semi-sheer, double-layered jersey knit is the perfect piece to carry us into fall.Where In The Hive: bookmark/213113
#3 Peter Som Eugenia Dress
The Little Black Dress should be a staple in everyone's wardrobe, and Peter Som's version is absolutely sublime! With it's draped to perfection back, wear this to a cocktail party and give people a real reason to talk behind your back!Where In The Hive: bookmark/211984
#4 WAYF Open Back Sleeveless Dress
WAYF gives us a beautiful take on the usual shift dress with its low square cut back. This is certainly an elope-worthy number with it's beautiful ivory color! (Hint: Just remember to use self-tanner so you don't have any bathing suit lines on your back!)Where In The Hive: bookmark/176229
#5 ASOS Cross Back Cap Sleeve Top
The sexy back trend has even hit everyday tshirts, giving them a sexy, downtown edge. This ASOS tee is revealing in all the right places with it's cap sleeves and cross back detailing. It's sweet, feminine, and even a bit rocker chic all rolled into one. Perfection!Where In The Hive: bookmark/207276
