STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Look Back At It

October 13th, 2015 at 2:00am

Obviously when choosing an outfit we think about how good it should look from the front, but clothes deserve to look good from the back too. We’ve all seen the deep V’s and lace-up fronts but the new trend is detailed backs.

Here in South Carolina, even when the sun sets and you try to convince yourself that you’ve escaped the heat of the day, the warmth really never stops. While some people, including myself, love that it’s hard to find a chilly night, the weather doesn’t exactly allow you to wear those sweaters you bought last year but haven’t had the opportunity to show off yet. Thankfully, this new trend can help. Back details allow you to be comfortable and classy while still adding interest and breathability to an outfit. Whether you are feeling adventurous and opt for a totally open back or a more conservative (yet still fashionable) option, this trend is great for everyone. This is also super convenient for the girls who have discovered how comfortable AND cute bralettes are because now you don’t have to wear awkwardly low-cut shirts to show them off.

Open back tops can be paired with almost anything, since they have the look of a basic from the front. This Fashionista chose a subtle back detail that still adds comfort and interest. She paired this with some dark skinny jeans to balance out the patterned top and finished with a rose gold Michael Kors watch and nude sandals.
