Why you should step into Summer 2021 in a backless dress Cheeky and sexy.

Summer is just around the corner; let’s celebrate the better days to come. And after long months of staying home in tracksuits and comfy tops, it is time to shake away the pandemic blues looking fabulous in a backless dress, one of the most glamorous trends you will wear in 2021.

The best way to celebrate summer is dressing up, even if you have nowhere to go. And, although the backless dress is usually associated with red carpet and gala events, fashion designers presented fantastic every-day backless looks for Spring/Summer 21. There are many reasons why you should wear backless dresses in 2021, the backless look is timeless and effortlessly chic, but at the same time, free, careless and bit provocative.

Business in the front, party in the back

Wearing a backless dress in 2021 is cheeky. While you look demure in the front, you’ll catch everyone by surprise when turning around and flaunting a bareback. This “business in the front – party in the back” look is fun to wear even if you’re alone at home.

You can have a Zoom meeting with your boss looking perfectly office-appropriated, and only you will know that in the back, you’re totally party-ready! So it’s no coincidence that the backless dress trend for spring 2021 comes on the heels of mullets, the “business in the front – party in the back” hair trend.
