Perhaps the most feminine element of the wardrobe is the dress. It was previously thought, and modern stylists adhere to the same opinion. There are a great many models and styles of various dresses, among which a dress with a bare back occupies a separate place. It adorns a woman, gives charm and sophistication, but not everyone goes. In the article, we consider in more detail which options for such a dress are fashionable.
A bit of history
For the first time the world saw a dress with a bare back in the 20s of the past century. At that time, a style called "Garcon" was in demand among the young ladies. Girls with a magnificent bust “camouflaged” their virtues by means of ruffles and flounces, and also stretching underwear was used. At the same time, the back remained open. This style of clothing was especially popular in the 1930s. This fact is easily confirmed by the abundant presence of similar styles in films of that time.
World movie stars fell in love with both a cropped dress with a bare back and a floor length. However, it is worth noting that the actresses did not put such a thing on a naked body, but combined it with a special bodice, whose straps were hidden below. So, Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo, Norma Shearer with pleasure wore light and delicate dresses with a decent neckline on their backs.
How to wear?
A beautiful outfit with a bare back has always been a sign of sex appeal and femininity. Original models skillfully combine grace and a certain intrigue, and the dresses themselves boast both frankness and inaccessibility. However, before you get yourself such a dress, you should pay attention to not a few nuances.
The first is the condition of the skin. Since the back will be almost completely open, they will even involuntarily pay attention to it. And if there is redness or some kind of rash, then self-confidence in this outfit will be missed. Secondly, the figure is of great importance. Slender girls have nothing to fear - they can wear a dress with a bare back at any event. As for the overweight ladies, the fat folds at the waist during a turn will create an unpleasant impression, and the image will remain spoiled. In this case, it is better to opt for a minimum cutout. The third factor is correct posture. Only with a graceful gait will such a dress look attractive, and the stooped look and fallen shoulders will create a dissonance.
The last, but especially important nuance is the correct underwear. Girls in dresses with a bare back look very impressive if you choose the right bra. An invisible bust, a silicone model or a bra without straps are suitable here. Sometimes it is allowed to wear an outfit with an open back with traditional bras, but only if the linen is made of high-quality lace or satin.
The lineup
Modern designers offer a wide variety of silhouettes, among which absolutely any young lady can choose for herself a suitable option. Photos of dresses with bare backs on the websites of fashion magazines and stores demonstrate a high demand for such styles. Basically, these are large cutouts that are decorated with bows, folds, rhinestones, etc. Options that have cutouts present in the area of the shoulder blades and waist in traditional shapes or in the form of figures look rather elegant. The unusual shape visually adds harmony. Often on television screens (in films and commercials) you can see dresses in which the back opens almost to the buttocks. In life, a woman dressed in this way will look defiant and even vulgar.
For everyday wear, designers offer mostly summer styles with a bare back and a full skirt. In this outfit, if it is still made of light flowing fabric, the sultry heat is transferred without problems.
There are models for ladies who are embarrassed to bare their backs. Here, the creators go to the trick and make inserts at the back of transparent lace, which gives the image modesty and flirty.
Wedding fashion
For several years now, a wedding dress with a bare back has been winning the hearts of fashionistas, because it is a skillful combination of tenderness, sophistication and style.
Today, a number of fashion designers focus on the bare back in their collections. So, the Israeli designer Berta Bridal creates amazing outfits for brides. Traditionally, you will not see too much pretentiousness and huge magnificent skirts in them. It can be a delicate guipure dress, emphasizing the grace of a girl at her most important celebration. A similar image is best suited to slender young ladies - in them they look like porcelain figurines.
Also fashionable houses such as Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana and others can boast of wedding clothes. Some authors of dresses offer brides a monochrome long dress in the floor with a decor on the back in the form of crossed ribbons. A simple neckline can be replaced with delicate lace inserts.
Evening dresses
If you plan to go out, then an evening dress with a bare back will be a winning option. Choose the style of this outfit should be based on the format of the event. So, often bridesmaids put on long evening dresses with a bare back to match the general atmosphere of the holiday. In this case, the choice of girls falls on bright colors: coral, pink, turquoise, as well as blue, lilac, burgundy. The skirt in such a dress is usually flared from the hip or from the knee. As for the fabric, chiffon is very popular in evening fashion.
A classic of the party genre was a black dress with a bare back. This model is bright in itself, so neutral dark tones are great. For a corporate meeting, it is appropriate to wear a dress with a small neckline and knee-length.
Prom dress
A separate cohort are dresses for the prom. Girls choose their choice very carefully and sometimes six months before the celebration. Now the trend is prom dresses with a bare back, made of elegant material (silk, velvet, guipure). Given the age of graduates of schools and lyceums, designers create beautiful, but not vulgar styles. Usually the back is not completely exposed, but ribbons, bows and other decor are added. The color scheme of dresses varies from white to blue-black. Black models with silver jewelry look interesting. If the girl is involved in ballroom dancing, then a light flowing dress on the floor with a small neckline on her back is ideal for this evening.
How to choose the right one?
When choosing a dress should be guided by several principles. First of all, it is necessary to emphasize the dignity of the figure and hide the “defects”. Despite the fact that the emphasis on the bare back in the dress speaks of elegance and pronounced style, most of these dresses are suitable exclusively for slim ladies.
Long dresses with a bare back fit perfectly on tall girls of model appearance. But for young ladies with small stature, it is better to pay attention to a sheath dress midi length. There are a lot of options for cutouts: to the waistline or to the level of the shoulder blades, in the form of a triangle, square, in the shape of a heart, drops, etc. Outfits decorated with lacing, drapery, rhinestones, stones are popular.
Petite women can afford dresses with bare backs short. However, it is worth remembering that if the length of the product is mini, then the neckline should not be too prominent, otherwise a vulgar image will turn out. Looks mysteriously dresses closed completely in front, with a long sleeve and with a bare back.
Owners of curvaceous shapes are suitable for small cutouts on the back, as well as deep and narrow. With the right cut, the overall appearance will be attractive for one hundred percent.
Stylist Tips
To get the perfect look and look amazing, stylists give a few recommendations:
- You should choose a model of simplified cut, without an abundance of decor and various massive details.
- Consider the occasion. If you plan a trip to a social event, then a deep neckline is appropriate, but if you plan a simple walk with friends in the park, choose a short one and a length of up to the knees.
- It is better to wear less jewelry so that the back in your image plays a major role.
- If you have doubts about the color, it is best not to experiment with brightness. Give preference to monophonic classic dresses.
- It is necessary to take into account the appearance and its color type, so as not to be mistaken with the shade of the outfit.
- No less important is matter. For important events, dress is required, and for everyday wear, usual knitwear is suitable.
What to combine with?
The refined image, in which the emphasis is on the bare back, should be complemented very carefully. The main rule is not to overdo it, since the cutout already takes on all the attention of others. You can restrict yourself to such accessories as long earrings, a discreet ring and a thin bracelet. Carefully choose the shoes. Better if it will be sandals or stilettos. But from the stoles and scarves should be abandoned so that they do not take away attention from the back. If a lady is afraid to freeze at the event, then you can bring a coat, coat or cardigan.
Hairstyles
With hair styling, it makes sense to experiment and choose the most suitable hairstyle for the image. According to stylists, the most advantageous option here is high and beautifully styled hair. You can also open the neckline with a hairstyle on your side, which will give the look femininity. And loose hair is not recommended, as they will cover the whole highlight in the form of a cutout.
What other hairstyles are suitable? An excellent solution would be an elegant French braid, spikelet, hooter or bunch. If the hair is short, you can make cute curls. In this case, you need to focus on the shape of the face and skin color. Skillfully selected hairpin or bright hairpins for hair - and the image is ready.
