We’re big fans of dresses at GLAMOUR HQ. This summer, one of our fave styles to emerge is cut out dresses. From our fave high street brands to the fanciest designer retailer, everyone has fallen for the allure of conceal and reveal cutaway details.

Physically, flashing some skin feels deliciously fresh - at least it does when you’re more used to being covered up in a tracksuit - and psychologically the trend taps into a bigger need for freedom post-lockdown. It’s a pretty basic metaphor. Cutaway details echo the trend for sexy dressing that fashion buyers are focusing on this season and beyond (Heads-up: cut out details are a mainstay of SS22’s trends too.)

We’ve spotted Dua Lipa looking flames in a printed cut out mini-dress on holiday along with Paris-based blogger Slip Into Style, who always inspires our outfit planning. If you want to cut out and keep this season’s freshest trend, these are some of styles we are properly Into.

Even though cut out dresses were one of 2021’s break-out trends, they've followed us into summer 2022 - shop carefully and you can wear the style forever. Black dresses are always a forever fashion choice. ASOS EDITION's cut out dress is complemented by another trend we're seeing everywhere at the moment (puff sleeves) as well as rib-cage cutaways. H&M have a rhinestone-embellished iteration and Alice + Olivia's maxi version is an influencer favourite already.

ASOS have a chic linen-look dress in a soft stone tone while Jacquemus has a bright pink offering with subtle slashes around the waistline. If you have a bigger budget to invest, Alexander McQueen's neon yellow dress will be a forever buy.
