Snaps of Sexy Street Style: From Behind
Sexy's back on the streets!
We see plenty of bare backs on the streets, particularly in the summertime. Why not? It’s perhaps the best way to make a dramatic exit while staying cool in the heat *wink. Well, hey, isn’t it great to be in a seemingly simple laid-back get-up, then make others do a double-take when they see the delightful surprise of the back detail on the outfit? Our street stylistas are quite enjoying it; obviously loving being admired from behind.
This trend from the streets may have inspired the runway and the red carpet. Or is it the other way around? Whichever way, but as far as we know, it’s quite big. A number of our clever designers and celebrities have made us crane our necks to catch a good last view of the back. Our favourites are featured below.
