The chicest way to flash a little flesh without feeling totally exposed, cut-out detailing is the subtle way to do sexy this season.
Inspired by the spring/summer 2022 catwalks – where designers such as David Koma, Supriya Lele and Stella McCartney presented Noughties-style dresses and jumpsuits with slashes and holes all over the place – the high street’s summer collections offer a more wearable take on the peekaboo look.
Got lots of parties and events coming up? A floaty frock in a summery shade is always a winner.
