They say that three times makes a trend, and if that’s the case then backless shirts are quickly becoming the biggest trend this season. Yes, even though it’s fall. We were a bit shocked to see such open backs popping up despite the chilly temps, but we definitely don’t hate this trend.
Backless tops often come in long-sleeve iterations, with cute bows or strings to hold the piece together.
Kendall Jenner is a fan of the look, and now style influencers and fashion girls have been sharing their cute backless shirts on Instagram too.
Women have been wearing backless clothing for decades - with the first appearance of an open-back dress dating all the way back to the 1920s.
The look isn't nearly as risque now as it probably was back then, but we are pretty excited to see this look make its way into fall trends.
On the surface, backless shirts seem like something that belongs in the summer, but we're seeing that there are plenty of ways to show off some skin in the fall.
After all, barely-there looks are always in style, whether you're wearing slit dresses or tiny crop tops. It was only a matter of time before skin-showing outfits made their way past the summer months.
We're starting to see the open-back look move away from itty bitty napkin tops and venture into long-sleeved shirts. Some backless shirts even come in ribbed or knit fabric, which make them warm enough for fall - at least in the places that actually have material.
Paired with jeans or other long trousers, a backless top can really be a perfect look for fall.
One of our favorite ways to wear this trend is teaming a backless shirt with a pair of high-waist jeans, but another look we're loving is color-matching the top with a pair of athleisure pants.
No matter which way you sport your backless shirt, the look always comes across as effortlessly cool and impeccably stylish.
