Vibrant & Versatile Low Back Summer Dresses

When shopping for low-back summer dresses, don’t be afraid to opt for color too! Vibrant hues and chic scoop backs are both on-trend for summer and, if you ask us, they’re a match made in heaven! For example, the Thaddea maxi dress by Amanda Uprichard ticks every box. Firstly, its low-back and barely-there spaghetti straps guarantee a wow moment when you turn around. Secondly, its bright fuchsia hue, sweetheart neckline, thigh-high split, and tiered maxi skirt create an eternally flattering silhouette. Finally, this dress can be styled up or down depending on the occasion. So, wear it with flats for daytime events, or dress it up with heels after dark.

Meanwhile, lovers of color (us) will adore the striped midi dress by Hope For Flowers. It has a multi-colored, multi-directional stripe design that’s beautifully unique and perfect for this time of year. Additionally, the shirred waist, functional pockets, and low, criss-cross back make it a design everyone will want to slip into. Style it with flat lace-up sandals or pop on a pair of colorful heels to accentuate the print for events!
