An open back can completely change a simple garment by shifting the focus from print or colour to cut and construction.

The detail appears across dresses, jumpsuits, tops and beachwear, ranging from a small opening to designs that leave most of the back exposed. Ties, crossed straps and halter necklines provide structure while becoming part of the design themselves.

Natural and handmade details work particularly well with this silhouette. Crochet panels, knotted cords, shells and textured trims can add interest around the neckline or across the back without covering the openness of the garment.

The balance of the outfit is important. A dramatic open back usually works best with a relatively simple front, allowing one construction detail to remain the focus. Long trousers, flowing skirts or loose silhouettes can also balance the amount of exposed skin.

Accessories can follow the same principle. A wide woven hat, scarf tied into the hair or a pair of statement earrings adds detail without competing with the garment.

From a cotton jumpsuit to a crochet summer top, the open-back silhouette is a recurring design element that works particularly naturally within bohemian fashion.
