TIPS : HOW TO WEAR IT

My favourite cut-outs this season are those in the mid-section area on dresses in particular (if you didn't already catch that with all my picks above).  Cut-outs however are not just limited to that area, so decide where on your body you are most comfortable with exposing a bit of extra skin.  If the tummy area is a little out of your comfort zone don't sweat it!  Choose somewhere else like a long sleeve blouse with cut-outs on the shoulders,  or a cut-out on the chest with a high neck cut piece or stay covered up in the front all together and have the cut-out surprise in the back!  My final advice on this trend is although the cut-out is a sexy surprise, don't get carried away with it.  Too much is only asking for fashion slip ups.  Keeping your cut-outs more subtle leaves more to the imagination and keeps the trend tasteful.  What I mean is don't go for this go for this or this and you will remain on the best dressed list as opposed to the "what was she thinking" list.
