Cut-Outs are the Look of the Moment...

Cut-outs and sheer panels are everywhere this spring and were a big hit on the spring runways.  They were shown at Louis Vuitton, Alexander Wang and Derek Lam, and the details provided by the peekaboo accents and cut-outs can make you feel demure or daring, depending on how adventurous you want to be.  For me being of a certain age, I prefer just a subtle cut-out, just enough to be edgy but stylish at the same time.  For the younger set, go as bold as you dare.  All you need is confidence to achieve this adventurous look!  Here are some of my top picks for this look.


The delicate threads that interface the panels on this all-black jersey dress give an otherwise modern silhouette a feminine accent.  Fashion-forward yet practical, this short dress transitions easily from day to night, from work to play, merely by changing up your accessories.





Give simple the boot and instead opt for a few strategic cut-outs that take this sheath from basic to statement without feeling overdone.




The bright coral hue balances out the sexy lace paneled cut-outs on this short frock, giving it a more playful vibe.  Make it day-friendly by pairing it with neutral hued oxfords and a washed-out denim jacket.





Embolden any outfit with this bright yellow fine A-line skirt.  Sheer panels give an otherwise demure silhouette a subtly sexy feel.





Sheer windows of organza give this beautiful midi skirt a very now, very wow edge!  This stunning piece will give your wardrobe instant chic appeal.





Equal parts girly and hippie-chic, this organza blouse features a beautiful flock of scattered flowers throughout.  For a more casual update, pair this stunning piece with sleek denim skinnies and blocked chunky heels.





Cool mesh panels framed in sleek metallic blue leather give these awesome heels a futuristic appeal.  Show off these killer-cool heels by wearing something short, modern and streamlined.





Flaunt your teen spirit in this grunge-inspired plaid dress.  Sheer chiffon overlay gives this effortlessly cool piece a more elegant stance that makes for an ethereal finish.
