12 luxury cut-out trends in your wardrobe to love this Summer 2022

Last year’s hot girl summer trend was both a sartorial and philosophical statement.

One of the key fashion trends that emerged from that moment – cut-out clothing – is still hot for the 2022 spring and summer season. And we’re pleased to report that there are many ways to wear it that aren’t as risqué as you’d think.

3. Jonathan Simkhai

With a casual henley cardigan styling and a cheeky cut-out,  this rib knit midi dress strikes a balance between cozy and sexy. We’d dress it down with sneakers during the day and a wedge heel for going out.

4. Faithfull the Brand

The cottage core floral and linen fabrication make this style seem like a dreamy dress that the heroines of Bridgerton might wear to the countryside. The cut-out at the waist keeps it modern and fresh (so it doesn’t look too costume-y).
