Come summer we’re all ready to shed the layers and show some skin, the last season cut-out trend is back again in even more fun and fresh ways. Cut-outs are especially great for those that prefer a more modest approach to flashing some skin with their subtle peek-a-boo effect. From bathing suits to tops and maxi dresses to sandals, you can choose to highlight that ab workout or delicate décolletage.
