According to the humidity index, summer is officially here, meaning it’s time to ditch the sweltering T-shirts in favor of low-dipping dresses and halter tops. Aside from inviting in the breeze, this strategy also reveals one of your most overlooked assets: your back. It’s easy to forget about a bare spine’s allure, but a rearview gaze (and a camera-adept pal) will prove what Instagram’s best stars have known all season long: The next-level selfie is a back-revealing snap.
Less in-your-face than cleavage and more forgiving than a crop top, the bare back is a tasteful hint of skin that everyone can get behind. For Daria Strokous and Frederikke Sofie, their undulating blonde lengths provide an ideal frame for their sculpted shoulders. Paige Reifler and Xiao Wen Ju reached the ultimate state of vacation bliss by giving their spines a day in the sun. Not that you need to be outside to feel the benefits: Melodie Monrose and Riley Montana seem to be plenty at ease baring theirs indoors. From Lauren Santo Domingo’s lumbar-cutout dress to Alessandra Ambrosio’s Brazilian-bombshell silhouette, here’s a look at the best backs on Instagram.
