We love how more and more women are learning to embrace their bodies. A new trend we see among our stylish influencers nowadays are sexy and sultry backless tops. But not to be confused with your typical halter and bikini-type pieces, this back-baring trend has some strings attached—quite literally.
Christopher Esber's Wire Back dress is a fave among fashion girls all over the world.
Designers like Victoria Beckham and Christopher Esber have dipped their toes into this micro trend that dates back to the '90s with minimalist pieces that are part-hubadera, part-business glam. Coined as the “flossing” or “lace-up” trend by the fashion folk, it’s possibly the most wearable and trendiest piece to add to your wardrobe since we live in the tropics.

Here are 5 brands and designers where you shop the sexy backless tops you’ve been seeing all over Instagram:
1. Undo Studio (@undostudio_)
An influencer favorite, Undo Studio offers a chic backless wrap-around top made out of linen. Called the “Jess,” it’s a top that’s both breezy and comfortable to wear, making it a go-to look in this humid weather. Jeline Catt took this top to a museum visit and her Instagram photos were so bomb.

2. Subsurface (@subsurface.tv)
Angelique Manto brought this daring Subsurface ivory silk top and visible thong pants for her recent beach trip to Boracay. If you’re into some very delicate and minimalist lines, this tiny lace-up piece will definitely show off your back without much hindrance. Subsurface is the brand to shop if you’re into neutral earth tones. Also, keep an eye out for this outfit combo as we’re predicting that it’ll blow up come 2021!

A part of Luxesaint’s Rumah loungewear line, the Kapo dress is simple but sensual. Make this your go-to backless dress when you’re in the mood for a sweet evening dinner by the beach with your beau or simply wear it even if you’re just lounging at home. Rhea Bue is a big fan—and take it from us, you should be, too!

4. Love, Ara Clothing (@loveara.ph)
If you are into matching loungewear, this will give you a fresh update. Love, Ara’s version of a backless top is quite modest at the front but unabashedly bold at the back. The interesting peek-a-boo detail sets this look apart and we love the tie-strung detail that sits on your lower back. This casual yet still sexy 'fit was styled with ease by Trisha Diaz De Rivera, who pulled her hair back into a braid to show off the statement cutout detail.
