For many, this is around the time each year when we stow away the winter coats and fleece things and start shopping for new summer dresses. Since we didn’t really have anywhere to wear dresses these past couple of summers, many are predicting that revenge dressing and the subsequent return to dressing up will be not just the norm this summer but also more prevalent than ever. This explains why there have been more than a few dresses popping up on my Instagram feed, many of which are pretty risqué.
These controversial dress microtrends may not be for the faint of heart, but they will get plenty of likes on Instagram (until they can actually be worn for a fun night out). Disclaimer: If skin-exposing dresses aren’t your thing, these dresses may not be your thing. But if they are, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to find out which controversial dress trends are heating up for summer and to shop chic options for each style.
