Style Spotlight: Peekaboo Cutouts
Peekaboo cutouts are the perfect way to flaunt a little sexy summertime skin without going overboard!
If you're usually more modest with your fashion choices, this trend is ideal because you don’t necessarily have to reveal a ton to pull off the effortless, flirty vibe of this style. If you choose wisely, you can accentuate your best features, while still downplaying any problem areas. You can also opt to layer underneath. You’ll still highlight the detail without being too risqué.
And the best part about strategic cutouts? The mystery! It’s always more enjoyable when you don’t give everything away all at once, right?

Country superstar Taylor Swift modeled this trend impeccably at the ACM Awards back in April. The singer’s J. Mendel ivory crop top with cutout shoulder slits is textbook for these warmer months. She paired it with a slinky black skirt with a thigh-high slit, but this could also work with high-waisted jeans or cutoffs for a more relaxed feel.
If you’re interested in the crop top peekaboo look, here are some awesome options without the designer price tag. The white Asymmetric Cutout Crop Top from Bebe is very similar to T. Swift’s and screams summertime fun. Nasty Gal also has some sassy selections—the Dig Deep Crop Top, the Crossed Out Crop Top, the Alter Crop Top and the Max Out Crop Top are some of our favorites.
If you’re still a bit wary, ease yourself in slowly with peekaboo jewelry and shoes! They’re super simple and extremely versatile. Opt for these bright orange Fulginiti peep-toe booties from Aldo to add a pop of color to any outfit.
Cutout bangles like these gold ones from Wet Seal and Sole Society will complement every ensemble without breaking the bank!
