There's no doubt that dresses are my go-to during the summer months. They're the easiest one-and-done piece I can dress up or down that will keep me cool in the sweltering summer heat. While there are plenty of dress trends for the taking this summer, there is one particular style that I can't stop obsessing over whenever it flashes on my feed: open-back dresses.
