6 Controversial Summer Dress Trends That Are Just Wow

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.

This explains why there have been more than a few dresses popping up on my Instagram feed, many of which are pretty risqué.

The S/S 21 runways clued us in that mini lengths would be the 2021 hemline of choice. After a year spent in sweatpants, we can't really be surprised about this one.

Low-back dresses are certainly one of the most beautiful of the controversial dress trends, and there are tons of options to choose from. I narrowed it down as best I could...
