20 Sexy Racerback Dresses and Tops to Channel Your Sporty Side This Spring

With a nod to both sportier and sexier sensibilities, the runways from Phillip Lim, Rag & Bone, Proenza Schouler, and more showcased flashes of skin with their racerback silhouettes. Our love for the back-baring cut is twofold: the heat demands a little less coverage, and these fits deliver in the coolest way possible. Now we've curated a collection of 20 favorites — dresses that feel as carefree as they do flirtatious and tops with a touch of the athletic-inspired edge. In the market for some beat-the-heat Spring-to-Summer staples? We guarantee you'll wear these pieces all season long. Click on to see and shop our favorite ways to bare a little back.
