The make-sure-he-watches-you-walk-away dress

About a quarter of the men I've known claim to be "leg men." Another quarter say they favor the bottom. The more honest quarter say breasts, and the last 25% is made up of "face guys," "feet men," "stomach lads" and even a few "hair fellas."

And though I've never met a proclaimed "back man," I know for a fact when a woman wearing a dress that draws attention to her toned, sculpted, bare back walks into or out of a room, God might as well have pressed "pause."

Time. Literally. Stands. Still.

As with most styles, these dresses aren't for everyone. Women with back-chub, bacne and longer-than-normal back fuzz need to avoid these and other back-highlighting frocks at all costs. Additionally, women who possess large chests that have lost their perk should steer clear, for most of these dresses allow at most stick-on support.

The majority of the dresses I've put together here are of the evening variety, but there are just as many or more during-the-day sundresses that will afford you the opportunity not only to show off your deltoids but your year-round moisturizing and recent poolside efforts as well.

Enjoy!
