Look Back

September 7, 2015


For many people, when asked about someone else's standout features, they often respond with body parts such as eyes, lips, collarbones, or jawlines - which are all features that I find particularly attractive too; however, one of my favorite body parts is the back.

To me, the back is an extremely beautiful body part that many people tend to overlook.

The back is responsible for your posture, and it reveals so much about you - which I find so intimate. It reveals how vulnerable you are when you’re all curled up and your spine is visible. It screams how proud you are when it’s tightened and straight. And how it curves to envelope another person when you give them an authentic hug.

A bare back is also a part that can be extremely alluring, mostly because it’s a body part that’s least unexpected to be sexy. The way I see it, a bare back is not only more beautiful, but powerful than any cleavage or any other types of societal claimed standards of beauty traits.

It is because of this that backless shirts and dresses will always make a louder statement to me than those with a deep plunge neckline.
