PEEK-A-BOO LACE We see you, Carven and Eva Mendes! Like the old schoolyard game, these playful styles are coming out of hiding this season. IMAXTREE; MICHAEL SIMON/STARTRAKSPHOTO.COM 4. LEATHER DRESSES Leather, for summer? Yes! Take a page from Proenza Schouler and Emmy Rossum: The cold weather fabric can work just as well when the mercury rises-as long as you keep your silhouette airy and colors light.

CROPPED TOPS Show as little (or as much) skin as you’d like-the secret to scoring chic looks like Balenciaga and Elizabeth Banks’s is all in the proportions. An A-line skirt is a demure addition to a denim halter, or pair a mini and boxier blouse if you dare. GETTY IMAGES (2); LIA TOBY/WENN.COM 6. BACKLESS DRESSES Business in the front, party in the back. Nothing gets things started like Azzaro and Kate Mara’s dramatic cutouts. Talk about a big reveal! SPONSORED STORIES
