At New York Post Shopping, there’s nothing we love more than a good dress.
From cocktail dresses and white dresses to wedding guest dresses and Amazon dresses under $50, we simply can’t get enough.
But, we’re always gung-ho for new trends that turn heads. So naturally, we’re into cut-out dresses that we deem will transcend past spring 2023.
Available at numerous retailers from Amazon to Lulus, we pulled the 17 best cut-out dresses that are guaranteed to turn heads.
Whether you have an upcoming graduation party or an upscale date night, our list of cutout dresses will work for a variety of occasions. While you’re at it, pick up some of our favorite comfortable heels to complete the look.
Simple to dress up and down, Acelitt’s Hollow-Out Bodycon Dress is well-priced at $22 and comes in a variety of colors to choose from. Plus, we love the ruched detailing at the bottom, making it great for vacation-wear.
Perfectly flowy (and with a feminine edge), Zesica’s Halter Neck Cut-Out Maxi Dress is a sight for a sunny day. Whether you have an outdoor party or fancy brunch with girlfriends, this style is hard to resist.
First off, we adore the bow detailing right above this dress cut-out. Second, we can’t get over the button-embossed, neutral pattern that’s sure to garner several compliments. Paired with your favorite designer clutch, this less-than-$35 dress is a steal.

As far as cut-out dresses go, there’s none quite like Abercrombie’s Satin Pleated Cutout Maxi Dress. The sky blue color is coveted, the pleats are regal-leaning and its subtly sexy plunge is next-level. It comes in a widespread color variety, too, and is worth the splurge.
We’re all about the elegant evening flair. The Aidan by Aidan Mattox One-Shoulder Crepe Cutout Gown will garner tons of compliments, has minimalist charm and comes in other vibrant, match-all colors as well. That said, it’s worth the formal-wear splurge.
Hello, emerald! We can’t get over H:ours’ Haydon Dress — a magnificent color with a flattering spaghetti-strapped bodice that’s irresistible to pass up. Not to mention, it hugs in all the right places.
If you’re looking for casual side cut-out details, the Lulus Perfect Day Cutout Tie-Front Mini Dress is one of your best bets. Not only is its punchy pink great for any occasion (*cough cough*, backyard party) but it’s ideal for a date night or a night out with friends.
Ruching aside, we’re head-over-heels about this astonishing number from Anthropologie. The Selkie Ruffle-Neck Cutout Dress is optimal for the summertime months and has a front cut-out design that we can’t stop glossing over. In short, it’s a splurge worth making.
Simple and flattering, Floerns Cut-Out Plus Bodycon Dress is just $30 but looks hundreds more. With a low-key cut-out detailing that adds a little somethin’ something to your otherwise plain little black dress, we’re all for it.
