Hot or Not: Exposed Zippers
In my mind, one of the best trends of the past year has been the exposed zipper. On the runways and in retail stores, this trend has shown up at various price points. Ranging from chic mini dresses with an exposed backzipper to zippered gladiators to zipper inspired jewelry, here are someof my faves to get in on this zippered action...

Oscar de la Renta silk draped blouse, Net-a-Porter
(blog inspiration from Couture Carrie's post)

David Lerner zippered leggings, Shop Bop
Love these back "pockets".

Juicy Couture zipper bateau dress, Saks
Change the look by zipping or unzipping neckline.

Tracy Feith for Target, Target
Cheap and effortless summer chic.

LNA, Shop Bop
Comes in 6 other colors!

Marc by Marc Jacobs zipper pull earrings, Saks
Also comes in gold.

Zippered front tunic, Forever 21
More cheap chic.

MICHAEL Michael Kors 'Berkley' sandal, Nordstroms
Been lusting after this sandal for a while...now on sale.

What do you think about exposed zippers? Hot or not?

I like zippers showing, depending on where the zippers are.

In general, I vote not. They look okay on some things, but I would prefer if they stayed out of sight.

Exposed zippers can look good at times, but most of the time I think I prefer hidden.

Looks terrible on the target dress but I think it looks okay on the others.

The zipper that goes straight down the front of the dress is tacky and cheap. The girl can slip in and out of it easily "when needed".
