Cropped tops are an emerging trend I’ve been noticing, first on the spring 09 runway, and now on pretty young things out and about. I can’t quite decide how I feel about the re-emergence of cropped tops. I think it looks cute on the girls I have seen wearing it, but at the same time still conjures up images of the not-so-cute outfits of Donna Martin. And let’s be honest, unless by some miracle I wake up with Donna Martin abs tomorrow, this trend is not exactly completely user friendly. Yet, still I am intrigued…

Should I decide that this is a bandwagon I need to jump on, a little layering goes a long way. I’ll be wearing my cropped tops a la Kate Bosworth, with a longer layer to cover the tummy. Or perhaps if I am feeling brave, and attending an event where at no time will I sit down, I’ll layer with a vest.

Keep it simple in a cropped basic tee, like this one from KAIN Label.
