Trend: Cream of the Cropped

By Barie-Claire Rogers, April 12th, 2012

Featured by designers such as Acne, Prada, and Nina Ricci, it’s clear that the crop top has made a comeback. But this time it’s all grown up, rendered in boxier cuts and feminine fabrics. The key to making this trend work lies in the styling- cropped tops should be worn with a pair of high-waisted trousers or shorts or a maxi skirt.
