spring & summer 2012 trend spotting : the crop top is back!
Caitlin Surakitbanharn
ladies, this winter is not going to be the time to take a break from the gym. the spring/summer 2012 fashion month is long underway and a major trend has emerged ...the crop top back!
Pucci
Oscar de la Renta - evening wear with an exposed midriff is a new level of fabulous.
Prada
Timo Weiland
Versace
the bare midriff makes its way into every occasion - day wear, evening wear, and even paired with a pair of shorts or happily embellished pencil skirt... so start hitting abs class this winter! your stomach will be making an appearance come Spring!
i am personally obsessed with the idea of a closet full of crop tops & pairing a bandeau with a pencil skirt...but i'm not sure it will translate to the streets next spring. the average woman isn't necessarily comfortable with baring her midriff...so whether or not this trend will sit well with the masses is yet to be decided. the fashion set, however, has surely already started their diets!
