Designers sent their sashaying models down the spring runways exposing their taut tummies in cropped tops. It may be a trend that has most of us groaning, but there are ways to enjoy the look, even if you don't do 1,000 crunches per day or have Jennifer Lopez's trainer or amazing abs. First off, you can copy Scarlett Johansson and wear a higher waisted skirt with a minimally cropped top. Or try cropped tops layered over another shirt. The best way to pull off this trend is to be a little demure with it, both by how much skin you expose at your middle and by what you pair with it (don't go skimpy elsewhere). Who knows, you might find yourself enjoying cropped styles more than you originally thought possible.
