There are trends I look at wistfully and imagine my 20something year old, pre-children self OWNING it.  

A decade and 2 children later I leave the belly-baring, midriff gazing to those who do crunches for breakfast or who are naturally blessed with a buff torso. (Am I jealous? Ok, yep I am a bit)

I love this trend. Adore it. I love how you can mix a high-end luxe look and fuse it with the sporty element. It’s just so, interesting. And not just for teenagers I might add. If you’ve got it flaunt it, however there is an age limit on this…

The rule of crop dressing for the chic, as opposed to the “I left the rest of my clothes at home” look. 

1. Abs to die for? Then do it. Don’t? Then think twice. The golden rule of whatever skin you show, that’s where the eye travels. Whoever you meet, talk to will be looking…so be prepared.

2. A longer length on the bottom half is my ideal. After all, the lady is NOT a tramp.

3. Shirt over the top. If you like the look but are not quite brave enough to wear it on its own, a sheer, silk or cotton shirt is a good option. Unbutton it as low as you feel comfortable to go.
