The crop top trend that has been seen for several seasons is now taking on a high fashion twist. The new look involves less skin--a sliver of abs seen just between the cropped top and high-waisted bottoms. Celebs are sporting the revamped trend on the red carpet, bringing formality to the flirty summertime look. As long as the styling remains sophisticated and the amount of exposed skin is minimal, the look can be appropriate for a wide variety of occasions.
When trying this out for yourself, DON'T pair a skimpy top with even skimpier shorts-- DO keep the look balanced by maintaining proper coverage on the bottom.
