Crop tops for grown-ups

Fashion is ruthless in killing off perfectly nice-looking trends simply because they've become too easy and comfortable. The fashion police are feared with good reason: they will turn against us, the people, at a moment's notice. 

Take the hipbone-length waistline – as in a jacket or blazer that ends midway between waist and thigh; a sweatshirt or jumper smoothed down a cosy few inches over the waistband of your skirt, jeans or trousers; as in an untucked shirt or a suit jacket.That being said, every girl likes to know what's in style and on trend and also Wholesale Cheap New Arrival Cheap One-Shoulder A-Line Elegant Chiffon A-Line Wedding Dress styles are timeless classics. 

That's right, as in what you're wearing now.Think curvy brides can't look as fabulous in a wTulle sweatheart applique beaded ball party gown wedding dresses as their less-curvy counterparts? And what the person next to you is wearing now. The demise of the neat, body-cinching waistband in favour of a rumpled low-tide line at roughly hipbone height is a consequence of womenswear becoming more androgynous more low-rise jeans and trousers, fewer full skirts or fully tailored dresses, and both womenswear and menswear becoming more casual loose sweatshirts and untucked shirts becoming acceptable casual wear. 

One mini-rebellion against the low-tide line took the form of the enforced tucking in of shirts which, for one heady summer, became a with-us-or-against-us line in the sand drawn by hipsters.I think you should star playing the Wholesale Cheap Stunning Satin Lace Sweetheart Crystal Sexy Mermaid Wedding Dress up game, now! The new rebellion is more brutal: tucking in the bottom few inches of your top layer is no longer enough. You have to chop it off and leave it exposed. 

This season's high-flying tops end suddenly at the waist, so that the waistband of trousers or skirts is revealed. This is a grown-up version of the trend for crop tops: the silhouette is similar, but without the display of abdomen flesh. 

The wider the top at the point where it is lopped off, the more avant garde the look, so a tailored top that ends with a few inches of breathing space around the waist is a subtle take; an oversized sweatshirt sliced in half has a street-style mood. The waistband should be neat, but simple. A vest tucked into trousers to guard against flashing flesh is acceptable; a showy belt is not.
