Trends: Cropped Tops

Spring brought on a new wave of people adventurously rocking a look that I thought was gone forever- the cropped top. I'll admit that when I first saw girls on the blog scene showing their digs cropped, I was a bit skeptical. I realize a lot of people still are. However, I am here to proclaim with conviction: They aren't so bad after all.

Think cropped shirts were strictly for reserved for the angst-filled halls of West Beverly High circa 1992? I shamelessly scoured Lookbook for some girls get it right. What I came up with? Her, her, and her.

What do they have in common that makes them work? Looser fit, length that minimizes skin showing, higher waistlines for bottoms.
