God-like designer for the youth, Alexander Wang, flaunted his models’ midriffs with a cut off sweater in dusty lilac – a look I think that we can all embrace (minus a few Big Macs and plus about 100 sit ups!) Forever edgy, Vivienne Westwood Red Label also picked up on the trend, giving the traditional print suit a playful twist with a cropped top matched with pencil skirt. Even Prada got in on the action, with models parading black cropped underwear as outwear, teamed with skirts and jackets, all in elegant black to keep it from looking trashy.

So embrace your inner Clueless and Saved By The Bell, and relive the youthful playfulness of the 1990s. Cropped tops can be found at Topshop in the ‘Work it’ range and at Urban Outfitters.

Now that’s what I call some good exposure!
