Exposing your midriff can be a little bit daunting, especially if you're not 100% confident with your abs (or lack of haha) but exposing the tiniest sliver of skin between your skirt and top doesn't have to be scary.

Wearing a cropped top does not mean that you have to expose your belly button, which, to me, is the scary part! A tiny sliver of skin is all that you need to show.

Take Miranda Kerr for an example... Here she has executed the look with perfection and importantly, has done it without looking overly sexy or skanky.

This look can be as classy as they come and is a great way to break up an all-black outfit. 

Not a skirt person? Here's how I would work the trend with a pair of culottes!
