I think the only persons that should be allowed this are the ones that did not wore it the first time round, the rest of the population i hope will not even consider it.

That last picture is pretty rad, she looks stylish and not tacky.

I love it with tailored chic items, like a long circle skirt or trousers, when it's the higher part of the waist. cute and creative under a jacket like above!

For summer, I think the lower tummy is okay if pulled off correctly, a la Sienna Miller.

real life? We may not be on the same planet!

but it's street style, no? despite how "far out"

In theory, I adore this trend.. but sadly most people would probably fail miserably at it. The woman in black up there ^^, from style.com, does it really well. Revealing the top part of the stomach, like at YSL, looks amazing if one has the right attitude and the right, chic not trashy, clothes. It's sexy without being obvious or aggressive.

i think like many of you said, that in order for this to work the sliver of skin shown should be minimal...

prada did it well (not a surprise as she was the one who did it best in the nineties)..

i think the highwaisted bit is also somewhat essential (unless the look is more like the viv westwoods that adore posted)

Do. Not. Want.

Unless you're on a runway, or at a fetish club, I can't see any positive to this trend.

I love this picture of Sienna Miller, she's showing her midriff, but not too much of it, and like the style with a looser fitting top as I think it looks less contrived.

 

[hautecoco]

i'm only picturing a boxy, cropped top with something. i agree with the sliver of skin showing. in that case, i love it.

 

[subjectivism]

I see it working with something high-waisted. And like someone said, no navel s'il vous plait.

Uuuh, I quite like it. But I'm a 90s fan anyway.
