Hi beauties, The number one trend I noticed at Coachella this year was crop tops, crop tops, more crop tops and little bralette tops. If the thought of baring your mid-drift this summer feels scary don't worry, I have a few easy tips to keep you looking chic and feeling confident.

1. Pair your crop with high rise bottoms. I don't know about you guys but the bottom half of my stomach isn't my favourite body part to show off. By wearing a pair of high rise denim, shorts or skirt you'll hide that area and highlight your waist and sexy curves.

2. Cover your belly button. There's a difference between a belly top and a cropped top. The Spice Girls wore belly tops with low rise bottoms. Not the look we're going for. The goal isn't to show off your entire bod, I think 2 inches is probably a good guideline.

3. Working this lingerie-inspired trend into your off-duty wardrobe without revealing too much skin is easy as long as you know how to layer. I wore this LBB (little blk bra) over the weekend under my go-to oversized blazer. Pairing super sexy pieces that show off the female form with an unexpected androgynous item like an oversized blazer strikes the perfect balance between elegance and bravery.
