Have you been studiously ignoring the crop top trend, hoping that if you act like it’s not going on that it will just go away?

It’s not that you don’t like them per se, it’s just that, well… the realities of baring your midriff are just not high on your ‘sure, why not?’ list.

The thing is, crop tops have so much more to offer (did you see what I did there??).

The trick is in the pairings.

Case in point: The Layered Cropped Knit.

Pick one of this seasons many cropped knits and wear it over a longer white tee or crisp, cotton shirt with your sleeves pushed back and your cuffs out for that perfect balance of super easy, really stylish and ridiculously good looking.

But maybe you’ve done such a good job ignoring them that you don’t actually own any cropped knits to layer?

Well, you’ve come to the right place!
