Red Carpet Crush: Selena Gomez's Crop Tops

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably noticed crop tops are back in full force. Starlets have been dabbling in the trend since last summer, but we're totally digging the lady-like yet youthful take Selena Gomez has been gracing the carpets with.

The trick to keeping the look classy like Selena is to show only a sliver of skin by pairing the crop top with a high waisted skirt or shorts. This can be surprisingly flattering because it exposes the narrowest part of your torso, creating an hourglass illusion. If you want a more modern and youthful look try playful shapes, vivid colors, and mixed textures.
