Dare to Bare

Another trend that was on the Spring/Summer 2012 runway: Bare midriffs. This trend has been off and on just like most trends, but is still a tricky one. Midriff baring is a look that can easily go wrong. It can be a very thin line between stylish and trashy.

Before jumping on the ab baring band wagon be sure to have what it takes to join the ride. Love handles? Stretch marks? Scars? Please pass on this one, there are a million and one trends and this isnt one for you. Proportions also should be considered with this look,really short shorts and a bandeau top may come across as trashy even if that wasn’t your intention. Try as much as possible to cover otherĀ  body parts to a reasonable extent if you decide to bare your abs… well except you are on the beach or at the pool.

Though this trend leans more to the casual/edgy side, a sophisticated look can be achieved with proper styling. Stomach worth showing? Check. Proper proportions? Check. A good dose of confidence? Check…. Don’t forget t cover that belly button! Well then what are you waiting for? This trend is for you.
