Alas, the resort collections designers are showing now won’t be in stores until fall, which means the only way to get those looks now is to adapt one s wardrobe. Hence the popularity of the new cropped trouser length—recently spotted on Kendall Jenner, Victoria Beckham, and Amal Clooney. On the streets of New York City yesterday, Diane Kruger put a posh spin on the style, for a look that recalled the coordinated top and skirt sets from the fifties and sixties.
Kruger keeps things in line with her Forever 21 short-sleeved striped tops and striped cropped pants, adding a micro lady bag and Nicholas Kirkwood fuchsia stiletto sandals for a subtle feminine touch. Worn together, the pieces make a polished statement, but to extend the life of the look, try pairing the trousers with a thin layering turtleneck for a Jean Seberg moment or, come fall, with a chunky knit and brogues for a new take on borrowing from the boys.
