Fashion typically runs in cycles so it’s not surprising to see the Y2K period having a strong influence on today’s style — logo baby tees, low jean waistlines to expose branded undergarments. Another 90’s/00’s-inspired trend, the midriff has taken centre stage. Well, forget collarbones, thighs or décolletage of 2021 because this Spring/Summer 2022 fashion’s new erogenous zone is the torso and the midriff is back.
On the runway, Coperni, Miu Miu and even Giorgio Armani went from underboob to upper-pube — the bare midriff that is as elongated as it can with mini crop tops paired with low waist trousers. Read on as you take inspiration on how to wear the trend with these looks as you bare your midriff.
