Spring 2012, the anorak as seen at Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs, Rag& Bone, Edun and Jason Wu made every girl obsesses with it, and now it make its way to every wardrobe this summer. They fit in with summer’s sporty vibe on the beach and promise to make your rainy days look chic. Are you looking for an alternative to a trench coat this spring? Imagine putting away your heavy rain coat or winter coat and enjoy fashion in pretty color and prints. So, how could you not love them?

When you hear the term anorak you might not think that this is a fashion garment, but this season, this sporty and practical jacket is right under spotlight. It’s stylish, comfortable and, oh, versatile enough to be worn with jeans, skirts or dresses, it’ll take you right through to fall without wonder, how convenient!  While keeping you extra warm on chilly days, they still maintain the feminine look with their drawstring waist. This jacket is the perfect go-to when you want to become stylish instantly without preparing too much in casual cases.

A small tip when you want a chic look when it comes to wearing the anorak – always go for a neutral tone anorak for maximum versatility as it fits perfectly with any color or print. You can pair it with either a skinny distressed jeans or a cute pair of shorts and flat boots. This summer, team your anorak with a pair of tailored shorts and a pair of boater shoes for a preppy look. For short waisted anoraks, high waisted pants or jeans would complement them well, or you could pull it of with a well printed skirt or shorts. Plus a cowl neck scarfs to add an edge. If you’re dealing with long anoraks then long scarfs can give your anorak an edge, leggings and a belt around the waist is great for a light anorak. You might achieve a strange look by team long anorak with high knee stocks and boots. Let yourself be creative.

Trend Alert: The Cropped-Tops

It’s so enviable that the cropped tops appear everywhere in the celebrity’s world. The interesting thing is that besides young celebrities, who definitely love this trend, we found everyone from AnnaLynn McCord to Gwyneth Paltrow wore the cropped top design to a number of glamorous events. Believe it or not, the cropped top is making its way back in a big way and spot light.

This garment may remind you of the ’80s in a bad way, but it’s easier to wear than you think. Some of these arevery short and could work as a fancy substitution of bras…

…While others are long enough to almost cover the midriff.

Celebrities pair the cropped top with maxi or midi skirts, high-waisted skirts and pants as well as pleated skirts to avoid focusing attention on a bare stomach.The crop can be cute, flirty and definitely fun due to what you choose to team with them, and if you have a trim waistline don’t hesitate, go ahead and flaunt it. But if you’d rather cover your stomach up, try wearing a cropped top with a fitted tank top underneath, or with a high-waisted pair of shorts or a skirt.

Tips on wearing cropped tops

Pick a length. Crop tops come in a variety of shapes and lengths. Therefore depending on how daring you are, you can pick a top that shows only a sliver of your stomach or one that bares your belly. More important, when picking the length of your top, you should also consider what you’ll be wearing it with, and where you’re going as the cropped tops are not suitable for formal events.

Keep your look sporty and fresh with a cropped top T-shirt. Pair it with shorts or torn jeans for a more perfect impression.
Add a tank. You can get your crop-top vibe by wearing one with a tank underneath. You can match your tank to your crop top, try a neutral, go for a color contrast, or just wear a nude tank underneath for the illusion of skin.
Layer your cropped tops. You can spice up a long-sleeved tee or a tight dress by wearing a cropped top over it as a layering piece.

 Margherita Missoni, the gorgeous daughter of fashion royalty, wears a knitted top with a flared skirt and tights.

Cropped tops are perfect for layering. Here, an army green top is paired over a white t-shirt for added color and texture.

 This lace cropped top would be perfect for your summer. Pair it with a neutral pair of loose shorts and colorful sandals for an extra pop of color. Finish the look with a crocodile ring and feather earrings for a playful summer vibe. This outfit would be perfect for spending time at the beach or a summer music festival! The cropped top is slightly sheer which making it perfect to wear over your  bold color bikini. Go simple with classic denim shorts while add the bright bag and shoes for a fun pop of color! With the nude tank to wear underneath, this outfit is a perfect example of a classy way to wear a cropped top without ever showing skin. Team this cropped top with high-waisted bandage skirt for a classic look. This crop top has a longer length than those in the previous outfits, making it perfect for those of you who prefer a less daring aesthetic. Not only does it boast a longer back and sides for more coverage, but its cropped length is just short enough to show a sliver of stomach. Make the statement for your outfit and keep the look chic with funky accessories and metallic pair of sandals. Pull this outfit off with a loose, striped cropped top and create contrast with a fitted white bandage skirt. A pair of wedges would go well with these items, then finish the look with special accessories like this necklace and color block bangles. Loose cropped tops available in plenty colorful designs which not only adds fun pop of color but also sets you in good trend of color blocking.
