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.
