Prada is the Cream of the Cropped

I confess that I own a cropped leather jacket that immediately popped into my head as soon as I saw this picture from the recent Prada Fall 2013 show. Good thing I'm a hoarder and have held on to it. That's one less piece to pick up.

Playing with proportions is fun but tricky. Here are some basic tips:

YES
Your pants matter even more than before. A cropped jacket makes your legs look longer because they will get even more attention. So don't f*ck it up. I'm going to try the Prada drop crotch dress pants with the tight fit on the calves look as shown on the model.

It's okay to wear a longer shirt to play with the shortness of the jacket. But the shirt needs to fit close to the body otherwise, you'll get bunching. 

NO
Not to be a body Nazi, but let's face it. If you have a gut, this look isn't for you.

No, a crop top shirt isn't the same.

MAYBE
The only crop you like is a field of corn. To that, I say yeehaw!
