Sure, there is the edgier, sexier side of the trend we've seen on everyone from Beyoncé to Lily Collins, but until now we hadn't seen crop tops look quite so sweet. Leave it to Taylor Swift and Lauren Conrad to make the skin-revealing trend feel downright demure. Each balanced her belly-baring top with a girlie, full skirt on bottom, giving the sometimes-dramatic trend a makeunder that's totally daytime appropriate. Get the details on both outfits and shop your favorites when you scroll.

Lauren Conrad

Lauren's cropped black tee is casual and cool — the kind of top that could easily go from day to night. Lauren makes it perfect for a daytime lunch with a full, flirty skirt then balances it all out with a pair of flat, walkable sandals.

Taylor Swift

Taylor usually nails the supersweet look, so we were thrilled to see her bare a little skin in this Aqua ensemble. Still, the singer keeps her separates from feeling too sexy with a flared miniskirt and a crossbody bag that's perfect for daytime.
