Google any of the latest trends and you'll find fashionable types giving their opinion on its greatness.
Which makes googling crop tops rather hilarious.
The fashion folk don't seem so sure about this one.
Message boards are full of questions like "are crop tops really back in fashion?" and "aren't crop tops so
80s?"
Yes and yes to both of those - but when has something from the 80s been a reason for it not to be cool?
My Google search was to find out if there were any crop top styles I could pull off.
It didn't take long to realise the answer was no, because of their common habit of showing off your belly.
Although I am considering taking Celine Rita designer Celine Chapman's advice of wearing them with a high skirt or shorts - it seems perfectly sensible getting in on the trend while keeping modesty under wraps.
Celine Rita's collection includes the "Daphine" crop top, which has to be the winner in the field this summer.
For other takes on the trend, look to your favourite young fashion stores.
Young'uns can go crazy mixing sheer, floral or lace versions with cute short shorts or harem pants.
For a more fashionable take on the trend, Celine suggests wearing crop tops over the top of a simple little dress.
For an authentic version, you're best to look at online auctions to find 1980s pieces.
Check out your favourite fashion celebs to see how they make it work - even Sarah Jessica Parker wore a tie-knot crop top with three-quarter jeans and heels in Sex and the City 2.
Elsewhere, Sienna Miller wears her greyish-purple crop top with short tan shorts and Lindsay Lohan wears her vast collection with skinny jeans and tiny denim shorts.
Looking at them is enough to have you crunching on the floor.
