It’s easy to mistake your feelings of bold and confident and translate it into a fashion faux-paus. Two talented ladies that we caught committing fashion suicide were Vanessa Hudgens and Lana Del Ray rocking the crop top sans high-waisted jeans look. There is no reason to deem crop tops a style of the past as long as your remember to pair your favorite flirty top with high-waisted denim. Hudgens was wearing J Brand “1046″ cut off shorts in Blue Bonnet and Del Ray took a stab at styling some Wrangler Jess Jeans. Fashionistas beware, don’t say we didn’t warn you!

The Joe’s Jeans spring 2012 lookbooks for men and women are out, and it looks like a clean, casual look is in order. The women’s line is a bit more rock’n'roll with some ripped open knees and dangerously short hemlines. Even well-behaved silhouettes like the high-waisted dark wash skinny and fire-red flare-leg are oozing sex appeal. The men’s line plays it more safe, with preppy colors, nautical stripes, and some great basics knits.
