Elise: The cropped blazer may seem really specific, but it's actually incredibly versatile. You want to look for one that's tailored, fitted up top, but hits just above the natural waistline. Upside of something that's really short up top is that it can make your legs look miles long in comparison. We're going to take you through three easy style looks.

You really want to play up the proportion of the cropped blazer by pairing it with something that's long and flowy like this blouse. This is actually great for women who maybe have curves or a bust who can't really wear anything too voluminous up top because it makes them look unnecessarily bulky and heavy, because this tailors it and then the rest flows. All in all, you look really pulled together and long and lean.

In this next look, Diana's paired the cropped blazer with a loose, flowy dress. This is a great option for women who are either long-waisted or who just hate drawing attention to their waist in general and never wear belts or anything fitted. It really goes a long way towards creating that ideal hourglass shape.

In this final look, Diana has paired the cropped blazer with a jumper, which is a really fun look, but it can be a lot because it's obviously the same thing from head to toe. This is great way to just break up that field of color without distracting from the overall effect.

We hope this helps. For more tips and tricks, come hang out with us at Beso.com.
