Exposed stomach: Spring/Summer 2009 fashion trend
Written by Daniel P Dykes
Get out your credit cards and book a gym membership ladies because, as if muffin top wasn't a scary enough prospect, here comes the Spring/Summer 2009 exposed midriff fashion trend.
Even as a I write this, I worry about how drastically wrong an exposed waist fashion trend may just go. Certainly, even though it evokes a tad too much of the 1980s for me to be truly comfortable, it looks hot on the catwalks; but you could put a garbage a garbage on supermodels and they'd still make it look sexual.
Who Should Wear The Trend
Skinny girls only.
I don't mean to cause a body-image crisis here, but let's face facts: hipster jeans ended up so low that on many a girl they were a pure turn off, as opposed to the wardrobe revolution we were promised. And it'll be much the same for the 2009's exposed waistline look.

How To Wear It
Only following a thousand sit-ups each morning.
Paired with other statement pieces, particularly other Spring/Summer 2009 fashion trends. The reason being that, alone, an exposed stomach may come off looking nothing short of tarty; paired with another fashion trend, however, and you're going to look fashion forwards.
There are two other trends that seem to have worked particularly well with this trend on the catwalks; the 1970's revival and the see-through fashion trend.
