Julianne Hough’s made-for-denim all-American style was what made her quickly rise as one of our blog’s top style stars. However, it seems like not all denim is made for her — the cropped denim shirt she wore to take her nieces out in Beverly Hills last week caused her to make a rare fashion misstep.
The shirt made Julianne Hough’s upper half look boxy and shapeless. It also made her waist appear nonexistent. And we know that having been a dancer for almost her whole life, those are simply not true about Julianne Hough! Her body hast got to be one of the most bangin’ in all of Hollywood, and for an article of clothing to fail to flatter that should be considered a punishable fashion crime.

The offending article of clothing is this faded cropped denim shirt from Topshop:
Topshop Moto Bleach Crop Denim Shirt
Surprisingly, it’s already sold out. A polka-dotted version, however, is still up for grabs:
Topshop Moto Polka-Dot Crop Shirt, $34.99 (before: $70)
You can see that even Nordstrom wants to hide the fact that it is cropped by styling it with a high-waisted skirt.
The last time we featured a cropped denim shirt here on Your Next Jeans, it wasn’t a very flattering piece either. Maybe some things are just not meant to be cropped?
