Emily Ratajkowski's Outfit Is the Britney Spears Throwback We've All Been Waiting For

In the early 2000s, Britney Spears was queen of the crop top and low-slung pants situation. The look made her torso appear miles — like, more miles than the average person can run — long. Enter Emily Ratajkowski walking her dog down the streets of New York. The year is 2019, and Britney music videos have officially become inspiration and fodder for our wardrobes. Do Emily's low-slung, wide-leg trousers and belly shirt not instantly remind you of the iconic pop star?

We can't give Britney full credit, though, considering Emily accessorized with a pair of chunky dad sneakers, round opticals, and her signature hoops, these being the modern tweaks of a fashionable gal who doesn't copy but updates the old-school outfits she still admires. Don't worry, we're not here to compare the way each woman pulled off this recognizable combination 15 to 20 years apart. If you want the truth, we're having a hard time tearing our eyes away from Emily's abs.

We just want to know if you're a fan of bringing back this style and just how low you're willing to go when it comes to the separation of shirt and slacks. Would you show as much skin as Emily and Britney of yore? Scroll to check out their memorable skin-baring moments, then weigh in and let us know where you stand in the comments.
