Combining crop top with palazzos is a just perfect mix of style and comfort. You can pair them up with high heels or platforms and make heads turn around!
4. Saree
You won’t mind if I say that crop top is the cousin of Indian blouse who hails from the west! So, for a punch of Indo- western fusion try replacing your blouse with a crop top. It’s the simplest way to include crop top in your ethnic game and get noticed by all the fashionistas! To set a strong style statement, wear your attire with danglers, bindi and hold a shimmering clutch.
Western style…
No matter who you are or what your personal aesthetic is, there’s a way for you to feel good in a crop top. Though there are endless ways of styling crop top but keeping in mind you are less naïve we will give you the ones you can play with…
1. High waist bottoms
We understand if you feel a little uncomfortable showing off your glimpse of skin. Just because you are wearing a crop top, it doesn’t mean your belly button will be exposed. You can try matching a crop top with high-waist jeans or trousers and can eliminate any midriff show. You can also pair them with jeggings and add some cool sneakers or flats for a relaxed yet stylish outfit.
2. A line skirts and pencil skirts
If you love to be more girly, you can match your crop top with A-line skirt. Keep the colour palette of your outfit subdued if you’re wearing a circle skirt and crop top with high heels. Matching separates are as darling as can be, which makes the crop top much more ladylike. You can also style crop top that hits right at your true waist, paired with a body-con pencil skirt that hits just below your knees. Just the way Kim Kardashian did it- showing off her curves and assets!
3. Shorts
If you are a gym rat or blessed with that perfect figure; grab your denim shorts, some cute booties, a chic pendant and you’ll be out the door in no time! If the crop top of your choice makes you feel like a sexy badass, wear it. How you feel in it is actually the only thing that matters!
4. Layer ‘Em in and out
If you are little doubtful about your crop top layer it up! Layering will make you feel more put together and covered up. Apart from trendy jackets and blazers, you can also pick ethnic or printed jackets. The addition of a no-nonsense and sophisticated layer elevates the crop top just enough. No need to retire your crop tops in cold weather; instead layer them over longer tops or opt for sweater crop tops for an effortless, relaxed look. Once you put on your crop top, own it and be your own boss.
