Crop top– this term applies not only to an element of a woman’s summer wardrobe. These include blouses, sweaters, and sweatshirts, whose length ends where the waist begins. The crop top came into fashion in the summer of 2014, with some models, called “crop tops,” being indistinguishable from a bustier.
The crop top continues to be relevant in 2015. Modern winter and spring collections show that a crop top is a convenient option for creating a fashionable look for every day. And it is not at all necessary to show an open belly. The slimness of your waist in the winter-spring season will be demonstrated by a wide belt of a skirt or trousers, while you work in the gym on your abs for the summer season.
Five reasons to wear a crop top
1. The crop top goes perfectly with high-waisted skirts and trousers. Small girls should take note of this set. Crop top style blouses do not need to be tucked in. Sweaters and sweatshirts with a short cut visually lengthen the legs, their “warm” versions do not create excess volume.
2. A crop top creates a trendy look when paired with midi and maxi skirts, which are essential for a fashionable wardrobe this year.
3. Crop top – new idea for a multi-layer kit. It can be worn over a silk translucent blouse. For example, a long-sleeve knitted crop top in black or burgundy will be combined with a fitted white blouse, mid-thigh length.
4. Crop top is an incentive to lose weight. To the question “why do you want to lose weight” - the answer is “to wear fashionable clothes" Even oversized clothes look more impressive on a slender figure, emphasizing the fragility of refined shapes. A summer crop top can only reveal a narrow strip of naked body, but it should also be perfect.
5. Compactness. This advantage of a crop top is clearly underestimated. It is much more convenient to take sets of several crop tops and one skirt on vacation than several dresses. The crop top is a godsend for the traveler's wardrobe. There is no need to fold the crop top for compactness, which means ironing may not be required.
Initially popular as a part sportswear, the crop top gradually won the hearts of fashionistas. For the first time, this part of the wardrobe of modern It girls gained popularity back in the 30s of the last century. The next peak in popularity of the crop top came in the 80s, when the rising Madonna used it in her concert numbers. Now the crop top is back in fashion, which means it's time to learn how to wear it again.
Take an example from Hollywood stars who always choose the best outfits for going out. Using their example, it is convenient to collect effective images.
Appetizing forms
Hollywood darling and buxom comedian Melissa McCarthy dared to wear a crop top on the red carpet. The actress successfully combined a wide cropped top with long sleeves in the color of milky creme brulee with long skirt into the floor made of metallized fabric. By using several shades of the same color in an outfit, you can visually elongate your figure and make it slimmer, which is what allowed Melissa to shine at the premiere.
Be sure to choose a skirt or trousers with high waist. The length of the skirt is preferably below the knees. Leave as little visible skin as possible between your top and waist. Emphasize beautiful breasts and shoulder line stylish top. Be sure to wear heels and style your hair beautifully to draw attention to the top of your figure.
Luxurious curves
Girls with a wasp waist and curvy hips can safely combine a tight-fitting crop top with long sleeves and tight skirt with details that emphasize the strengths of the figure: rounded shapes and natural transitions from the waist to the hips. Be a little bolder and dare to show off a tiny patch of skin on your waist to show off perfect figure. Beyoncé does this with a snow-white crop top and matching skirt.
Beautiful shoulders and small breasts
For skinny women who often lack volume, you can look for inspiration in the outfits of celebrities with a similar figure, like Karolina Kurkova. The stylish model demonstrates the current way of wearing a crop top for slender girls with a beautiful shoulder line. Choose a fitted top made of thick, well-kept fabric in a color that suits you, sleeveless or with dropped shoulders. This will add a little volume to the upper torso, and mix the top itself with matching high-waist straight-fit trousers. This trick will make you look a little fuller while also hinting at your natural fragility.

Crop Top is a cropped top that promises to become the most popular item in the wardrobe of avid fashionistas this season. Being a kind of “hello from the 90s,” when many Western stars like Madonna, Spice Girls, TLC, and “early” Aguilera sported a similar trend today, today’s crop tops are more reminiscent of a closed bra, short T-shirt or T-shirt. 
They will look appropriate not only on the beach or as part of an urban style, but also in an evening dress code.
This is because modern models are produced in the spirit of restrained sexuality and have nothing to do with vulgarity and provocative clothing. The variety of shapes, models, colors and prints available allows you to create a huge number of fashionable images– from feminine to sporty. Among the designs on fabric, the most popular are geometric abstraction, stripes, floral motifs, and animal prints. 
How to wear crop tops correctly:
The main thing is proportions
Even if your wasp waist and six-pack abs are the envy of others, remember: crop tops only look appropriate with clothes that have a high waist, which you choose as the bottom part of the look. Therefore, we give preference to high-waisted items: any skirts, trousers, jeans, shorts.
The most win-win combination
If you are a fan of the classic style of clothing, this is not a reason to refuse a fashionable item in your wardrobe. Pay attention to the stylish look, consisting of a high-waisted pencil skirt, regular pumps and a strict crop top. The latter, by the way, may resemble a shortened white shirt with sleeves.
Making the image more closed
If you don't feel like showing off too much of your bare body or it's chilly outside, add something over a crop top to your ensemble. For example, a light cardigan, shirt, blazer, denim or leather jacket, jacket.
We select shoes and accessories
The best shoes to complement an image using crop tops would be rather rough models with a wide high heels or chunky soles, such as ankle boots and cowboy boots. Any type of decoration can be used as long as it matches the spirit of the overall ensemble, i.e. were original, beautiful and fashionable. For example, flat bracelets in the form of a cuff, necklaces, headbands, wristwatches.
Other things to consider:
If you don't want to show an inch of your belly, pay attention to cropped sweaters that can be worn over a smart blouse or untucked shirt;
The style of a crop top does not have to fit tightly to the body: loose cropped tops are in fashion, which will be relevant both on city streets and at special events;
it is advisable to leave complex tops with an “architectural” cut for the evening, while simple ones will fit perfectly into everyday style;
Crop tops look natural only on those with a perfect tummy. If you are not confident in the quality of your abs, then you will be extremely uncomfortable in such shortened clothes.
A few examples of how to create a stylish look:
1) Combine a simple black crop top with high-waist jeans, diluting the ensemble with massive military boots. Before us is a bright image for every day;
3) To a monochrome crop top add a denim jacket and classic skinny jeans, diluting the resulting look with a backpack or baggy bag and a hat, and you get casual style in its classical manifestation;
4) Convenient and a stylish solution for summer would be a combination of a simple cropped top and a flowing skirt, where both items of clothing will be white;
5) Lovers of retro looks will appreciate a worthy mix of a velvet top a la corset, floral flares, a hat and massive shoes.
For several seasons in a row, designers have been persistently inviting us to try on various variations of crop tops in combination with all sorts of clothing styles. Considering the frequency with which models show us this attribute, we can conclude that cropped tops have burst into fashion in earnest and for a long time. Why shouldn't we also be the center of attention of others when it gets warmer?

Only those with a wasp waist can wear it without fear. It is advisable to have abs present, so the top fits especially effectively.
This piece of clothing is quite open, so if small folds of fat have formed at the waist, they will be exposed to everyone. And a sagging belly won’t make it look better.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that the crop top focuses attention not only on the waist, but also on the chest. Some models should only be worn with a suitable bra. Especially if the breasts are not ideally shaped.
What to combine with a crop top
A crop top is a fairly open wardrobe item, so it is not customary to wear it to the office or to any formal event. Is it possible to combine a top with a strict and maximally closed jacket of a men's cut on a naked body?

If the look is more beachy, then you can even wear flip flops decorated with fun decor. And the sports look welcomes sneakers, sneakers and moccasins.
As for accessories, elbow-length gloves are an excellent option. They will hide the nakedness of the image. Laconic neck jewelry is also combined with tops: chokers, modest necklaces, chains. A short string of pearls would also be appropriate. If the crop top is plain, then you can attach a miniature brooch to it.
For crop top with V-neck a pendant will do. It will sink intriguingly into the valley of your breasts. But the decoration should not be massive, only the most elegant and modest model without heavy stones and an abundance of rhinestones.
