What to Wear Crop Tops with?

Once upon a time, women were subject to much more discipline than men in terms of clothing, not just in a particular country, but almost around the world. For example, women could only wear long dresses and should wear corsets under the dresses. Clothes that are now commonplace, such as pants and jackets, were only exclusive to men even a century or two ago. In addition, women were required not to show large areas of skin, and to cover their abdomens, legs, and arms completely with cloth.

However, with the progress of the times, women no longer face many restrictions in terms of clothing. Mini skirts , crop tops, etc. are appearing more and more frequently in women's wardrobes. Especially if you prefer the hot girl style, you will definitely be familiar with crop tops. However, some women may not dare to try crop tops because of their lack of confidence. Don’t worry. In this blog, we will help you judge whether you are suitable for wearing crop tops, and provide you with several suggestions about the bottoms and accessories to wear with crop tops.

The reason many women are reluctant to try crop tops is that they think they are not slim enough. It's difficult to avoid showing your midriff when wearing a crop top, so women who are not very slim may be afraid to wear that. So is this really the case?

If you're planning on wearing a crop top in its most casual way, next to the skin, then unfortunately, that's the case. Women with flat abdomen and slim waist are more suitable to wear crop tops directly next to their skin. They can help them show their graceful body curves.

On the other hand, petite ladies are also very suitable for wearing crop tops. Because crop tops can make petite ladies' waistlines look higher, thus visually lengthening their legs and making their proportions look more harmonious. Therefore, crop tops can modify the proportions of petite ladies to a great extent. From the perspective of climate, crop tops are more suitable for women living in hot climates because they can help you dissipate heat to a greater extent. Women living in other regions can wear crop tops in the summer, while women living in tropical areas can wear crop tops almost all year round.

Ladies who often do yoga, gymnastics and other sports are also very suitable to wear crop tops. Because crop tops are usually more elastic, do not hinder exercise, and can better show the vitality and beauty of the body.

Compared to women who prefer elegant style or campus style, women who prefer the hot girl style may be more suitable for wearing a crop top since a crop top can fully show their feminine charm.

After reading the previous part, ladies who are not very slim may be even more discouraged. But don't! Indeed, the previous part mentioned that crop tops are more suitable for ladies with slender waists, but don't forget that there is a premise, that is, when wearing it directly next to the body. Ladies with imperfect figures can create a crop top look by layering or other ways to avoid show their stomach, which is also very fashionable!

Firstly, you can try to wear a crop top as an inner wear. You can wear a shirt or a jacket over the crop top. Especially when wearing a shirt, you can tie the bottom hem of the shirt at the waist to cover your belly, which can cover up the flaws of your figure. But remember not to button your shirt all the way to the neck or zip up your jacket all the way to the neck! Because this will not only cover your belly, but also cover the crop top you are wearing underneath, which deviates from the original purpose of wearing the crop top.

Then you can also try to wear a crop top over a shirt. This will create a sense of wearing an inner wear as an outerwear. This is the opposite of the previous outfit. People have always seemed to be more accustomed to wearing larger clothes on the outside and smaller clothes inside, so it would be very creative to do the opposite. And with this method, you also don’t need to show your midriff when wearing a crop top. Therefore, this style will make you look very fashionable without exposing your figure flaws.

In addition, you can also wear a high-waist bottom with the crop top. If you don't want to show your belly, you can not only cover it with a top or an outerwear, but also with high-waist bottoms. Especially when you choose high-waist pants or a skirt in the same color as the crop top, they look like a set.

Or, you can wear a pair of backpack pants over the crop top. Wearing a crop top as an inner layer of backpack pants is also a very creative way to dress. In this way, you won’t see any exposed abdomen from the front, and only a little waist can be seen from the side.

When pairing a top, the most important thing is probably choosing the bottoms to go with it. So what bottoms are compatible with crop tops?

Wide leg pants. The combination of a crop top and a pair of palazzo pants looks nifty, airy and elegant. Even on hot summer days, you don’t have to worry about wide-leg pants sticking to your skin. And because wide-leg pants are very loose and breathable, even long pants won’t make you feel hot.

Jeans. Jeans are a very versatile fashion item, so no matter what fabric your crop top is made of or what color it is in, it will generally go well with jeans. Long jeans or jean shorts are both good choices especially in summer.

Skirts. In addition to pants, skirts are also a very good choice as bottoms. If you prefer a hot girl style or want a cool look, then choose a mini skirt. If you like a casual style, you can choose a bohemian maxi skirt. Especially when you go on vacation to the beach, you can choose a more flowing skirt if it is possible.

Sweatpants. As mentioned above, crop tops are very suitable for sports wear. Therefore, pairing sweatpants with crop tops is also a very good choice. This outfit is not only suitable for sports and fitness, but also for other casual occasions.

Cargo pants. In addition to the hot girl style, crop tops are also very suitable for creating a unisex style, making you look very capable and cool. If you choose a unisex, dark-colored, non-patterned crop top, you can pair it with a pair of cargo pants to show your capability.

Suit pants. The suit pants are formal and capable, and when paired with a crop top, they can balance the formal and casual feel. However, the presence of the crop top makes this outfit more suitable for casual occasions rather than formal ones.

In addition to bottoms, accessories are also a significant part in the paring of crop tops. Your outfit will look empty with barely top and bottom. But it will look much better after you add bags, jewelry and shoes.

The first thing you need is a belt. A belt, especially a wide one, can help prevent your exposed waist from looking empty. Especially when you pair a crop top with a high-waist bottom.

As for shoes, you need to consider about the occasion you are going to attend. In everyday life, crop tops can be worn with sandals or sneakers, and for evening events you can pair them with refined loafers.

A peaked cap is a great companion to a sporty crop top and it is especially suitable for outdoor activities. In order to create the sense of relaxation, you can also choose a bucket hat. If you are going to the beach for vacation, then a straw hat is perhaps a better choice to protect you from the harm of sunshine and style a crop top.

As for jewelry, you can go minimal with just two tiny studs or go for a cool vibe with a massive necklace and dangling earrings. Longer earrings can modify your face shape, and highlight your fashion taste.

You need to choose different bags according to the style of your crop top. If you are wearing a sporty crop top, a backpack is a good choice. If you are wearing a knitted crop top, you can carry a delicate a cross body bag. A clutch adds an elegant touch and is suitable for use on formal occasions or when you need to show a sense of sophistication. So if you are attending a banquet or a party, you can also take a delicate clutch with you.
