Let us be clear about one thing. There is no age bar to owning a crop top. Additionally, there is no strict body shape you need to have to wear a crop top. You can own what you like and wear what you want. If you love it and it makes you feel comfortable, more power to you. And when it comes to crop tops? In our opinion, the more the merrier. They are chic, comfortable and compliment everyone. It can be a soft cotton tee or a strappy bralette. Crop tops are the perfect summer wear item. That said, you’ll probably style crop tops differently in your 20s than you would as a teenager. So, we have identified some ways in which you can elevate the humble crop top. You can take inspiration and take the cropped pieces everywhere with you. Find ahead, some grown-up ways to bare your midriff in style. 

What is a Crop Top?

Before seeing the different ways to style crop tops, let us clarify what a crop top for women is. A crop top is a piece of clothing that bares the belly button or midriff. They come in many different sizes and silhouettes. Crop tops for women can be strappy, t-shirt-like, similar to bralettes amongst other types. They can also be tight or flowy. Consequently, crop tops are effortless to style and pair well with midi skirts and high-rise jeans. 

Now that we know what crop tops are, let us see some adult ways to style crop tops for women. 

Elevated Ways to Style Crop Tops For Women

Crop tops are a fun addition to any wardrobe. They inspire unique casual outfit ideas. You can wear them for date nights, for travelling, to the beach and anywhere in between. Read below to find the different ways we would style our crop tops.

Style Crop Tops With Denim

The easiest way to style a crop top is with denim. The foolproof resulting outfit needs no extra effort to look chic and sophisticated. A casual cropped tee with a pair of classic blue jeans is the perfect foundational outfit. It is easy to put your own spin on the basics to make it your own. Our favourite way is to do a denim on denim mix that gets a dose of sexiness with a crop top. The model-off-duty look is a hit amongst stars like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner. So, do not be afraid to channel your inner model. Put on this fit and strut like the world is your runway.

Print on Print

Going from the most basic to the most experimental, print on print is for the bold ones. It might be possible that you wish to take your fashion game to the next level. The sophistication of print on print does not come easily to everyone. But, there are some cheat codes to look good in it. The primary goal for a print-on-print outfit is to follow a colour scheme. Keep one primary colour and max two more supporting colours to your outfit. This will make any print-on-print outfit of yours look cohesive right off the bat. 

Styl Tip: Keep one focus print and one secondary print whilst wearing a print-on-print outfit. Remember that the basics of dressing apply here as well. Proportions, colour schemes and one focal point are important. 

The Athleisure Way to Style Crop Tops for Women

Athleisure is a trend we all know and love. It is not going anywhere anytime soon. Especially after the pandemic, athleisure has taken the top spot for comfort dressing. So, we suggest you take out that crop top of yours and get sporty. You can go wear your crop top with a sporty tennis skirt and an oversized pinstriped blazer. The fabulously edgy outfit gets dressed down with the help of your crop top. Additionally, you can wear some cargo pants and a bomber jacket with boots. Here, you can use the crop top to break apart the oversized monotony and add contrast. This simple yet high fashion way of wearing a crop top is one of our favourites during the summer.  

The Model Off-Duty Look

Models love their crop tops. And why not? The super casual garment can be easily styled with your eyes closed. It is perfect for busy days when you are in a hurry but on the hunt for a casual yet chic fit. The key to creating the perfect model-off-duty look is a statement garment or accessory. And this holds while styling crop tops as well. You start with basic pieces like some comfy black pants with a basic crop top. And on top of that, you add your statement piece. It can be a leather jacket, a bright coat, some fun shoes or a crazy accessory. Anything that makes you stand out but without effort.

A Formal Approach To Style Crop Tops For Women

A full normal suit can sometimes be a bit much for the fashionistas reading this. So, as an alternative, you can wear a crop top with a suit to tone down the formal. Break up the stiffness of a full suit by showing some skin. You can wear a cropped t-shirt underneath the suit for some easy casualty. Additionally, you can your suit from day to night easily with a crop top. Just swap your formal shirt with a lacy crop top for women, similar to a bralette. You can button up your jacket for a more conservative look. Alternatively, you can keep it open and let the bralette take centre stage.
