Love or Hate: Crop Tops

This summer girls are flaunting their toned midsections in the popular trend crop tops (should we just call it the Miley?) They're cute and cool for summer, but you definitely wouldn't see me sporting one around. 

However, Devon Rachel covered it perfectly here making them much more wearable. The key to wearing a crop top is pairing it with a high waisted skirt or pants. The point for a crop top isn't to show your entire 6 pack (...or 2 pack), just a small portion. My favorite look is the matching skirt and top set. The tailored skirt and matching top keep the entire look put-togehter. 



This look for me is love, love, love. It's a fun outfit and keeping the skirt or pants hemline below the knee makes it look completely appropriate. Maybe, just maybe, I'd break out a crop top in the striped ensemble above. 

What do you think? Are you a devoted crop top fan?

  1. I'm not sure how I feel about the crop top trend- something about seeing random people's belly buttons on the street weirds me out!

    1. I agree! I'm a fan when worn properly (e.g. no belly buttons showing :)

  2. I like them when they are done tastefully - i.e. Freda Pinto. The Miley Cyrus look is not my thing...

    1. Exactly! I put included the Miley since she has a minor obsession with them.

  3. Crop tops are not really my thing, except when paired with something high waisted and there’s as little bare skin showing as possible. I like my steak meals way too much, haha! Cute photos – love the way those crop tops are styled!

    1. haha... and I love my ice cream way too much! I think they look appropriate when 1 inch of skin or less is showing and the bottom hemline is below the knee.
