Trendy Tuesday: Crop Til’ You Drop

Once a dreaded trend, and now my closet staple… Crop tops !

 It’s funny that only a month ago, I winced at the thought of a crop top. I didn’t understand the appeal, and why all of a sudden they were popping up EVERYWHERE! OK, maybe Rihanna wearing one at The MET Gala.

It then became my mission to nail this trend without feeling like a 90’s teeny bopper or spending 24 hours a day at the gym.

Would you believe it if I told you crop tops could actually become one of your most flattering wardrobe stables too? Get in on my little secret… Pair it with anything high-waisted! This way, the crop top is still relevant, yet you’re only barring a classy cut-out. It seems to be the new chic, sexy and sophisticated version of the classic dress.  It’s hard to deny how flattering this look makes a woman’s silhouette.

A few tips for first time crop shoppers :

1. A halter-style top will lend a ‘90s vibe to your ensemble.

2.  A crop top plus a circle skirt makes for a particularly girly pairing.

3.  High-waisted pencil skirts and bra crops are a match not to be messed with. Pumps are the perfect way to dress up the look.

4. Go with neutral, ladylike or understated accessories to complete the look.
