Cream of the Crop

Jeramey Jannene • May 6, 2013

Remember back in the 90’s when crop tops were all the rage? At that time, it was the norm to wear any type of fitted and printed crop top with a pair of blue jeans. One thing I have noticed now is that crop tops are making yet another comeback, this time slightly altered for an adaptable look.

The idea of exposing a little extra skin may seem a bit intimidating, but it can be a fun way to make a statement. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to have a perfect silhouette to rock a crop top! You CAN wear a crop top without feeling too overexposed. Crop tops also add nice balance if you’re wearing high-waisted pants, shorts, or a maxi skirt. When pairing a crop top with high-waisted bottoms, but you don’t have to worry about feeling too self conscious about your belly. Wearing a crop top with high-waisted bottoms will show just the right amount of skin on your upper waist, and you won’t have to stress about any tummy rolls or food babies.

There’s a crop top out there for any occasion. If you’re looking for something more casual, opt for a breezy, flowy crop top. If you’re going out, it can be fun to pair a crop top with trousers or a skirt. You can also find crop tops with a deep back if you’re feeling daring enough to show a little extra skin.

Now that the weather finally feels like it’s warming up for good, crop tops are definitely on their way towards being season-appropriate. Make a statement this spring and upcoming summer by revealing a little skin and wearing a crop top. They’re also a fun option that’ll help keep you keep cool during summer music festivals. The revived crop tops of 2013 definitely have a different look than back in the 9os: restructured with straps on the back, polished with collars, feminine with lace, and casual with chambray. Take a look at my top picks below and rock the one best suited for your occasion!
