One of my favorite moments so far this spring has been a crop top moment. I’m not talking the early 2000s Genie in a Bottle look, but a grown up, elevated version of a crop top that pairs perfectly with a high waisted pant, which is still very on trend. Crop tops + high rise bottoms means you’re exposing what, for most of us, is a comparatively narrower part of the body (in other words, they sit at your natural waist). You can also look for “longline” crop top styles that come a few inches below the bust, especially if you have a longer torso, to keep your proportions in line. Then you’re also showing just a sliver of skin and not exposing your full midsection. Today’s crop top is much more versatile than you think. Here’s how can you wear the the look throughout the rest of spring and summer: Elevated Athletic If you’re looking to take the transition out of your house, and out of your joggers, a little more slowly and cautiously, this Elevated Athletic look is for you. Pair your crop top with your joggers and sneakers, then add a top layer like a satin bomber. Daytime Denim For those that are ready to give up their elastic waists for pants that actually zip and button, pair your top with straight leg jeans, another one of spring’s hottest trends. Top with a denim jacket in a different wash, slide on a flat sandal, and you’re ready for errands or lunch with a friend. Overdue Night Out If getting dressed up and going out for actual dinner or drinks is your pseudo-post pandemic dream, your crop top will go perfectly with something like a faux leather pant and a brightly colored shacket or thin spring blazer. This is also your heels moment, if you’re totally over your flats and sneakers. Park & Picnic Perfect In this not-quite-post pandemic summer lots will be happening outdoors. Get park or picnic ready when you pair your crop top with a high waisted denim short and sandals. Finish the look with a light shacket or a fun printed duster or kimono. http://liketk.it/3fVYp #liketkit @liketoknow.it
