Big Summer Styles! The Return of the Crop Top

This season you might have noticed that the crop top is making a massive mark in the fashion industry, so we’re asking what do you think about it?

We’ll if you’re anything like us then you’ll probably have some queries about it. Why is something that dominated the 1990s now big on the fashion agenda? Before you go into panic mode over showing a bit of belly, you’ll see that when this new look is worn correctly the majority of us will definitely be able to pull it off.

The trick when wearing a crop top is to match it up to a classic high-waisted skirt or a pair of high-waisted trousers. When a crop top is worn correctly it can be sexy and quite flattering. I've seen many girls wearing a crop top with midi length high-waisted skirts, which are perfect for a night out.

Pulling off a new trend will always wear better on you when you wear it with confidence, so before buying yourself a crop top just try it on with skirts, shorts and trousers to see what you feel most comfortable in. If you find yourself asking if it’s appropriate for your age or if you’re not sure it’s flattering for your figure then it’s probably best you leave it as you don’t want to be unsure and feel uncomfortable when you come to wear it out.

Revealing skin can look sexy but you must always remember this very important fashion rule: Less is more! You need to keep your cleavage display to a minimum and only expose a small strip of your stomach, if you show too much then it might draw unwanted attention to you.

If you’re happy enough to go out rocking the crop top then make sure you’re covering up the rest of you. Avoid miniskirts and hipster shorts/trousers to maintain a tasteful style. Maxi skirts are great additions to crop tops because they help to balance out your look.

Even if you’re still unsure about trying out this new style it’s important to remember that the trend has come a long way from its late 1990s Spice Girls days! The Summer 2014 crop top style doesn't expose your whole stomach as it’s a much more mature and comfortable style.
