All New: Grown Up Crop Top
There's something about crop tops that take us back to our youth, am I right? However, this summer they are bigger than ever in whole new way. The crop is now sexy, grown-up and open to everyone. Here's my pick of today's best crop options...
I love the floral buttoned dresses that are everywhere but have you noticed the crop top versions?
Shape = Style
This new grown-up crop top is all about a chic shape. These 4 picks are incredibly cool...
1 - Team it with a high-waisted, wide-leg trouser and heels. The shape is unreal.
2 - High-waisted denim; skirt or jeans.
3 - Seeing this with white jeans as a total summer vibe.
4 - I'd pair with this a black maxi skirt, split to the thigh.
This eyelet crop top has so many facets to it. I'm loving the spaghetti straps, the sultry lace-up, plunge neckline and the adorable puff sleeves. It's the perfect balance of cute yet sexy.
From top to toe -> this outfit
This crop top is sooooo well designed. It's so flattering, chic and simple and I love the red/white stripes. I would wear it as a separate but I would certainly wear it with the coordinating trousers as well (and if you look at more from the brand, there is a matching midi skirt too). The bag (also from Faithfull The Brand) really finishes the look.
If you love stripes as much as me...
This whole look is stunning but please take a second to look closely at this crop top. It. Is. Divine.
Grown-Up Sporty Spice
Finally, even sporty crop tops have a little grown-up twist. These 2 are my fave but there's loads around which can be worn as a regular top, looking perfect with double denim and make you feel so good.
Will you be plunging into the crop top craze this summer? I will!
Smocking
Smocking is huge this summer and can be seen splashed across every London bloggers Instagram. It's the most youthful of the crop top trends so to give a little added style, I'd pair all of these with high-waisted jeans rather than a cute little skirt.
