A crop top can be a staple in a minimalist or maximalist wardrobe. A crop top can dress up casual clothing. It is feminine and chic and can be worn in many different silhouettes and on various occasions. Crop tops are still in demand today, even though they gained popularity in the 1990s. Here are six ways you can wear a crop top for different occasions if you are a fan of crop tops.
1. Casual Denim
Name a time when a pair of denims didn’t save the day. This makes the concept of “throwing on whatever you find” look more put-together. The first step to mastering the art of wearing a crop top is to pair it with jeans. The Striped Multi-Color Crop Top by Madame is a Gen-Z high street fashion brand that Tara Sutaria, Shanaya, and B-town Divas Tara Sutaria have endorsed. Finish the look by wearing a pair of high-rise straight-fit jeans. Off Duty India’s mid-blue Not Your Daddy Straight Leg Jeans are a great choice. Slip into sneakers to bring the comfort factor home.
2. Pink Love
There’s never a wrong time to wear pink. Whether you’re going out on a date or want to look like Legally Blonde (2001)’s Elle Woods, there’s always an excuse to show off your feminine side. Pashmina, a Bollywood newcomer with a full-sleeved top and pencil skirt, has a feminine silhouette that we love. Camla Barcelona’s Ribbed Hot Pink Crop Top is an excellent choice from our extensive collection. The mid-length top is made of ribbed polyester and has pink buttons. Keep a few buttons unfastened at the bottom to add some sensuality. We recommend The Clothing Factory’s O-Ring Midi Skirt, which has a high slit with a drawstring accent. For a flared fit, choose a larger size. Add a pair of embellished heels to complete the look.
3. Academia Core
Rachel Green’s wardrobe featured a lot of crop tops in Friends (1994). One of our favourite looks was the academic-style outfit, which included a short plaid skirt and a white crop top with a high neck. Recreate this look with Odette’s White Polyester Solid Crop Top. The material is stretchy and fits comfortably at the mid-waist. The Emily In Paris Plaid Pleated Woolen Skirt from The Clothing Factory is a zero-waste ethical fashion brand that has been seen by celebrities such as Sonakshi Sinha and Kiara Advani. Finish the look by adding a pair of knee-high socks and chunky oxfords.
4. Boho Chic
Vanessa Hudgens, an alumna of High School Musical (2006), is known for her boho style. This pair of flared pants and crop top is perfect for casual workdays, tropical vacations, college, and more. Choose the white Solid Crop Top from Forever 21, which has full sleeves with oversized cuffs around the wrists. The soft blend fabric can be worn throughout the year. Combine it with Juniper’s Navy Blue Ethnic Motif Printed Rayon Flannel Palazzo Pants. Juniper is a woman-owned company that specializes in ethnic and fusion clothing. A pair of dangling earrings in oxidized metal and a black shoulder bag will add a touch more style to your outfit.
5. Everyday Glam
Some of us enjoy putting together outfits, but others choose outfits with minimal effort that still look great. This is where a pair of straight-fitted casual pants and crop tops come in. Anushka Sharma, an actor and producer, approves this outfit for promotional events. Recreate this look with the Navy Floral Embroidered Sleeveless crop top from the Shraddha Kapoor X Indya collaboration collection. The silk V-neck crop top has beautiful floral embroidery on the bodice and a side zipper. The Blue Formal Side Zip Pant from Salt Attire is a great pair of pants to finish off the look.
6. Lehenga BFF
You can channel your love of indo-western style through the festive season, special occasions, and traditional functions. Alia Bhatt, who is currently a children’s author, has a great example of how to wear a cropped top in a traditional setting. It’s also super easy to replicate. MIXT, Nykaa Fashion’s private label, offers a variety of western wear choices like the Solid Full Sleeves Twisted Crop shirt with a twist on the bodice. This cotton crop top with a collar-neck can be buttoned down to reveal the outfit or to show off a heavily embellished necklace. Pair it with the Beige Floral Print Chanderi Silk Skirt, also from the Indya by Nikhil Thampi Collection.
