Crop top, the pending subject of many of us
Crop top, the pending subject of many of us
Have you ever thought that you would love to show your guts with the art of Emily Ratajkowski? We do too but, of course, for that you need a crop top (very cropped ) and many times we don't dare. But we have found the solution for you to include this daring and summery garment in your usual outfits without having to show belly to the four winds. How? It's easier than you think and it looks better than you think (we have proof).

Even Emily Ratajkowski knows that a pretty crop top looks so much better like this: with an extremely high-waisted skirt (or pants). This will keep the gut strip visible and, therefore, keep the essence of the garment; but what you show is minimal. Do you like the idea? We recreate the looks with crop top and high skirt of the celebrities so that you too can wear it as soon as possible (that summer is coming to an end …).

Think that dark colors are always a plus point and more when it comes to tight garments. Therefore, you can wear an executive with a houndstooth (like Emily's) or better opt for smoother skirts (but always high-waisted) and a companion top . In this way it will give the feeling of uniformity to the whole and you will be a true supermodel every day you want.

If you are going to wear light colors, do it through slightly wider skirts and that the top also boasts this quality. In this way, your belly will be noticeably narrower than the rest of the clothes, which is a plus.

The queens of street style throughout the world know it: there is no garment that can resist you. Do you want to wear a white crop top and a printed skirt? No problem. Take a look at this outfit.

In fact, the key is to cover the lower part of the belly, where the most fat accumulates. So you can go to a red carpet like Emma Stone and cover the part in question. See how you can do it with colors as powerful as these two types of rose.

Do not be afraid that the colors will prevent you, you can use other tricks to avoid having to restrict your wardrobe ever again. This set is the proof. In addition, combining the same color in different shades is a trend.

TIP 1: Dress in black

Black is our faithful ally and has rarely failed us in terms of styling. Therefore, if you are not quite sure about wearing a crop top yet, the best we can do is start with dark colors in an integral way (black or navy blue), as Karlie Kloss does here.

No matter how short the top is , the point is that there is a balance and that the lack of length is supplied by the high waist of the skirt. And make it a black outfit, of course.

TIP 2: Use an outer garment

Another very viable option is the one used by Vanessa Hudgens in this case, adding a raincoat on top to cover possible cartridge belts. Anyway, there is nothing we like more than a long navy blue skirt in combination with a sailor striped top, so if you can do without the coat, all the better.

That said: A navy look is always a success and, in summer, take the opportunity to show off this trend that, for all intents and purposes, will make you the queen of any place.

Although if what you want is to mold yourself to the effect in a more subtle way, nothing like a two-piece like that of the actress. Make sure the top is short (but does not show so much) and the skirt, as always, high. Now you know: you too can wear a crop top like a fashion insider, hollywood star and supermodel that you are.
Why should we deprive ourselves of wearing a garment that we like if all we need is to know how to wear it? We are used to seeing hot bodies on the runway with crop tops and we have always thought that it is something exclusive to flat bellies, but NO. Nothing is further from reality. We had a hard time getting used to the leopard and we ended up loving it. The same will happen to you with the shorter crop tops , as soon as you learn how they flatter you the most .
How to wear a crop top and not show your belly
It seems an incongruity in itself but no, we inform you that the crop top has a star companion and when you know what it is, you will understand it: high-waisted skirts.
It sounds very obvious but, in reality, this couple makes an outfit of the most balanced, beautiful and that makes you great. In addition, with the seasonal skirts that we are seeing lately (all with a high enough waist) it will be very easy to jump into the pool.
So yes, the best thing you can do is take advantage of the fact that there are still little gems in the second summer season and get yourself a set to test the effect it causes on you. (Spoiler alert: you're going to love it on). You just have to think that the key is in balance and that it is logical that if you wear a top that is too short, you can cover that space with another garment, in this case, with a high-waisted skirt.
Although it is also applicable to pants, skirts tend to be more elastic and this will prevent them from being too close to your body (which would work against you in a matter of seconds with narrow pants like skinny jeans).
If you already have it clear, we do not know what you are waiting for to test the effect.
You're welcome.
