Cutting It Short

This weekend I went to see the Dixie Chicks with some girlfriends and we got to talking about summer weddings and what we're wearing. One fabulous lady in particular wants to try out a midi skirt with a crop top but all of the tops seemed to be too casual and loose. So of course, it's quest time. I give you, the structured crop top.

Nordstrom, Eliza J Floral Print Faille Crop Top, $108 $64

Starting strong. Pair this top with a purple accordion pleat midi skirt.

Saks Off Fifth, Geometric Chain Print Crop Top, $34

I love the sleeves on this top. It makes this sassy top a bit more classic.

Topshop, Button Back Crop Top, $66

A simple pastel allows you to play with print on the bottom.

Asos, Ariana Grande for Lipsy Lace Crop Top with Scalloped Hem, $62

I just love the scalloped hem on this top. It is feminine and summer-ready.

Crop tops are not just for outdoor concerts, dress them up with a flowing skirt or culottes. Look for a top that skims your torso and hits just where you want it to. If you're wearing it for an event, why not size up and take it to a tailor to get it to fit just the way you want?

No Cropping Needed

I really am warming up to this crop top trend. We first looked at this piece in the spring and now I want to revisit with some fun summer options. An easy way to wear this trend is a simple cotton option. Today we're stepping it up with some textured looks. These crop tops have something a bit extra.

Lord and Taylor, BCBGeneration Patterned Crop Top, $40

This color is called whisper white ad I think it's appropriate to describe the color and the pattern. So simple.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, 5twelve Floral Lace Cropped Top, $59

A nice shimmer to go with this lace. I like this for a dressier look.

My Habit, Cliche Women's Geometric Pattern Top, $34

Originally $97 this top has a beautiful crochet pattern and it perfect to pair with a simple cami.

Nordstrom, Missguided Scallop Hem Crop Top, $48

How special is this top? Feminine and in a stunning coral, plus under $50!

Crop tops can be dressed up. Look for texture, color, and embellishment that make all of the difference.

Don't Fear the Crop Top

Crop tops. They're here. They're not going anywhere. I'm sorry. I know. Let's try to embrace it. If I'm going to wear this trend it needs to do some work. I'm not cropping just for a tshirt. I want something with texture or structure. Give me a crop top that doesn't come up short on style.

Urban Outfitters, BDG Breton Crop Top, $29

I don't even need to hint at what to wear this top with because it goes with everything! 

Nordstrom, Kensie Daisy Brocade Crop Top, $24

Oh hi there sale, you will do just fine in my cart. 

Dillard's, BB Dakota Samuela Lace Crop Top, $47

Check out how delicate and fancy this top is and it's just another white top.

Barneys New York, Lace Crop Top, $69

I love some detail and this top brings it. Scoop neck, pleats on the neckline, and let's not forget this lace.

Don't count out the crop top. It's not just for the teens. Dress it up for date night or casual for brunch with some jeans.
