4 places to rock crop tops--and how to wear them!

Not quite sure where to rock your new crop top? We’ve found four fantastic crop tops and have paired them with the perfect places to rock them. Tip: Love the look but hate the exposure? Throw these tops on over high-waisted shorts and skirts: you can stay trendy and still be confident in your look!

The crop top: Fringed

The place: BBQ with the fam

This top sits on the more conservative end if you aren’t jumping with joy at the thought of baring your tummy (especially while chowing down on burgers with your cousins). Your mom and dad will be way cooler letting you wear this crop top around family, since it has a high neckline and long fringe. Try bringing out the floral pattern with a pair of colored jeans and a bold ring!

The crop top: Striped

The place: Shore side

Headed to the pool or beach with your girls and want something to throw over your suit until you get there? Try a top that ties! The knot gives you a cool, beachy look and the cotton will keep you cool all the way there and back. Plus, paired with some black denim and flip-flops, this look works for the boardwalk, too!

The place: Birthday bash

You wanna look cute when you walk in to your bestie’s birthday party, and what better way to show her the love than with a giant, sparkly heart? The neutral colors on this tank literally go with everything, but the sparkles are perfect for a fiesta with your friends. Since the shirt is cropped and sparkly, tone down the rest of the look with a dark maxi and a cardigan, but keep your accessories lively with a metallic clutch.

The place: Cuddled up at the movies

How on earth do you stay warm in those freezing movie theaters while still looking summery? Try a cropped sweater, of course! This star-studded one is perfect for a night out with your guy or hanging out with your girls. The slouchy fit will look cute with jeans or shorts, but we love this top with a pair of skinnies and some moon-shaped earrings to keep you looking stellar.
