I have been wanting to try a crop top for awhile now, but I have to admit I wouldn’t really consider myself in crop top shape. When Ellie Clothing sent me this top and skirt, I was in love- but still a little hesitant. I just had to find the right way to wear it. I think everyone can jump on this trend, but you have to find how it works for you.
A few tips to wearing crop tops are below:
1. Pair them with a higher waisted jean or skirt. I folded this skirt over less than I typically would to prevent my midriff from showing too much. It made me feel much more covered and I still felt like I was rocking the trend and staying true to myself.
2. Pair it will a tank underneath. There is nothing wrong with layering a basic tank of black or white under the top. Or, better yet, a cropped tee shirt or sweater over a tank or blouse.
3. Layer over it. You can see I also did that with this look. Try layering a jacket or light sweater over the crop top so you feel more covered but are still exposing the front of the top.
Have you sported a crop top this season? Would you wear one with the tips above?
Thanks for reading as always! I am still in LA and haven’t had a chance to explore yet, but Im hoping to get some exploring in!
I love that you posted these tips for crop tops! I think they are so cute but sometimes I feel like they look like they are for 16 year olds! Yours looks great, and I love the layering over it!

Great tips! I love this look. I've seen the crop top trend around but just can't do it. This is a perfect way to wear it though, and it looks amazing on you!
I am loving the print of that skirt! It is so lovely!

I like that your top has two layers, so you can rock the trend but still feel covered.

I think I'll be jumping on the layering trend with the crop tops. After two babies, my stomach isn't worthy of showing off right now. haha!
So thankful for these tips! I get really nervous about crop tops and how they will look on me, but I really like how you paired it with a high-waisted skirt! I just might have to try it now! 🙂
