Learning to Love the Crop Top

Learning to Love the Crop Top | by The Luxi Look

Last week I wrote about the concept of getting “summer ready” and jump starting healthy habits. We want to look good, but we also want to feel good, and that starts with what you put in and on your body! Realistically, summer also means wearing fewer layers and showing some more skin. One clothing trend that continues to go strong year after year is the crop top. I thought this would be a one or two season trend, but here we are, still rocking all sorts of different crops all year round. I’ll be the first to admit, crop tops are intimidating! Especially if you’re like most girls and don’t always feel confident about your mid section. But with some strategic styling tips, you can put your best foot forward and confidently wear a crop top!

Learning to Love the Crop Top

+ Debloat naturally.

Lots of posts coming on this topic (because nothing ruins a crop top moment like a little pesky bloating), but cutting down on junk food and avoiding certain healthy foods (like beans and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts) go a long way! In a pinch, Heather’s Tummy Tea also works wonders! I sweaaar by this stuff in the summer and on beach vacations.

+ Showing less is sometimes more.

You don’t have to bare it all! Cropped tops are made to be worn with high waisted bottoms, so you don’t have to show that much skin.

+ Layer up!

Throw a blazer or denim jacket over your crop top for a look that’s casual and chic.

+ Don’t be afraid to wear a matching set.

Another trend that has stuck around for a couple years. Here, I’m wearing this super comfortable flattering crochet two-piece from House of Harlow – top here, skirt here). I’m loving this trend for festival season as well!

On that note, who’s ready for festival season? Catch up on my festival must have’s and what I wore to Coachella last year, and stay tuned for some upcoming festival essentials and looks!
