Top of the Crops

There is just no hiding from it – The crop top is big news, and the look isn’t going anywhere fast!
The idea of flashing the flesh sends shivers done the spine of most of us Irish ladies. BUT… It doesn’t have to be that way! By getting the right crop top and wearing it with the right outfit , it can be a really chic, stylish look, suitable for even the most timid of you fashionistas!
If you’ve got abs of steal then you have nothing to fear! But for the rest of us mere mortals, the key is rocking the trend without baring toooo much skin.

Top Tips

1. Opt for a longer length crop top. You don’t need to go for the bralet styles which end just below the bust, there are lots of options out there that end further down on the torso. Or those that just skim the top of your waistband.
2. Always wear the crop top with higher waisted bottoms – high waisted trousers, palazzo pants, pencil skirts or full, midi style skirts all look super stylish with a crop top.You only need to show a glimpse of skin to make this work.
3. To keep the eye and the focus away from that flashing skin, pop on a chunky statement necklace to complete the look!
