As you have probably noticed many girls are fond of cropped tops now. Any kind can be found in the shops: from a summer cropped shirt to a warm cropped jumper. Sometimes it is worth it to buy one if you can match it with something suitable but in other cases you see a girl and you say: “Oh, no, I don’t want to look like this.” So, how do you choose the one that you won’t regret buying and how do you wear it?

Here is the guide for you.

No matter what colour your cropped jumper is wear it with a high-waist skirt or a pair of pants and I promise this will be your best outfit! Match the bright ones with black skirts or shorts and the best outfit will be yours. Remember if it is a sweater with large knitting pattern it will make you look bigger. So, if you like eating chocolates at night that’s probably not your option.

Another noteworthy thing is that a cropped top with low waist jeans doesn’t look stylish or fashionable- save it for the summer-sea-beach outfits. This is not pretty at all during the cold time of the year.

However, if you can’t stand any clothes with a high waist, simply wear a top underneath a large over-sized cropped jumper. This way you will be perfectly fine with a pair of your favourite low-waist jeans.

Party-clubbing outfits also include cropped shirts, t-shirts and tops. Nonetheless, even if it is a party, wearing a mini low-waist skirt and a cropped top, again, doesn’t look fancy. Leave a small narrow strip of body visible between the skirt/pants and the top. Trust me, it looks a lot prettier.

There are even some tops that look like bras and yes, they look really nice with high-waist skirts/ shorts/ pants.

If you wear a cropped top to school/ university/ work don’t leave any body visible- the dress code is still in its power and more importantly, your professors and colleagues might not share your views on fashion. But if it is a party or simply an evening with friends you can show a small stripe of your body- that would be enough. If your body shape allows you to wear a cropped top with low-waist jeans shorts, save this outfit for summer vacations.

If you match the cropped top with the right clothes it will definitely be your favourite piece of clothing in the wardrobe!
