When wearing a crop top, you’ll want to balance the symmetry of your body. In the image above, the crop top completely flatters her body type: it highlights her toned stomach, while the skirt accentuates her small waist. The slight flair in the skirt also creates the illusion of a perfect hourglass shape.

Do not shy away from prints! Not only do prints offer a fun edge to your outfit, but they also complement a crop top. Because of their usual simplicity, crop tops demand drama, especially if you’re wearing a solid-colored one. You don’t just want to balance off your body’s symmetry; you also want to bring balance to the aesthetics of your look. Remember: simplicity + print = wearing it right!

If accompanied by a well-fit dress pant, a crop top can do wonders to your outfit. Going for sexy, business savvy or perhaps a classy date night? You can transform your outfit from the risqué club look to a more demure, sultry appearance. Above, Kristen Stewart looks amazing with a sweetheart-fit crop top, sleek business pants, and pointy toe stilts. 

Vanessa Hudgens oozes chic attire in this monochromatic-schemed outfit. The pure white tone complements her tan complexion. Although they come in many different prints and colors, crop tops also look amazing in neutral tones (i.e. light beige, pink, cream, caramel, black, white, gray)! Utilize these neutrals to your advantage to highlight the natural beauty of your skin tone. Peach (pink hues) looks amazing against universally any skin complexion.
