Let’s discuss. Wearing a crop top doesn’t mean putting on a bralette and low-rise jeans. I mean, unless you want to look like Christina Aguilera circa 2002. If so, that’s fine. Go for it. But today’s crop top trend is a little bit more covered up. The best way to wear a daytime-appropriate crop top is with something high-waisted. You can show a sliver of your stomach above your belly button, or if you’re daring, more than a sliver. The point is, it shouldn’t look like you’re headed to the beach. It should look chic and cool.
