Crop Top Nation

Hey there my fabulous dolls, 

Last week I promised that today would be all about the Crop Top. As promised today's blog will be all about Length, Style, Material, what to look for when making a purchase, what to pair your crop top with, and even where you can find some and don't worry dolls, I will be providing pictures a little bit later so you can get a visual for when it is time to go SHOPPING!

So lets get right into it, some of you may be wondering what exactly is a crop top, well a crop top is a short blouse and or t-shirt that is made to expose some of the stomach region. 

Crop Tops can be paired with many different outfits and are very versatile it’s one of those looks that can be turned from day to night or even for late nights to early mornings. They can be worn as Sports Wear, Casual day wear and even night wear. A little bit later I will show you some different looks, from straight off the runway, to everyday girls and how they rock there crop top looks. 

What to look for when buying a crop top:

Length- Crop tops come in a variety of lengths the have the very short which should be worn by those with very tight midriff section and the longer which is made to cover up to right above the belly button. Dolls, lets always try and remember fashion is about keeping it classy and fabulous not trashy so always keep that in mind when picking out the length of your crop top. 

Style- Long Sleeve & Short Sleeve- form fitting or loose

            Sleeveless - form fitting

            Box Crop Top- these tend to come loose, and in    different fabrics and textures. 

Bottoms- Pairing the right bottoms with the right crop top is the most important part of your outfit. 

Material- Short Sleeve & Long Sleeve- If you want a tight fit look for one with a bit of a stretch in the material.
Box Crop Tops/ Loose fitting - Go for Crop tops made out of Thinner Fabric or even a lovely lace. 

Short Crop Top (Long / Short / Sleeveless) - should be worn with low-rise pants, it gives the appeal of a sexier look. 

Longer Crop Top (Long / Short/ Sleeveless) - should be worn with high waist-ed pants/skirts or even high waist-ed shorts. The high waist and crop top gives the illusion of sex appeal with out being overly sexy. 

Box/ Looser Crop Tops- Should are worn with body-con pencil skirts, form fitting pants or shorts. 

Form Fitting Crop Tops (Long-sleeve, ,short-sleeve,sleeveless) - Look FAB when paired with pants, shorts, skirts which contain volume.
