How To Wear Crop Tops (Outfit Inspiration)

I already went on about thigh highs, White Jeans, pleated skirts, 70s Wide-Leg Pants/ Trousers, and Dr Martens, and now it’s time to tackle my other underrated wardrobe essential: the crop skirt!

Now, crop tops are for EVERYONE. Period. Your body type/ weight/ frame/ height/ gender/ race should never discourage you from wearing what makes you feel fabulous. All you need to wear a crop top, is a crop top.

With that in mind, find one that makes you feel fabulous, and take inspiration from some of the style pairings below!
