Crop tops are incredibly fun and trendy pieces of clothing. They show no sign of going out of style any time soon and are a great addition to your wardrobe if you are someone who loves to show a bit more skin than you would with just a mini skirt or wearing a top with a deep and plunging neckline. Some women are not comfortable wearing crop tops, and that’s fine – each to their own. However, others think that not all body types can wear them. At Stylewise Direct we beg to differ and have some tips to back up our view that any body type can rock a crop top – you just need the know-how.

Rectangular
If you have a body that is best described as rectangular, that is straight upwards and downwards without very little in the way of curves, you can definitely pull off wearing a crop top. Crop tops can help to give the impression you have stronger and more prominent curves. It’s best to pick a very loose crop top and wear it with a cute A-shaped skirt. This will help your waist to look a little bit smaller than your hips.

Pear-Shaped
If your body type is best described as pear-shaped, and you want to wear a crop top, you need to find one that sits on you at your body’s slimmest part. You need to choose one that has a lighter colour to help draw more attention to your shoulders and bust. Another way to divert the attention upwards is by choosing a crop top with extra design features like lace detailing or ruffles.

Hourglass
Ah, the coveted hourglass figure that most women would love to rock at least once in their lifetime, if not, always. To achieve the perfect figure accenting hourglass look with a crop top, you need to find one that sits just above your natural waist and wear it with a pencil skirt or another particularly high-waisted fitted style of skirt. This allows you to show some skin like other crop tops and to be a little daring, while also defining and shaping your curves somewhat. If you can pull this off and make the right choices you have a go-to look that will never fail you.

Plus Size
If you are classified as a plus-size woman and want to boldly rock a sexy crop top, you need to wear one with either a pair of correctly sized culottes or a high waisted skirt. This will help to show off just a small measure of skin, as it may be all you can cope with while showing off your huge asset – those stunning curves. Look for a very flattering and form-fitting top to achieve the most adorable look.
Whereas if you are not interested in showing off much skin at all, you can choose a long-sleeved crop top.

Tall and Slim
If your figure is best described as being tall and slim, you may have the almost daily struggle of trying to shorten the length of your body. To achieve this you can wear a crop top that sits right on your waistline and pairing it with a skirt that sits just a few inches below it. That way you can still have some flesh on display, without feeling like too much attention is drawn to your belly.
