Crop tops and having a bare belly are styles I’d normally avoid but these stylish and classy crop tops are super wearable and make wearing them less daunting. Especially the knit crop top trend which is perfect for layering under a blazer if you don’t want to show too much skin or just for extra warmth.
These are the best crop tops trending now and some of the easiest ways to style them whatever your comfort level wearing them.
Are crop tops in style
Absolutely crop tops are a womens fashion trend and in style! Crop tops, like a lot of other 90’s trends. If you’re not sure about them, style them with high waisted pants, skirts and skorts to close the gap or throw a blazer over the top.
The top and skirt in this cute blue and white knit crop top and skirt set are sold separately. It’s designed to be worn together or to mix and match but ordering separately means you can order a different size top to bottom if you need to. I wish more bikinis were sold like this! It runs true to size but is selling out fast.
How to make crop tops modest, more sophisticated & stylish
Crop tops don’t have to just be super sexy or revealing, they can be more modest and sophisticated. I’m having fun styling these cute crop tops and making them more wearable. Wearing high waisted styles of skirts, shorts and pants with crop tops is a great way of still wearing the trend but showing less flesh.
A longer crop top is also great for this. You can also layer a blazer over the top for a smarter look.
They’re one of those styles that you can wear with pretty much any style of skirt including pencil skirts, long skirts or minis for a feminine look.
If you’re confident wearing them anyway, ignore my comments and skip straight to the gorgeous, trendy crop tops round up below.

What are the most wearable styles of crop tops
Crop tops don’t have to be super short or super fitted. There are so many different looks and styles that make it easier to find one that fits your personal style and comfort level. I’ve found some chic elegant trending crop top styles for a more sophisticated look.
I never thought I’d put classy and crop top in the same sentence but just look at this Valentino or longer length Versace shirt for example. Some of these classy tops are fitted and some are looser and more flowy. I’ve also added cropped sweatshirts for a cozy and casual way to wear crop tops in Fall/Autumn and Winter.
For a luxe for less version of the Versace cropped white safety pin t-shirt, buy the Versace gold safety pin and recreate the look on one of your own tees.

My black puff sleeve button down crop top has already sold out but there’s a few similar styles still in stock. I find most revolve brands run true to size and love gorgeously structured puff sleeves. I love a cap sleeve for covering my upper arms and they’re always more flattering in photos.
Heeled mules are still in style and I just did a post on the best mules trending now as I wore my white ones a lot this summer.

There are so many fabulous designer crop tops around this year whether you like logos or luxe details like god buttons. Balmain, Givenchy and Versace bralettes and crop tops are an investment.

How to style crop tops
Crop tops and baring your stomach in public can be pretty daunting! Here are some tips to make these trending crop tops less daunting, more stylish from casual looks to dressy, the office to date night.
- Look for volume in the sleeves and shoulders as well as on your bottom half. It will naturally create an hour glass shape and give the appearance of a smaller waist.
- Throw a blazer over the top of your crop top as an added level of comfort which is always great for when sitting down. Everyone has rolls when they sit even if you’re a 00 so why worry about it when you can do this simple hack.
- The most trendy crop tops and the easiest to style are matching sets. There’s some super cute 2 and 3 piece coord sets around this year from casual to dressier styles.
- For a casual look style them with a pair of jeans or palazzo pants and loafers.
- Make sure your crop top is the right size. A shorter crop top can be much harder to pull off than a longer style to nail this popular trend.
How to wear crop tops without showing skin | Modest outfit ideas
If baring your stomach in public is about as appealing as eating lettuce leaves for the rest of the year, here are 10 easy ways to wear crop tops without showing as much skin and tips to make the crop top trend less scary.
- Style and wear your crop top with a high waisted skirt. The Versace outfit above is actually a 2 piece set (crop top and high waisted skirt), not a dress.
- Wear them with high waisted pants to close or lessen the gap. I prefer to style my corset crop tops with high waisted pants so there’s no gap. It takes wearing a crop top from totally scary to me to something I feel confident in.
- Wear your crop tops under overalls so there’s just a glimpse of skin at the sides but it covers the stomach.
- Layer crop tops under sheer layers which are still in style.
- Strategically place cross body bags and wear belt bags cross body to cover more skin.
- Preppy styles are still in style so you can always tie a sweater, skirt or jacket around your waist to cover up a bit more.
- Go for longer length crop tops, baby tees and tank tops.
- Layer them under blazers buttoned or unbuttoned. This is one of my go-to favorite ways to wear them.
- Wear them under a long jacket for a casual, trendy silhouette.
- High-waist jeans are great for showing a little skin but not too much. Whether that’s Mom jeans, skinny jeans, or denim cut offs.
