9 street style suggestions as to how to rock your crop tops

Ohk so crop tops are the current rave of the moment, some are doing it right, some aren't... So here are a few street style ways to rock the crop tops
When it comes to ways to wear crop tops this season, the key this time around is to keep the belly-baring to a minimum. The best way to wear the must-have crop top is with high-waisted skirts and pants that sit above your belly button. You can wear your crop tops with your favourite high waisted midi skirts for a chic ladylike look or wear a cropped sweater over your outfits to create a layered look. Check out these ways to wear crop tops, as seen on the streets.

1. CHIC STRIPES



When it comes to ways to wear crop tops, keep it simple in black and white basics. Elle was snapped for Refinery 29 wearing a black and white striped crop top with a black pleated midi skirt. She accessorized with a printed clutch, strappy heels, statement earrings, and oversized sunglasses. This outfit would also look great teamed with patent ballet flats and a canvas tote for a more casual look.

2. RETRO INSPIRED



Cropped sweaters are a great way to wear this trend when the temperature drops. This is another street style look we spotted on Refinery 29. The plaid pants teamed with a sky blue sweater make for a fun look, with just the slightest retro hint.

3. BLACK AND WHITE SEPARATES



Gabi, from GabiFresh, wears a white crop top with a leather-look skater skirt and sleeveless blazer. It’s a crisp layered look that makes the most of this season’s monochrome trends. Turquoise accents add fun and fresh touches to the look.

4. CROPPED SWEATERS



Stacey Young snapped this fall-appropriate outfit on the streets of Seoul. A cropped light brown sweater teamed with a checked midi skirt and ankle boots makes for an on-trend outfit. The slight hint of skin and chunky ankle boots add edgy touches to this otherwise demure outfit.

5. DRESSED UP CHIC


Miss iffy, porpularly know as purpleena_ivory on Instagram rocked a turtle neck crop top with a classy acid wash denim skirt... The heels transformed the outfit giving her classy yet not over the top look....  Short heels do that to you and I love them

6. CASUALLY COOL


Boxy crop tops are great for working a casual look. Rukhmah was snapped for Glamour wearing a boxy cropped shirt with high-waisted jeans. It’s a casual combination that looks effortlessly cool topped off with a wide brimmed hat and slouchy side bag. The jelly sandals are also a fun touch.

7. HEAD TO TOE COLOUR



This street style look, spotted on the Stylesight blog, shows us how to wear the cropped top in a more polished manner. The softly structured top is balanced out by the tailored pants. The head to toe navy creates a streamlined outfit and looks super stylish teamed with nude heels and metallic and red accents.

8. MATCHING SET



Lia-Belle was snapped by Jessie Bush wearing this matching top and skirt combination. The cut of the top and skirt is quite flattering and reveals the slightest hint of skin. The jagged striped pattern is also a fun twist on a classic pattern. Studded ankle strap flats complete this fashion-forward look.

9. ATHLETIC



Crop tops are inherently sporty. That means they’re ideal for working a sport luxe look. Lucillia was photographed by Brandie Raasch wearing a white crop top with high-waisted print shorts and a sheer bomber jacket. A clear clutch and retro sneakers complete this athletic outfit.

These are just some ideas on how to rock a crop top. What’s your take on the crop top trend? Which of these looks do you like best?

Dress code style tips; who what wear!!



Picking out an outfit according to a dress code can be difficult, but once you learn the basics, you can choose the right thing to wear more easily. Whether your party invitation includes a dress code or it doesn’t, you can figure out what to wear with a few simple tips.

Learn more about party dress codes to pick the right look for every event, and you’ll have little trouble in choosing the right clothes even when your invitation lacks any recommended dress code. Here are the party dress codes explained, from the most elegant to casual.


White Tie

When you receive an invitation to a white tie event, only the best of your wardrobe will suffice. Think formal evening gowns and jewelry that you only wear on special occasions. For most white tie events gloves are optional, but they’re always welcome and can help you achieve the white tie dress code more easily. For hair and makeup, stick to simple and sophisticated: updos, long strands of pearls and French manicure.


Black Tie

Very formal events, but a bit less dressy, black tie events are one of the party dress codes that is misinterpreted most frequently. You don’t have to stick to long gowns or even knee-length dresses. You can wear separates for black tie events, as long as your look is truly polished. The perfect bag is a clutch and the right way to go with jewelry is one statement piece: either a necklace or chandelier earrings.

Black Tie Optional

The optional part is a tip for men, who can wear dark suits instead of tuxedos. For women, the same rules apply as for the black tie party dress code. Keep your hemlines at the knee or below. If you to wear a shorter dress or skirt, make sure it’s truly a show stopper.

Creative Black Tie Formal

While party dress codes for white tie and black tie usually imply a simple and elegant look, you can take more risks when it comes to creative black tie. That means less restrictions for hem length and dressy pants become another good option. Pair a dress with a sweater or go for separates in more expensive fabrics. You should still stick to a clutch, but the updo is no longer recommended.

Cocktail Attire

The little black dress is truly the star of your outfit when your invitation says Cocktail or Semiformal. Party dress codes allow for a lot more freedom, especially in the makeup department, when you can try a shimmery body lotion or even glossy lips. Braided puns and high ponytails are good look for your hair. You can also take a few more color risks with cool pastels and jewel toned looks.

Festive

Also known as Holiday Attire or Creative Cocktail, the Festive dress code tests your creativity when it comes to color. Go bold in your color choices and your jewelry without wearing anything too tacky. You’re also allowed to sparkle when it comes to your shoes and purse, but don’t overdo it with a lot of flashy elements. A cardigan over a dress is a good combo, but you can also opt for separates.



Casual Chic

When it comes to party dress codes, Casual Chic is also known as Smart Casual or Dressy Casual. You can try a dark shade of jeans. Blazers and even jumpsuits are among your options. When you’re not sure if your outfit is too elegant for casual chic, wear it anyway. For dressy casual, it’s better to be over-dressed than under-dressed. For hair and makeup, don’t fuss too much and think office or job interview looks.

Casual / Come as You Are

The casual look doesn’t mean gym clothes or graphic tees. You can wear jeans or capris, depending on the type of event or a simple dress. You don’t have to worry about your makeup and hair too much, but mascara and lip gloss are an appreciated effort.

What to Wear When There’s No Dress Code

If your invitation lacks any mention of party dress codes, take a closer look. Embossed invites usually mean at least cocktail attire. The time of the event is very important, you can pull off casual chic for anything before 5 PM, but go for a more elegant look when the event starts at 5 or later. Finding out more about the location is also helpful, since outdoor events usually mean a less formal look will be fine.

I have been seeing them on some really fashionable ladies and I think it's a fashion do, and a fashion must have for every lady... It's nice for an evening with the girls or a hot date.. I feel it makes a statement!



Aren't they just adorable!

What do you think ladies? You agree?

Converse chic

The popularity of Converse shoes is constantly growing and the reason for that may be the fact that they’re so versatile and come in so many colors to fit our moods or outfits. They add cool and casual element to every outfit and fit everything! From sport to casual and stylish! I present you ways to wear your Converse sneakers.

You can wear them with jeans, leggings, shorts, skirts, dresses. You can make many looks just by playing with the laces. If you want to look casual don’t tie the last 2 lace holes and for a sloppy one loosen them and leave them untied. Moreover, you can remove all the laces, sew the tongue on the sides and you’ll get Converse slips-on. I believe that Converse lovers have more than one pair at their homes. It’s good to have both high and low tops and different colors. Browse through the gallery of photos below and see the combinations. Every single one of them is adorable!

5 fashion tips to look taller

If you’re a short girl and want to appear taller, here are a 5 fashion tips to look taller. You should try different styles and see what works for you. Find a way and experiment with your clothes. Follow my advice

High-Waisted

High-waisted short, skirts or pants will elongate your legs and will add a few centimeters to your height.  One of my favorite looks are high-waisted pants and the blouse tucked in them. You can tuck it in only in the front and let it hang in the behind.




Platforms

The platform heels have an extra heel and will add a couple of inches to your appearance. You can buy yourself wedges and booties in this style and you will look taller and feel comfortable at the same time.


Color Blend

Another way to look taller is the trick with color blending. You need to match the color of your shoes to the color of your pants, so your legs will look longer.




Maxi

Maxi skirts or dresses are a great way to appear taller. They look amazing on short girls even with flats, sandals or flip flops. You will also feel comfortable all day long.



Crop Top

The crop top will make your torso appear shorter and thus will elongate your legs. Make sure you pair it with high waisted pants or skirts so your cropped top won’t be too far split from your bottoms.



Rock it, wear it! Style it and love it....

Which is your favorite look
