I wanted to start off by saying, I never thought I would be writing an article on crop tops. Since I am in fashion, I go over so many different styles, but crop tops have definitely crept up over the last few years. 

Personally I am not exactly into showing off my midsection necessarily. It's not because I am self-conscious, I am happy with my body but mostly because I prefer to stay a little more on the modest side. I can be a shy girl! I tend to wear my crop tops as a layering piece or with high waisted jeans.

Side note- And while a lot of crop tops may be cut pretty short, not all crop tops are made the same. You can find some longer length crop tops and even sweater crop tops for winter. 

I also wanted to mention that I actually do love crop tops for several reasons. The first is that crop tops look SO GOOD with high waisted jeans! Crop tops are also a perfect choice when you want to wear an oversized jacket, or even a shorter jacket. Crop tops are awesome for layering! Sometimes outfits just dont work with regular length tops, so a crop top comes in handy here. 

Sometimes the shorter length of a top is exactly what you need to complete an outfit. So they are definitely an important part of your wardrobe and can play a supporting role. When normal length tops just won't work, go for a crop top and you'll be surprised by how it can elevate your outfit in the best way. I will explain more below.
