Fashion Files: Crop Tops for Every Body Type
Fashion Files: Crop Tops for Every Body Type
02/02/2016 By southbeach
Hey you. Yes you. That’s right ladies, this testament here applies to everyone. We’re hacking into the fashion files of South Beach Official’s confidential filing cabinet to show you the style secrets for wearing a crop top. Every girl can rock the crop this summer. Whether at the gym, the beach or at your best friend’s pool party, a crop top can suit every body type.
LONG & LEAN = PRINTS
If you’re tall and lean, crop tops will look fab on you *pouts with envy*. But if you’ve got a long body, it’s not unusual to feel somewhat exposed around the midriff. So opt for a crop top with prints, patterns and colours (because you can sooo get away with it) and team it with bottoms that are all one colour to shorten your body length. Go for the Mandy Monozone Letter Print Mesh Insert Fitness Crop Top and wear with some high waist pants.

BROAD SHOULDERS = HALTER
If you’re wider at the shoulders and narrower at the hips, you could be an “inverted triangle”. A halter crop top helps to create an illusion of diagonal lines, drawing attention to the centre of your body and this will have a great slimming effect. Try the Rhia Roar Print Crop Top and see how it aligns the eyes centrally.

CURVY = LONG CROP TOP
Long crop tops that sit closer to your true waistline are often a great shout if you have a curvy body shape. Our Riley Gold Foil Swing Camisole Crop Top (available up to size 16) sits at or past your waistline, giving you a crop top look without having to bare all. Style it with a pair of denim shorts and you’ll be pool party ready for your next Ibiza / Miami / Croatia holiday.

SMALL BUST = CUTOUT
Girls with a smaller bust can get away with a lot when it comes to crop tops so embrace the crop top season in SS16 if you’re small and petite! Not everyone can pull off the revealing elements of a cutout bralet so this year is your time to shine. Because cutout tops are everywhere! Our Spirit Grey Back Stap Crop is a super sexy workout top, with enough support for the gym, festivals or your upcoming beach holiday.
PEAR SHAPED = LIGHT COLOURS
The typical pear shape is smaller on top and wider at the bottom but this can be visually reversed with a trick of the light. All you need is a light colour on top and a darker colour on the bottom. If you’re going for a sexy summer crop top, opt for our Siobhan White Dipped Hem Cami which will help to balance out your proportions.
