Crop tops have been a cool and chic girl’s iconic clothing choice, which is why whether it’s the early 2000s or 2022, it’s still a popular choice for a stylish outfit. Crop tops are often associated with a more relaxed style which is why many women love wearing them.
However, wearing crop tops in a professional setting may be inappropriate. Don’t worry though! Here are 5 cute ways how you can sneak in a crop top without looking unprofessional:
Be Inconspicuously Beautiful with Plain or Matching Tops
Raglan-Sleeve Cropped Tee Linen Wide-Leg Pants
Incorporate a one-colored plain crop top with neutral-colored wide-leg pants. The lack of print on your top makes it more minimalist and the laidback wide-leg bottoms make it business-appropriate.
An easy way to wear crop tops at work is to match them with a pair of wide-leg pants. Most of the time, whether it’s with men or women, neutrals like black, gray, white, beige, and brown are the most popular. Colored matching outfits make you stand out, and look absolutely fashionable.
You can wear complementary accessories such as silver or gold jewelry, and a structured clutch to make the outfit chic.
- Halter-Style with a Striking Blazer
Halter neck cropped tops are some of the easiest to style and layer on. During the day, you can wear a plain crop top, and layer with a structured blazer for a strikingly stunning look. You can complete the look with plain wide-leg pants, and accessorize with a pair of cat eye sunglasses, and a silver watch.
Then, during the night, whether you’re going out with friends or chillin’ at a friend’s apartment for dinner, you can remove the blazer for a more laidback style.
