Sainani suggests putting together an embellished net crop or a lace bralette over a fitted crop top and a flared skirt. Playing with lace, we suggest a net leotard peeking across the midriff. Over this, add a loose crop or a tee roughly cut into a crop which you can wear as is or tie into knots near the waist and shoulder. Pair this with cargo shorts or loose capris and strappy heels.

Upcycling is cool

Other fun ways to play up your crop top is to repurpose your sari blouse into a crop top, or get inspired by Julia Fox and wear a thick-width belt as a top. You can also upcycle your old denims into a crop. And before the weather gets too hot, play around with layered tops.

Works for all

Sainani highlights that crop tops can be worn by all bodies, and adds, “It’s not necessary that you need to have a particular body with abs to wear crops. You can accentuate features apart from the [midriff], if you have to draw attention to strong shoulders and arms, go for a tube crop with high-waisted pants.”
