Crank up your glam quotient this party season with crop tops




Crop tops, which were a rage last sea son across the globe, are now back in vogue. Whether it's teaming them with traditional lehengas for functions, or going casual with a pair of printed shorts, this fashion staple has transcended from a brazen navel showing garment in the 80s (remember Madonna's controversial crop top in the video Lucky Star?) to a more modest design. Here's how to stay on top of the trend.

DOUBLEDUTY AS A CHOLI AND BLOUSE

Giving the traditional choli a royal snub, bridalwear designers are incorporating embellished crop tops in their ethnic designs.Depending on the top's length and silhouette, most of these don't require a dupatta, which is what is making them so popular. This garment's versatility ensures that it can be worn as a blouse on a sari.

UPLIFT A PAIR OF CASUAL SHORTS

Looking for a fun ensemble for a casual day out? Team a pair of brightcoloured shorts with a bralet or a boxy crop top. You can also wear high-waisted shorts, if you are too shy to bare your midriff.

ADD VOLUME WITH SKATER SKIRTS

The crop top plus circle skirt combination, popularised by singer Taylor Swift, is cutesy, flirty and great for someone who wants to show off her lithesome figure.

FOR A MORE RELAXED VIBE

If you have a tall and slender frame, opt for a pair of leggings or jeggings that fit well and wear it along with a fitted crop top. This is a comfortable yet stylish ensemble.

LADYLIKE APPEAL TO UNFLATTERING SILHOUETTES

Do culottes make you look tomboyish? Since this garment cuts off at an unflattering length on the legs, it tends to give an androgynous feel. To add a feminine touch to your outfit, pair these with a matching print crop top and heels.

How to sport this style in winter

Crop tops may spell summer, but if it's cold outside and you still want to flaunt one, follow these tips.
Layer your cropped sweatshirts over a button down shirt and pair it with skinny jeans, boots, a jacket and beanie for that winter look.
Wear a well-fitted strap dress and add a cropped t-shirt over it. Don't forget to wear tights for extra warmth. You can also do the same with a heavy-knit skirt.
A cropped sweater and widelegged trousers is a great combination for formal events. If you want to add another layer of clothing, wear a drop-shoulder coat in a bold colour.
A day that's dedicated to crop tops
This year on May 26, a Canadian girl protested against the sexualisation of women's bodies by wearing a crop top to school. The movement gained momentum across the world, with many young women stepping out in this look. This day is now recognised as Crop Top Day.
