From the bralette for the uber confident to the belly skimmer, there is a shape for everyone. Designers from all over have showcased versatile ways of incorporating the crop top for day-wear and even evening outfits when styled correctly.
Eccentricity was embraced at Prada, with the iconic vintage cartoon car print appliquéd onto tiny bandeaus. These super short tops were then combined with high waisted pencil skirts so that only a peek of golden, summery skin was revealed. Pucci adopted a gypsy style for its Spring Summer 2012 collection with intricate beading and long, floor length maxi skirts. Lace and sheer chiffon kept it sultry and dare I say it, a design suited for evening wear. The ever-fabulous Dolce and Gabbana presented the smallest of crop tops that were not too far away from just being a bra. Possibly the most iconic look of the season, the designs were perfect templates for the vibrant vegetable and flowery patterns.
There is no escaping the crop top, so why not take inspiration from the catwalk and reveal a peak of your midriff for the summer. Combined with high-waisted skirts and trousers, there is no need to reveal too much flesh, in fact the secret to this look is to maintain sophistication.
