One of the hottest trends to hit the high streets this coming season is that of the cropped top. This might not always be the easiest item to wear with style, but here are just a few ways in which you can follow in this fashion trend and make sure you look fabulous.

Cropped tops are a great way to work the luxe sportswear look which is everywhere this season. If you’d rather not be spotted in the shiny metallics which seem to be a staple of this look, then opt for a simply cropped t-shirt in tri-blend material for a subtle nod at this trend, with a comfortable, retro feel to it. Whilst many of the cropped tops which are set to hit the high street this year are great for creating a more formal look, the a simple tri-blend t-shirt style is the perfect way to stay on trend while you hit the gym or relax with a game of foxy bingo. The loose fit of this style of cropped top can also offer one of the most flattering ways to wear this trend.

If you’re looking for something a little more daring, then why not for the strappy cropped top – often also known as a ‘bralet’. This is a favorite with celebrities from Rihanna to Katy Perry, and offers much more scoop for incorporating a variety of colours and fabrics. If you love the sporty look, then stick to fitted black cropped tops, and opt for lattice detailing. Pair with high-waisted shorts and chunky boots for a look which is right on trend.

Alternatively, if you’re keen to create a more feminine style, then why not go for a more colourful option? Pastel shades are big news this season, and a perfect way to add a vintage twist to this trend. Team with a maxi-skirt for a slimline style, that looks great with hair worn in a high bun.
