Cute and Cozy Crop Top Outfit Ideas You Can Try

Crop tops aren't just for teenage girls. Most of us would barely bat an eyelid at the idea of sporting some shoulder or showing off our legs but come to the bare midriff and I suddenly feel like I need to think twice.

But a crop top outfit is ever ready to make you a style icon and can even be an incredibly versatile and comfortable look to add to your gorgeously grown-up wardrobe. There are also a ton of ways to wear crop tops that don't show any skin at all.

From a pinch of flirty fun to spring and summer season must-have items, you can find a thousand ways to wear crop tops that will make you wonder what the hell took you so long to arrive at this point. So here's my crop top outfits that are actually comfortable:

Skirts and Crop Tops

Why it works for me: Dreamy and demure, the skirt and crop top combo is a look to love, trust me. This pairing still manages to stay sophisticated and floaty even with your bare belly skin on show. Also thanks to the positioning of the skirts sitting higher on the hips, this outfit idea will make it appear that you have a longer torso. Check out my pic above.

How to do it: It's a gorgeous and casual warm weather look to wear a simple black crop with a midi skirt and sneakers. You can also pair a white crop tee with a floral print maxi skirt for a floaty feminine look that is the very essence of boho spring.

Crop Top And Jeans

Why it works: There is nothing that brings more urban sass than high waisted pants with a crop top. The crop top will sit just on the band of your high waisted jean meaning that you don't have to worry about flaunting too much. The crop top and jeans combo is a classic and can easily morph from a day to night look simply by swapping out shoes and adding accessories. While I adore the sophisticated nature of a crop top with palazzo pants and culottes, I also never forget the fabulousness of jeans.

How to do it: This is the best way I can think of to wear these crop top styles we love - either a button up crop top in bright colors with vintage denim jeans and white sneakers for a street style that oozes cool or with skinny jeans, high heels, and a statement necklace for a super sexy date night idea.

Crop Top Over or Under Dress

Why it works: One of the most daring ways to embrace the energy of the crop top has to be wearing it layered over a dress or jacket. Not only does this look achingly chic but it also helps to form a fabulous silhouette for the body. Even better if you can choose something with a color difference that adds contrast - white on black or black on white will always look awesome at the office. The crop over dress or jacket look is one of those details that can turn a single outfit into two-piece style. I also love the crop top under a dress or overall look too but sometimes I wear jacket like the one I'm wearing on my pic. Not only does this keep you cool and comfortable, its also effortlessly chic.

How to do it: A crop top over an oversized long sleeved shirt dress is a gorgeous outfit idea for elegant office wear. If you are after a party girl's clothing style then the crop top over silk slip dress is effortlessly sexy. A plain mono dress with a bright patterned crop will also lend a designer clothes like catwalk look to your bank of outfits ideas.

Crop Top With Leggings

Why it works: There are so many ways to sport the balancing look of a crop top with leggings. We love leggings, they are one of the comfiest and most versatile pant styles in the wardrobe and are like the shape shifters of the fashion world. When paired with a crop top you get that glorious mix of active chic that oozes comfort and also shows the world you are brimming with beautiful self-confidence.

How to do it: If you play it smart you can even rock the black crop top with leggings look for the office, particularly if you throw on a white over shirt and pair of smart pumps for a casual business outfit that screams chic. If you prefer the sportier yoga babe vibe, then it's a tank top style crop in a block color with bright leggings and even a denim jacket slung over for good measure.

Long Sleeve Crop Top

Why it works: The long sleeve crop top is a party favorite. While it may show some midriff, it keeps arms and shoulders covered which can help you feel so much more comfortable if you don't want too much skin on display. See what I mean on my pic above?

How to do it: The best thing about the long sleeve top is that it comes in so many styles. You can choose a front crop top with puff sleeves to pair with wide leg pants for a touch of boho. You can choose an off the shoulder crop top and you can even pair your sleeved crop with a midi skirt for a casual crop look on cooler days. Or you can also put your jeans and add a belt on it.

Shorts and Crop Top

Why it works: This classic summer look is all surf girl cool but can also be easily glammed up and gifts you the chance to play with texture. You can opt for casual country shorts in stripes and cropped white tank tops for smart-casual class or you can add in ruffles, t-shirt style sleeves, and playful pattern type tops with wide linen shorts.

How to do it: High waisted shorts or just frayed edged denim shorts with bare feet make for a peachy beach look whereas pairing your sexy crop tops with shorts and heeled sandals is a cute country girl look for an afternoon date picnicking in the park
