TT: CROP TOPS

We are going to throw it way back today with crop tops! If you can believe it, crop tops were actually first worn many many years ago by Middle Eastern Belly Dancers as a form of decorative beaded bralets. They didn't become popular in North America until the mid 80's when Madonna wore a black mesh crop top in her music video for 'Lucky Star'. Because she was the first popular artist to wear the crop top, from then on, the craze spread very fast and it wasn't long after that everyone followed. 

The trend has died and risen many times and it is rising once again for this Spring/Summer. The crop top has always been a love/hate piece for fashionistas but with that being said, it is a very versatile piece that can be worn tight or baggy with high wasted shorts, skirts, pants, etc. During New York Fashion week we saw crop tops all over the runway from designers including Lela Rose, Tracy Reese, Phillip Lim & Zimmerman. 


What crop top style will you be sporting this spring/summer?

1. IRIDESCENCE.
Add some sheen to your daily attire. Whether its a top or a skirt, the future of fashion is bright. Not that bold? Then play with iridescence in your accessories.

2. SUITS. 
We've always been enamored by men's suiting and no woman wears a suit better than Sharon Stone. Get suited in a floral pattern or print for a sexy play on feminine-masculine fashion.

3. LUXE SWEATSHIRTS. 
Sweatshirts are making a major splash on the spring runways. Paired with prairie skirts and shorts, it's not just for your yoga pants anymore. The baggy looks isn't fresh, but a more sophisticated silhouette offers a flattering approach to what we are accustomed too.

4. BLACK & WHITE. 
That is how life usually is right? And it was a hit song for Michael Jackson, so it should come as no surprise that this trend is still popular. Forget 50 Shades of Grey, compliment your Spring attire with a perfect contrast.

5. WHITE HOT.
White is not just a color we wear before Labor Day, in the winter it's referred to as "Winter White" and this spring it's all about the WHITE blouse. Clean, crisp and chic, dress this top up or down and you will be pretty pristine.
