The Crop Top.

The crop top has been there since the 40's....can you imagine that!? Oh am sure all the readers here by then were not born. That's for sure. Anyway, am here to take you through the origin of the crop top.

In the 40's, the crop top was a more conservative way of showing some skin. YEAH, SKIN.

It's had successful comeback in the 70's and the 80's..actually the ladies used to wear them to parties, picnics and look glam!

Then came the 90's...this trend was all over...It was the in thing and I remember I had this amazing top that had some long kinda 'laces' in front...I don't know the name to call it, but I think that rings a bell if you were in this era, the 90's! We were tying the blouses in front!!!

I tell you this trend was the ish thing by then. This girls were simply the best..and every other lady wanted to dress like TLC....oversize trousers, crop tops and pauuuu you good to go!

Then the trend disappeared for a while then made a comeback but with a twist from designers like; PRADA, DOLCE AND GABBANA, SALVATORE...who made this crop tops look sophisticated and trendy..

And since then, the crop top has been the trend and still is the trend. 


J Lo has this perfect waistline why lie! If you want to pull this look and don't have the best waistline, opt for a high waist pant or a skirt. That way, you wouldn't look like you trying too much. Then you get to show little skin compared to her. You know your body, so dress it appropriately!

 Another look that I love.


She looks so classy!

The trick with wearing a crop top is pair it with a high waist skirt or pants. Then kill the look with the strappy heels.


This look is magical! I love it since you can still go to the office with the same look..Then another thing you never go wrong with is the NUDE heels. It tends to elongate your legs...
