First, a crop top sometimes has a stigma of being “hoochy” or even trashy. But that’s definitely not the case with this outfit. Choose a basic colored top and pair it with a high waisted maxi skirt. Not only are these two pieces perfect for creating that effortless style we all long for, but it’s idea for hot summer weather as well, when you want things to stay airy and light, but not necessarily revealing too much. For a budget friendly option, check out Asos’s basic crew neck crop top for just $12.

For just hanging out with friends and keeping it low-key, slouchy is the way to go. Pair a colorful statement-making top with your favorite shorts and throw a big sweater over top. not only will you be super comfortable, but you’ll still look all sorts of trendy but not over-the-top for day to day activities. This cashmere cardigan from Calypso St. Barth will be best friends with the eccentric print from Nordstrom’s top.

If you’re about to hit the town for a night out with friends, it’s the perfect time to experiment with fashion.  You can be a little more daring with prints, patterns, textures, and cut-outs. If you’re comfortable showing a little more skin, wearing it with your favorite skirt or shorts will be an easy look. However, if you want to stay a bit more conservative, high-waisted options will do the job. Crop top and high waisted shorts pictured below are from Urban Outfitters. And the ultra sexy lace crop top is from Nasty Gal.

 For such a small garment, there sure are a lot of ways to wear it, which one is your favorite?
