Short skirt + crop top
One of the most feminine looks. A short skirt is uniquely sensual and combined with a crop top even more so. Wear your off-shoulder style cropped top with a short high-waisted denim skirt, it can be black or blue. Also, if your top is shorter and tighter than normal, you can opt for a short skirt with a flare. At night, on the contrary, choose tighter skirts. They can be made of shiny fabrics or of the peplum type.
Crop top jeans

With paper bag shorts
Paper bag pants are characterized by having a high waist and being fitted at the waist with a belt or bow, which makes the upper part gather to emulate a paper bag, hence their name. As they are wide at the bottom, there are ten left with a short top, if you feel like more, you can use a bandana-style one, that is, strapless.
Navy style
Striped crop tops are also the latest trend, so try wearing them with denim culottes and a navy blazer. Remember that loafers and espadrilles are the most used in this style, complete the look with a bag with sailor or raffia straps and you will have your favorite navy outfit.
Crop top in sporty look
A sports top, if one of those that we use to take to the gym, can also serve as a crop top. Therefore, if you want to complete the sporty style, you can wear it with short leggings, long high-waisted leggings or sport-style friza shorts. You can also find cropped style jumpsuits so you have no excuse to try their variants.
Set with skirt
You can opt for an equal set of top and long skirt if you have an event in which you must be more dressed up. You can put together a set with light colors, with the same textures, and even patterns. Try to make the skirts very wide so you can compensate with a tight top. The monochromatism or print effect both on the top and on the bottom, directs the attention to the garments and not to your belly.
