Top of the crops // A crop top for every occasion

We’re drowning in Bank Holidays and the festival season is neigh. Purlease don’t say you’re wearing cutoffs and a baseball tee? And come to think of it, your nine to five shell tops and shirting are ripe for a refresh too.

The silhouette of the season is the crop top, and if you’ve been you’ve been subtly ignoring the sartorial sea change, now’s the time to embrace it. There’s pretty much one for every occasion.

How to wear? Diane Kruger, Poppy D and Gwen know how they work best. No Britney-esque belly button fluff on show. We’re (sort of) grown-ups now, with wardrobes to suit.

This means our crop top choices are sleek, tailored and teamed with a high waist. Embrace colour and print if you can fancy splashing on cutesy distinctive pieces from Carven or Kenzo. Otherwise, choose simple clean separates from Stella McCartney, Jil Sander or Alexander McQueen.

See our edit below and make a clever crop top choice to suit the occasion.
