7 Style Tips for Wearing Cropped Tees and Tanks

Cropped t-shirts and tanks aren’t just for summer. Crop tops look flattering, fun, and can be styled in a number of ways for everything from a trip to the movies to lounging at home. Here are some of our favorite ways to wear cropped styles.

Topped with a Crisp White Shirt

SKIMS cropped tees find their soulmate when paired with a crisp button-down shirt. Leave it open or button just one button to show your cropped tank underneath. If the button-down shirt billows out or slips off a shoulder, don’t stress, just think of it as effortless. On the bottom, you can either go with comfy shorts to match the top or high-waisted jeans.

Hail the Long-Sleeve Cropped Tee

Cover the arms and bare the tummy. For those of us who tend to get chilly but still want to look cute, this is a go-to look. Pair a long-sleeve cropped top with matching lounge pants or with a maxi skirt or jeans—and now you’re ready for any type of outing.

Sporty & Comfy in Matching Leggings

Pair a cropped tank with matching leggings or drawstring pants and you’ll feel put together but ready for anything—from quick errands to an impromptu coffee run. Bonus: you don’t have to overthink what pants to wear with your favorite cropped tank. Double bonus: you do not have to get off the couch if you don’t want to. Try this look with the ringer cropped tank and soft lounge drawstring pant.

Zipped up and up for anything

The golf course could use a little more adventure. This collared crop top is a casual mix of straight fun and strait-laced. Pair it with biker shorts for a sporty look or wide-leg pants and sneakers.

Cardigan Cover up

If temps are chilly or you love that cozy feeling of being wrapped up in a blanket, pair your cropped tank or t-shirt with a chunky cardigan or classic hoodie. It’s a super versatile look for everyday wear.

Laidback Lounge

We love matching sets that feel like heaven. Pair the long-sleeve cropped henley with the matching boxers or drawstring shorts and then cozy up. Grab your dog, your coffee, or your book, and relax.

Poolside Cover-up

Cover your bikini top with just enough. A crop top works great poolside or at the beach—especially one that feels like a party and matches your suit. Try this mesh rhinestone cover-up cropped top.
