i want to wear crop tops but i'm fat

“I want to wear crop top but I’m fat.”

In contrary to popular belief, crop tops aren’t exclusive to flat tummies. Here are some simple style tips to wear crop tops for plus size body types.

 

HIGHWAIST

Wear it with high-waist trousers to define a high waistline and taller profile. Tailor a straight fit structured pair in wool, linen and blends. A high-waist flared skirt is a flattering alternative to trousers.

 

WITH SARI

Sari is a fascinating size-neutral garment which doesn’t come in S, M, L or XXL. Sari is for every-body.

 

 

LAYER

Layering a crop top with a dress is an easy hack to balance shoulder to hip ratio of plus size frame. Pair a crop top featuring shoulder details or fullness with knee length dress or kurta when the hip is broader than shoulder. Wear sleeveless crop tops with long a-line dress to balance shoulders that are broader than hips.
