Not so long ago, people didn’t like to talk about the fashion trends of the past, but ever since Gen Z has taken over, almost every popular clothing brand has started taking risks in terms of launching old-fashioned outfits such as high-waisted pants, long sleeve crop tops, and white slip dresses. 

These outfits are no longer designed or created for young pop stars but rather for individuals of all ages. If you plan on buying a crop top and this is your first time trying this outfit, you must read this post. 

Here, we list some of the most essential tips and things you must consider before wearing a long-sleeved crop top!

Here are a few Important Things to Consider Before You Wear a Crop Top!

When you wear a crop top, you’ll be flashing some midriff (part of your belly), so consider a few things before trying out the outfit.

1. Debloat Your Belly

If you have a bloated tummy, the crop top isn’t going to look good on you, or at least we don’t think it would be a good idea. It is best that you eat foods that are rich in potassium. Avocados and carrots can help you maintain sodium levels and debloat your belly. Drinking water can also help you with this process. You can also hit the gym if you’re into physical activities. 

2. Pick the Right Type of Crop

If it’s your first time wearing a crop top, you must start with the ones that reveal any skin/body parts. The pseudo tops are the ones that are shorter than regular tops, but they would not expose your body, which is why they are considered to be perfect for entry-level individuals. But if you are comfortable with exposing your bra line or naval strip, you can choose any crop!

3. Get Stiffer Material

When buying a short or long-sleeved crop top, you need to make sure that you stick it with a stiffer material. Softer or flowy materials would make your overall look sloppy. We would suggest you buy crops made of heavy fabrics so that they can hold their shape. 

4. Ensure that You Have Enough Breathing Room 

If you end up buying snug tops, you are going to face a lot of irritation. You need to make sure that you get the right size. The one that creates an illusion of a smaller middle is ideal. 

5. Prepare Your Skin for the Top 

Wearing a long-sleeved crop top will save your arms from the flashing eyes of people but not your belly. Everyone would be looking at your stomach, so you need to make sure you prep your skin for this kind of exposure at the party. 

Besides debloating, you must also ensure that you have waxed and removed hair (if any). Also, you must use a lotion or moisturizer instead of leaving your skill nude for tanning. A tan glow may be slimming, but it will be awkward when your belly is three shades darker than the rest of your body. If you want to tan, ensure your face shade matches your tummy.

6. Cover Other Parts of Your Body

When you choose to wear a crop top, you have decided to expose your midriff. Now this is enough for the party, and you need to ensure that your cleavage, back, under the butt, and other erogenous parts are covered. Exposing one part at a time is enough, especially if it’s a casual party where you will meet tons of new people!

7. Always Stand Up Straight 

Posture is very important when you are wearing a crop top. You need to make sure that you sit straight, walk straight, and maintain a straight posture so that you look more confident and refined. Maintaining a solid posture is also going to help you avoid any innumerable bumps, rolls, and awkward angles that commonly result when you crouch forward. 

8. Loosen Up Your Hair

The main purpose of wearing a crop top is to show that you are fun and cool. If you tie up your hair, it is going to kill this purpose and give you a very nerdy look. You can make your look fun by losing your hair. A messy and low ponytail is best if you don’t want to leave them completely open. It is best to give yourself some time to make up your hair in a way that suits the crop top look. 

9. Keep Yourself Relaxed

You must not be stressed even if it’s your first time wearing a crop top. Not eating, talking less, or whittling down in a corner isn’t okay. You have to relax and eventually get comfortable in your own space. If you are uncomfortable, it is best to wear the crop first with your close friends so that you can get comfortable with the output and know how to carry it. Once you are confident, you can wear it publically whenever you want, even on your wedding day!
