Back and December, I met up with Nadine Pougnet while I was visiting Fremantle, Australia.  Nadine is co-author of the style blog Modern Girls in Vintage Pearls.  The shoot that day featured two ways to wear crop tops.  Here are Nadine’s tips on the perfect crop top.  Pop over to her blog to see the full story.

Say yes to:

1. Playing with proportions, balance the crop with a fuller bottom like wide legged high waisted pants or a high waisted A-line skirt.

2. Layering, if you feel uncomfortable showing off your midriff add a jacket to your look so only slither of skin is exposed.

3. High collars, it’s a very flattering shape for us less busty girls and it keeps things a little more conservative.
