4. Wrap a jacket around your waist.


Wrapping a jacket around your waist is a very subtle yet stylish move when it comes to hiding skin with crop tops. Our favorite on-the-go-look is a black crop crop and leggings, with a contrasted jacket wrapped around the waist.

6. Overalls


If you don’t want to flaunt your midriff section, overalls are a very casual and cute way to pair with your crop tops. Go with loose fitted overalls, a white crop top underneath and platform sneakers for a casual day out. If you don’t feel comfortable showing off the sides of your stomach, swap out the loose fitted overalls with a more form fitting overall.
