When curating your standard office outfit, people tend to steer along the safe side of things, which often refers to being decently covered up. However, in the Spring and Summer months, what are you to do with all of the crop tops you have sitting unused in your closet? Most people may say it’s impossible to maintain a sense of professionalism when dressed in a crop top, but I beg to differ. By pairing a crop top with a high waisted skirt, you look exceptionally put together. You could also style your crop with some high waisted pants for a more casual look. It is important to get good use out of all the crop tops you own. It’s also always a plus to be able to elongate your legs by way of high-waisted bottoms. Another great way to style crop tops at the office (and even on the weekends!) is with separates. Invest in a matching crop top and skirt ensemble and you will have an instant outfit on hand. By incorporating crop tops into your office wear, you will be able to effortlessly embrace Spring and Summer trends at work, while also remaining appropriate for the office.
