If the thought of wearing a crop top leaves you cold (all that exposed stomach is both terrifying and chilly), this post is for you. Our Soul Cal Deluxe Flag Bandeau Top is one of our most popular pieces – the retro Americana print and cropped shape make it perfect for summer. But if you don’t want to flash the flesh, just how do you wear a crop top? Let us show you…
This gorgeous bandeau top has been the source of much debate at Republic HQ. We love that vintage-style print, the ruching detail and the washed out colours, but for those of us without the modelesque proportions (that’ll be me then), what do you wear it with? Teeny shorts leave us feeling practically naked, dark denims seem too heavy and with a skirt it’s all a bit much…
By layering a skimpy bandeau top over a loose-fitting white shirt, you’re covering up without hiding that pretty print. Colour pop trousers in a lightweight fabric are a great alternative to thick jeans, and a statement necklace and simple sandals give the look detail without being OTT. Love it!
What do you think – will you be wearing bandeau tops this summer? How would you style this one? For more ideas, take a look at our full range of summer crop tops here.
