Crop it good

1/13

Besides essentials such as a swimsuit, sunblock and sunglasses, crop tops are another wardrobe essential for the summer.

The show of skin and your waistline not only keep you cool without the weight of fabric trapping heat and sweat, it also makes you look hella confident and sexy. While they’re not exactly appropriate for the office, crop tops are a great addition to your weekend rotation and you can easily wear them from yacht parties to poolside barbecues.

Scroll through for our favourite 12 to wear this summer season.
