Ditch The Crop Top And Add These Going Out Pieces To Your Wardrobe

On any college campus, there are trends that virtually everyone is wearing.

We see one person looking great in something and then we want to add it to our wardrobes and then pretty soon it seems like everyone is wearing that same thing. It’s just how trends work. Sometimes a trend is campus specific, but other times it seems like every person on every college campus is following a certain trend.

The latest of these trends seems to be the crop top and shorts/skirt combination that almost every college aged girl loves to wear out. While this is a cute combination, the trend has become so popular that it is just a little overdone and not unique.

When you go out, you want to look good. You don’t want to look like the girl standing next to you. You want to stand out and look hot, but since the crop top trend has become so popular, it can be hard to do.

So it’s time to ditch the crop top and wear something else on your big night out. Here are some options that will have you looking your best without looking like a clone in a crop top and pair of shorts.

Rompers and Jumpsuits

Rompers and jumpsuits are definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, I know, but that doesn’t mean they don’t make for a great replacement to your tired, over-worn crop top and shorts. These onesies can actually be really chic, depending on the style.

If you want to make this your new going out go-to look, keep some things in mind. Rompers and jumpsuits can be hard to pull off, so make sure you get one that works for your body type.

Also, a lot of rompers can be super casual, which isn’t the look you’re going for when you go out, so make sure that you get one that’s nighttime appropriate. Cotton rompers are typically associated with the day time, plus cotton tends to cling to all of your curves, so it might be best to opt for a different material.

Rompers and jumpsuits with cut outs and sheer cut outs are super sexy, or try one in a fun pop of color like red or hot pink. Black is also always a classic and perfect for nighttime.

Leather Leggings

Something about leather just screams sexy. It has a way of making you feel like the hottest girl in the room when you wear it and what better way to incorporate it into your going out wardrobe than in the form of leggings?

You don’t see a ton of girls out at the bar rocking a pair of leather leggings, so you won’t have to worry about wearing the same thing as every other girl when you wear them like you would with a crop top.

They’re fun and unique, plus they’re leggings, so they’ll be comfortable!

Leather leggings are super versatile, so they can be worn in any season. Pair your leather leggings with a sweater in the colder months and a cute tank in the warmer months.

Either way, you’ll be happy you traded in your standard crop top and shorts uniform for these leggings.

Pencil Skirt

We all see those girls wearing the tight, short skirts with their crop tops every night. They look like clones of each other and their outfits simply lack any real style.

An idea to avoid looking like this is to try a pencil skirt instead of those tight, short ones.

A pencil skirt is still sexy in that it clings to every curve of your body, but it still also leaves a little bit to the imagination because of the length.

You only get a small part of the leg sticking out, whereas in a mini skirt you see all of the leg, plus a super tight cut. A pencil skirt is a more underrated sexy, rather than an in-your-face sexy.

Go for a pencil skirt in classic black or try something more exciting and go with a leather or sequined skirt. Pair it with a sleek tank top and you’re ready for a night on the town.

All of these ideas are simple additions to your going out wardrobe that’ll make a big impact. You don’t want to look like every other girl in the bar when you go out.

So let’s give our crop tops a rest and try out something new!
