Bare midriff tops can be a nightmare to style to avoid looking cheap and not like a teenager. I know I don’t want my white belly on show in December but you can’t go wrong with these ways to style a crop top or wear a bare midriff top.

It’s up to you how much skin you show and it’s a great trend for choosing how much skin you show or don’t show and playing with layering pieces, textures and waist lines.

Whether that’s layering it under a sheer blouse, sheer bodysuit, blazer or duster coat or going for a thick chunky cropped sweater. There are so many ways to keep wearing crop tops all Winter long.

How to wear a crop top or midriff top in Winter
If you don’t want to freeze or bare a white stomach in the middle of Winter, try these 11 styling tips to find a way to wear your favorite crop tops and bare your midriff in Winter that works for you.

- Layer fitted crop tops or midriff tops under a sheer top
- Apply a healthy dose of self tanner to cheat a winter tan
- Buy a long sleeve sweater crop top. This can be anything from a fitted style to a cozy boxy hoodie to a turtle neck.
- Choose cut out sweater dresses that look like crop tops and create a bare midriff while covering the sides of our stomach we like the least and being a thicket fabric than most bare midriff tops.
- Work to play midriff outfit: Layer under a tailored vest and blazer for work then ditch the vest for after work drinks.
- Wear your bare midriff top over a button down shirt with fitted jeans and heels or chunky boots.
- Wear a super cropped turtle neck sweater over a long sleeve body suit.
- Ditch the granny knit sets and grab a crop knitwear set.
- If athleisure wears more your style, there are tons of cropped loungewear sets out there this Winter.
- Wear your crop top with high rise pants or skirts to close the gap and have less skin on show. With the added bonus this makes legs look longer.
- Turn your favorite button down shirt into a midriff baring top by rolling it up and under and tucking into your bra to keep it in place. Layer with a winter coat and you’re good to go.
