Why a Crossover Top Is a Great Style Help

There are many tops lately that twist and turn at your neck, hip, or waist. One of my favorites is this crossover top that I just bought, and here’s why.

Some days your stomach isn’t as flat as you want it to be, and that dreaded muffin top is creeping over your pants. That’s when I like a more forgiving top. This red crossover top covers any muffin top from tight jeans.

A Wrap Style is Elegant

If you’re looking for an elegant look, this wrap-style crossover top will take you there. Besides its figure-flattering abilities, it is flowy and lovely – a very chic look.

Tab Sleeves are Youthful

This crossover top has a roll-tab sleeve that ends in the middle of the forearm. The rolled-up look not only makes your outfit look casual and effortless, but it is also more youthful than long sleeves that cover everything or short-sleeved tops that reveal flabby arms.

Dress a Crossover Twist Hem Blouse Up or Down

For me, that means gold jewelry and maybe even a jacket. If you have cool undertones, then wear cool, silver jewelry.

A High-Low Hemline is Figure Flattering

See how it is longer in the back to give the illusion that it is actually tucked in at the front? A great look plus no fuss trying to get that front tuck just right.

A Crossover Top Makes a Great Wardrobe Staple

Everyone needs a few basic shirts to have in their wardrobe, and for variety, a twist hem crossover top can be one of them.
