With the summer heat beaming down on us every day, some might want to switch up their wardrobe. Crop tops seem like the easiest option but not everyone wants to show off too much skin—especially if you’re not necessarily heading to the beach. One option is to wear crop tops that have long sleeves. This way, you’ll still feel and look cool without showing too much skin.
Megan Young recently wore one to Bench Fashion Week.
Jessy Mendiola also wore this black front tie version with high-waisted pants.
If this is a more comfortable option for you for the season, shop our picks below.
