Spark

This mid-summer heat means it’s high time to let our skin breathe! That being said, while a barely-there sheer crop top à la Bella Hadid is cool and all, it’s also probably not super realistic in our day-to-day lives. That doesn’t mean we aren’t showing a little skin though! Here are three cute and wearable ways we’ll be staying cool and feeling hot this summer.

Flash a Strip of Midriff
The chicest way to wear a crop top these days is with a pair of high-waisted pants, leaving just a strip of skin. Throw an oversized denim jacket over top and you can take this look almost anywhere this summer.

Bare More of Your Shoulders
Bare shoulders in summer is not exactly a groundbreaking concept, but mixing up your tanks with a pretty top that leaves more of the back, shoulder, and collarbone area uncovered feels a little more unexpected and dressed up than the usual tank top.

Show Some Leg
A skirt is always a cool option on a hot day, and the double slits on this leopard print number make it feel fun, casual, and a little flirty.
