Crop tops are as popular with fashionistas as ever. Once you’ve found the courage to show a little more skin, you don’t want to give that up again in late summer. The good news: We don’t have to, because we can’t currently avoid so-called pin tops.
What are pin tops? And how do you wear the new fashion trend?
As the name suggests, the pin top is only held together by a pin or something similar. Most of them are fine-knit cardigans that get a modern update with their revealing center and thus finally outgrow the stuffy image. Emily Ratajkoswki wore a summery pin top by Cult Gaia in June 2021 and sparked mixed reactions at the time. At the time, “Page Six” was still critical that the model had “had a pre-programmed fashion mishap”. In less than three months, the pin top has blossomed into a fashion must-have for the it girls. However, one question immediately arises with the top with the “curtain reveal” look: How can you make pin tops suitable for everyday use without revealing too much skin? We were inspired by American fashionistas and are showing you three great styling inspirations.
Not naked at all – that’s how elegant pin tops are
Hailey Bieber not only wears pin tops privately, the trend is also used in the photo shoot for “Vogue”. Stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson combines a black cardigan with an embroidered bouclé jacket, which is held together with an elegant golden pin. The noble materials and golden elements make the look very elegant.
Corsage top with a difference
It is not a corset or a vest that Ariane Grande wears in her live performance of “my hair”. However, you need a bit of courage for this outfit, as the material is thick and threatens to fold outwards at the sides. Double-sided tape can help here. With such an eye-catching top, however, the rest of the outfit should be kept simple, otherwise the look will quickly appear overloaded.
Monochrome is king
No fashion designer is a bigger fan of pin tops than Jacquemus. In June 2021, he sent top model Kendall Jenner down the catwalk with two different pin-top looks at his “La Montagne” show. Bella Hadid is also a fan of his creations, she wears a black cardigan off the catwalk.
Megan Fox is an absolute eye-catcher in her monochrome power outfit, consisting of a pin-top cardigan, pencil skirt and bag, in which she strolls through Los Angeles. The actress is known for loving outfits that stand out and show off her assets. The open top shows her well-trained core, but at the same time offers enough protection against a clothing breakdown. The bright strap heels contrast in color with the rest of the look and optically lengthen the legs of the actress. This extravagant style may not be an outfit for every day, but this extravagant style is ideal for a party, a wine evening with friends or a dinner date.
