The fashion trend of summer 2018 puts an end to the eternal dilemma of combining top and bottom! A costume set of skirts and tops will be at the peak of popularity this season.

Even if you never painfully think about what kind of blouse to choose for this skirt and vice versa, you might still like the idea of a set of top and bottom sewn from the same fabric.
Despite the apparent simplicity, such sets look extremely effective, and, as we said earlier, with the help of a shortened top, you can make the waist visually narrower. Most of the models presented by stylists this season leave their stomach open, but this is an absolutely optional condition - for example, when combining a crop top and a bottom with a high waist, the effect of the optical figure correction will be preserved without excessive openness. Well, and besides, no one limits us in choosing the style of the top: blouse with basques are equally popular, accenting the waist is no worse than crop tops!

Most often, a crop top and a maxi or midi length skirt appear in such a set, but designers offer a wide variety of variations: from extreme ultra-mini to quite conservative evening options.

Top + Pencil Skirt below the knee they look quite strict, especially if you reduce the gap between the top and the skirt to a minimum, leaving only a barely noticeable hint of open skin.
Top + full skirt Midi lengths definitely create a retro feel! If you want to emphasize it, be sure to choose the appropriate retro prints, for example, a Vichy cage.
Top + Maxi Skirt in general, they give the impression of a full-fledged sundress, but with its own twist. Linen fabric in combination with frills and ruffles will help create a truly summer mood.
