What to Wear If You're Not Ready for Shorter Tops
We know that trying new styles can be scary—especially when it feels like everyone is telling you to wear shorter tops to get the "perfect proportion."
But what if you're just not there yet?
What if you love a little more coverage? What if trying a new silhouette feels more intimidating than inspiring?
We hear you. And more importantly, we see you.
From Allison:
"As a designer who is currently going through body changes myself, I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and not recognize the person staring back at you. Some days, I love wearing a shorter-length top. Other days, I want more comfort and coverage—and that’s okay.
This brand has always been about helping women feel beautiful and supported at every stage. You don’t have to wear a certain thing to be fashionable. You just need pieces that honor your body and make you feel like you again."
Styling Tips for More Coverage (While Still Creating Balance)
If shorter tops feel too revealing right now, here are some easy, body-loving styling tips you can try instead:
1. Try a Half-Tuck
Tuck the front of your longer top into your waistband to define your waistline without fully exposing it. It's a subtle trick that creates shape and draws the eye upward.
2. Look for Curved Hems
Tops like the Becca and Hannah offer curved hems that elongate the legs visually, even when the top is longer. They're designed to float away from the body and provide gentle coverage where you want it.
3. Use Layering to Your Advantage
Throw on an open third piece like the Loren Kimono, Milla Duster, or Diana Blazer. These layers draw the eye vertically, breaking up your shape and creating balance without needing to go shorter on top.
4. Pair with Slim or Tapered Bottoms
Longer tops work best with bottoms that hug the leg. Styles like the Sunrise Jogger, Miki Pant, or Brooklyn create contrast and structure while keeping you comfortable and stylish.
You’re Not Alone—And You’re Not Doing It Wrong
Many women have told us:
“I'm still not ready to try shorter tops but I can see what Allison means when it create a balanced proportion for your outfit. She recommended I start with the Becca Top. The high sides give the same feeling but I get the coverage over my "FUPA" that I need. I like that you can wear the Becca Top with leggings, jeans, joggers—it works with so many different bottoms.”
Remember, style is personal. There is no "right" look—only the one that feels right for you. Whether you're rocking a half-tucked Mandy or layering your Becca under a kimono, you're already doing it beautifully.
