How to style tops with longer back than front

6 replies

You know those tops that come with a longer back than front? How do you wear them? Do you tuck the whole thing in? Or just the back in a sort of half-tuck way?

I have a couple of these - a jumper and a strappy stunner top with a really long back than front. It's so weird, I haven't seen anyone else wear similar tops.

How long are they? If they're past bum length at the back...I don't know...over leggings maybe? Or skinny jeans? Maybe over shorts if you wear them.

If they're more cropped length, I'd just wear with whatever jeans you normally wear or even a skirt.

If you find them too long, you could maybe have a go at cropping them yourself. Maybe the jumper would be tricky if it is wool, but if it's more sweatshirt material, it would maybe be ok.

I wish they wouldn't do this. I see a nice top and then think why the heck is the back longer. Seems daft

You’re supposed to tuck them in at the back and leave them untucked or half tucked at the front. It’s not great look in my opinion.

Oh wow, I had absolutely no idea they were meant to be tucked in at the back and left loose at the front! That does sound a bit of a niche look tbh.

You wear them however suits the bottom half and your mood that day!

The strappy top has a back that goes just below the bum but the front is just below the waist, so there's quite a big length difference. If I wear the whole thing untucked, it looks weirdly shabby. If I tuck just the back in, it still looks odd. Ditto the jumper. At least the strappy top I can crop/alter but the jumper is an otherwise lovely Fatface one.
