To wear this set, simply put on the crop top first. Since it's off - shoulder, adjust it to sit comfortably on your shoulders. Then, slip into the shorts and tie the self - tie at the waist to your preferred tightness. When it comes to maintenance, always remember to hand wash it in cold water. This will help keep the colors vibrant and the fabric in good shape. Also, because it's made of 100% cotton, it might shrink a bit if you don't follow the care instructions. Check the size chart to pick the right size for you as it fits true to size.
