The Crop Top, popularized by likes of the Spice Girls and Britney Spears, is making a quick return to the fashion scene. Whether it be fashion greats like Alexander Wang and Phillip Lim, or the racks at a local store of Urban Outfitters and Forever 21, the Crop Top is back.There is a huge difference between the Crop of the Nineties and the Crop of today. First, this seasons Crop Top has a boxy silhouette where the past is much more a shrunken shirt. And second, these shirts aren’t all about showing your tight and tone abdomen, it is all about drawing attention to your waist. These tops should hit below the belly button and slightly about the waist of the pant, making it a style that can be worn by anyone.
This trend isn’t just for the ladies, designers like Calvin Klein and Frankie Morello prove that men can rock the Crop too. There is a major difference between the two tops. The mens top is a lot looser and usually worn over something. In some cases, it is a lot higher on the abdomen, showing a whole lot more of the toned abs. Be careful ladies, the men may be taking over what was once considered your territory in the fashion world, all while looking pretty impressive.
