Everyone remembers the late 80′s and early 90′s trend of crop tops- where actively exposing your midriff is key, in an age where more people than today actually have a six pack. Well here is some news for you: crop tops are back. But this time around they aren’t as Britney or Madonna as you remember, with boxier cuts and slightly longer lengths, crop tops have a modern fashionista edge that exposes the midriff just a little bit less, so that sizes 0 through 10 can wear them alike. No longer do you have to be Spice Girl ripped or Clueless skinny, but crop tops are popping up all over mainstream and high fashion labels, being found in the collections of everything from Alexander Wang to Bodkin and Forever 21 to American Apparel. And while boxy crops having been making their way through the hipster circles in major urban areas for the past few years, this eccentric fashion item has finally made its way mainstream and onto the shelves of the casual advertising or communications major, with more sense than her mom but still less than the New York or California scenester.

Many believe that the development of the crop top trend originates in the oversized silhouette trend that has ruled the runways over several of the last seasons. Instead of looking like everyone should wear maternity clothes when their not pregnant, the crop top represents the same loose fitting style and female sophistication (we don’t have to constantly flaunt our sexuality and curves) without looking frumpy and overtly feminist. By shortening up the tee shirt as well as the oversize trend, the crop top is taking charge of the feminine and sexy yet still a little tomboy look. Beachwear enthusiasts everywhere can be overjoyed that their every day look is currently trending across America between the coasts.
