The rise of top crops: a brief history
Once considered an edgy fashion choice, crop tops are now a staple in many women’s wardrobes. But what if you want to switch things up? Here are some alternative titles for this trendy piece of clothing.
The midi top: sophisticated and versatile
If you’re looking for a more modest version of the crop top, consider its sister style: the midi top. This type of top ends at or just below the belly button, providing a little less exposure while still showing off your waistline.
The bralette: a lacy option for summer
Bralettes are similar to crop tops in that they’re shorter than traditional tops, but they’re usually made of delicate lace or other feminine fabrics. Pair a bralette with high-waisted shorts or a maxi skirt for a boho-chic look.
The knot-front top: a casual yet stylish choice
If you want a top that’s a little more interesting than a basic tee, try a knot-front top. These tops have a knot or tie at the bottom, which creates a flattering draping effect and adds visual interest.
The off-the-shoulder top: a flirty option for date night
Show off your shoulders with an off-the-shoulder top. This style of top can be cropped or longer, and it’s perfect for summer date nights or outdoor parties. Pair with high-waisted jeans or a flirty skirt.
