Crop tops are a midriff-exposing fashion phenomenon that has been popular for decades. They are extremely versatile, andcrop tops for tweens can be paired with almost anything from leggings and high-waisted jeans to shorts and long skirts.
A Brief History of Crop Tops
Exposing your midsection with a short top is a style that’s been around for centuries. In some warm climates, less coverage is also a way to stay cool.
In the West, crop tops were introduced as sporty, athletic wear in the 1940s and 1950s. Later, they became a symbol of women’s liberation in the 1970s, and as a Madonna-inspired fashion trend in the 1980s. Performers Britney Spears and Pink helped resurrect the look in the 1990s.
In the 2010s, crop tops became a mainstream staple again–and remain popular with girls of all ages today.
Why Choose a Crop Top?
These trendy tops can be worn to parties, social events, and casual occasions, depending on how they are paired with other pieces of clothing. However, before your daughter throws on a crop top and heads out the door, consider her destination. Check ahead to ensure your daughter’s fashion sense will be appreciated and that she understands the difference between abelly shirt versus a crop top–some schools may have strict dress codes that disallow certain crop tops.
Crop tops offer more freedom of movement and a way to keep cooler in warm weather. Worn with the right attitude and fashion sense, they are a great way to show individuality and boost confidence!
