The Crop Top


The crop top was a style that was around from the 1980's into the early 1990's. The crop top is a t-shirt or blouse with the lower part cut off, exposing the wearer's abdomen. The halfshist is a variation of the crop top that is cut off under the bust. Originally shirts were cut at the midriff, mainly football jerseys, to make it cooler. It allowed the athlete to be cooler and have less material. Men began wearing them outside of athletics in semi-public places such as school, or to the mall. Slowly they began to be banned in schools and the trend dies out by the early 1990's. But then in the mid 1990's the stlye came back. However it returned mainly as a trend for women, worn much shorter than on men. They became extremely cropped tops, exposing the underneath of the breast. The style continued into the 2000's and then died out for good.
