Crop tops are a great type of shirt that can grab the attention of others. Most shirts we wear fall around hips length and are fitted. A crop top comes to a shorter length, usually around the waist or belly button. Materials can vary, from heavy knits to plain t-shirts to flowy thin silks.
A crop top can make or break your look. This kind of shirt cuts the visual aspect of your body proportions differently than a regular t-shirt. The length and fit of a crop top can vary. A short, fitted crop top will draw attention to your mid-drift. These work best for people with a long torso. Wearing a short crop top that falls close to your waist can work against someone of a shorter height. Petite like me? Try a longer crop top that falls around belly button's length, or right above your hips. If you wish to avoid attention to your belly, a loose billowy crop top works best.
Many girls have those days where you might feel bloated, crappy, or out of shape. Sick of throwing on a loose sweater or sweatshirt to cover up your mid-drift? Throw on a crop top, and feel instantly fierce and energized.

We tend to see crop tops with a retro feel, usually circa 80s or 90s. Many times they may sport an image/pattern that pertains interest to that time period, such as cartoon characters, neon fonts, and other vintage pop culture media. If you're looking to throw on an outfit that gives you that late 80s-early 90s feel, a crop top is a great way to go.

I love this pink t-shirt crop top just about as much as I love vampires.
On that note, I'm off to watch True Blood!
