A crop top is quite literally a cropped top, just half a shirt that exposes the abdomen. The crop top started gaining popularity within the fashion industry in the 1930s and 1940s, mostly due to fabric rationing that occurred during World War II. Variants like the knotted shirt or tied-up top were popular in 1940s fashion, but the cropped silhouette was mainly a swimwear style until the sexual revolution during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Thanks to those free spirited babes, it was finally accepted worldwide as the sexy piece that it is. Even men wore crop tops in the 70s!

If you go back even farther, the crop top was very popular in Eastern culture. Belly dancers wore crop tops and traditional Indian saris are still typically worn with shorter tops underneath. It took a few decades to get to Western culture because it is not as warm here and were prude AF. Seriously, women's clothing restrictions only lightened up not that long ago. 

The modern day crop top really came to be during the 1980s. Remember 80s athletic wear? The aerobic look was so popular back then - you know you have seen the cropped sweater and leopard combo. Or think about other 80s icons, like Baby in Dirty Dancing or Alex in Flashdance. Dancers today still rock a cropped sweater look! 

In the 1990s crop tops were everywhere in pop culture. Almost every female pop singer was wearing a crop top (hello Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera!) and it was trendy to pair a crop top with low rise jeans. Dark times, but we all survived. After the early 2000s, cropped everything fell off the fashion radar, but as of the last few years they've come back with a vengeance! 

Compared to the late 1900s, crop tops are now typically paired with high waisted shorts, skirts, or pants, much like the crop top looks from the 1940s. They are a staple in sexy streetwear looks and provide a little something extra to a relatively covered ensemble. 

If you are not sure how to style one of our sexy crop tops for everyday, we got you. Tight crop tops look amazing when paired with a high waisted & loose skirt or a pair of high waisted, relaxed fit pants. If you are looking for a sexy going out look, pair the crop top with tighter pants or a high waisted skirt. If you are feeling a playful and casual look, pair a crop top underneath overalls. You get to have flirty pops of skin on the sides and don’t have to deal with the drama of tucking in your shirt every five seconds. Or forgo the rules and wear whatever makes you feel the most comfortable. There is no science to looking sexy but feeling comfortable and confident is the first step.

Another way to incorporate a simple crop top is during the Halloween season. If you are not comfortable with the amount of skin exposure you are having in your sexy Halloween costume, you can easily wear a basic crop top underneath for more coverage. Or if you want the crop top to be part of your costume, we do have cropped peasant tops or cropped schoolgirl tops to go with sexy schoolgirl costumes. Just add a plaid skirt! A sexy fishnet crop top is also the perfect layering piece to wear underneath regular tops, on top of fun pasties, or even with bikini tops for a sexy dancer or sexy streetwear look.

Now that we have given you a number of ways to rock our sexy crop tops, you have no excuse to not snag a few of these cropped pieces for yourself! Start off slowly and create your own sexy streetwear outfit or go bold and design your own ultra sexy date night ensemble. Show a little under-boob if you're feeling spicy.
