Crop tops are back, in a very small way. So far I have seen them in magazines and a few shops, but I haven't actually seen anyone wear one. Maybe that's just because it's March?
I'm rather excited about this comeback - this summer I think I will go for the crop. I know others aren't so excited about the prospect of showing off their stomachs though, and Kate Bosworth came up with a good solution, just wear a crop top under a longer top.
You could create her look so easily. You don't really even need to buy a crop top - just chop the end off an old tee.
I'll be channeling the Queen of the crop top, Carrie Bradshaw. She cropped it a few times, but season four in Prada (above) was one of her best looks.
As with all trends, Topshop is so far doing the best selection. I'm sure I saw a polka dot crop top for £14 in a magazine from Topshop which was so cool, but it sadly isn't online.
So will you crop or not?

never thought I would until I saw this photo of Kate Bosworth... it looks so amazing!! I can envisage a league of bad copies of this though, haha. But it does look really awesome.

Kate Bosworth def does an easier alternative! i still cant decide..partly because i'm slightly cringing from a few crop top outfits i wore in my teen years! i'm sure this time around it will be a far better experience.

Ive done croped tees a bit this past summer, mostly either with a sheer black body suit underneath and highwaisted cutoffes (so only a wee bit of midriff visible) or over a tight bodysuit. Takes a bit of effort to look proportioned though! but sweet once it works. Have also worked out an awesome outfit of grey loose cropped tee with a black leather bra over the top and high waist cutoffs. looks fab!! You should def do the crop sweety!
ReplyDeleteKate looks great in the crop top.. and since here in the tropics it is summer already, you have definitely inspired me to work the crop into my outfits. I'll keep you posted.. but I think I might try it with a long circle skirt. Thanks for this =)
ReplyDeletei'll try on one of those and we'll see... haha

Crop! Last year I was really into wearing crop-over-longer-shirt but it's kinda hot for this summer. Darn global warming. Btw, can we link?
ReplyDeleteCrops are cool but dangerous; you need a well-trained stomach otherwise it looks terrible.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I'm going to try to make one at least.
I love how SJP looked in that episode! She was at Aidan's bar :)
ReplyDeletei love coco election! i know a girl who has the blue (it cost 14 dolars)
ReplyDeletekisses
I have such a long torso, so crop tops... eh. They don't look so good on me. But I love the way it looks on Kate, with the tank underneath. I would totally rock that with one of the Topshop crop tops (hah!) especially the blue one.
ReplyDeleteSnap! I've got a crop post up too, and I'm loving them!
ReplyDeleteFab post! I will crop, but only with another layer underneath - not a big fan of the exposed midriff except on the beach!
ReplyDeletexoxox,
CC
for sure! DIY weekend - making a crop tee and shredded tee
ReplyDeleteI have to say I'm tempted to crop! And, yeah you're right I think Victoria Beckham did wear those shoes, do you know what brand they are?? I can't remember!

ReplyDeleteGreat post. Though anything remotely relating to SATC is great. I personally like the £10 black hook eye one. That image of SJP in that outfit always sticks in my mind as one of her defining looks.
ReplyDeletei always wear cropped tops! but always pair them with high waisted skirts or jeans
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely looking to experiment with crop tops this spring
ReplyDeletestylejustice.blogspot.com
I will! Once I get my stomach looking like Carrie's that is x
ReplyDeleteSJP looked so amazing in the crop top! I'll pass on the look but some women look great in them!
ReplyDeleteI really wanna try working a crop top, especially with a high waisted pencil skirt :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE Kate Bosworth's take on cropped tops! But, personally, I wouldn't! I would be too self conscious!
ReplyDeleteBahh, you gotta have abs or at least no belly fat to pull of this look!!
ReplyDeleteI don't like it anyway, too britney spears in 90's ( baby one more time, anyone?)
ah probably not, at least not yet. haha but i like the kate bosworth idea.
ReplyDeleteand thank you for your comment =)
The SJP choice is cool, but only if you have good abs :D so probably not the best choice for me! and btw. I love your Hit/Miss- stuff! You're always right
ReplyDeleteI've always always loved that outfit Carrie wore. So cute. I would love to crop but unfortunately I don't have the abs to do it and Wellington is entering autumn/winter...
ReplyDeletegreat casual and now elegant!
ReplyDeleteI think they look great, but no I really don't think I will be cropping it!
ReplyDeleteIf I play nice the rest of the spring at the gym I might. Otherwise there is no hope.

I'm on the fence with this style but that certainly doesn't stop me from adoring it on SJP and Kate...gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOmg! That is Carrie Bradshaw? :O
ReplyDeleteHi Coco
ReplyDeleteI like the look but in my case I'll go for the Kate Bosworth solution and wear a crop top under a longer top.

I've had a go with doing this, layering the cropped tees is fun and makes them so versatile!
ReplyDeleteA tad dangerous if your abs are not up to scratch, but you can layer them beautifully. I looove the blue topshop top.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about doing the crop top, but I love the way Kate Bosworth wore hers.
ReplyDeletei love the acid wash topshop one, and i also love another of theirs which is a vest, with the eiffel tower on it.
ReplyDeletehowever, the only way i would crop, it to wear something extremely high waisted underneath as to not show any midriff at all!
xx
I like Kate's way, but I'm not really into what SJP's wearing. I don't know, I've never really liked the cropped tees?
ReplyDeleteHey I fancy cropping it, quite fancy the floral oversized one from Topshop...but I don't know if I'm brave enough to wear it alone...might wear ala Bosworth but with a bodysuit underneath or something...
ReplyDeletehttp://josclothes.blogspot.com/
I'm going fake it by tying my shirt up and wearing a high pencil skirt - it might work. BTW remove the ed comment - 2nd one it is chinese porn!
ReplyDeleteOooooh yeah I'm cropping!! But I kinda need to work on my abs, I'm hoping that buying a couple of cute crops with force me into action
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try Kate's look! It is not as risky as Carrie's
ReplyDeleteps, i followed the instructions here, it looks a bit scary but only takes 5 mins to do :)

I really like the way Kate Bosworth is wearing it...the other way just seems so tacky to me still...
ReplyDeleteI just can't crop ... it's way to Banana Rama for me
ReplyDeleteyou're so right!
ReplyDeletebut i have to say, i think mary-kates dress is adorable, even though i son't think i would wear it
No thank you! Haha I'd be doing the world a favor by sparing them the sight of my unfit tummy!
ReplyDeleteYes, I will crop!! It can look quite old-fashioned if you combine it with mommy jeans but I think with a high waisted short or skirt it could look good...BUT only if you're really skinny which I'm not :P
ReplyDeleteNO! lol i feel strongly about it too!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I am not a fan of the crop top, it's not a look that works for me, I don't think.
ReplyDeletecrop is not for me... maybe in summer...
ReplyDeletePlease link me!!!
XX!!
I quite like the loose, slightly longer ones. But I dono if I will have the guts to wear it out and about in Scotland! lol

In the summer I would do it in the south.. This asks for a 100%flat tummy though, I gotta get rid of the lil lump that appears when I sit down first :)
