11 Reasons to Get Excited About Crop Tops Again

Crop tops have been trending for so long now that it's entirely possible you've started to get sick of them. I haven't, because crop tops are my spirit clothing item. I've been wearing them since I was a little kid in the '90s and, although I've had my fair share of body image issues, crop tops have always made me feel like a rockstar. That's why I'm thrilled to report that the look is still going strong, as evidenced by the Spring 2015 runways at NYFW.

The belly-baring trend seems intimidating at first but everyone can wear them, no six pack required. Crop tops are the great fashion equalizer, or something. Maybe I just love them a whole lot and find them wonderfully versatile. If you found yourself groaning "Not again!" as crop tops traipsed down every runway from Erin Fetherston to Honor, I get it... but you're wrong and I'm here to change your mind. Because, truthfully, there has never been a better time to show off your midriff. Crop tops are looking radder than ever before.
