A Retro Fashion Trend
Since the mid nineteen seventies crop tops have enjoyed a steady rise in popularity, especially with the younger generation and pregnant women. The main reason for this fashion craze was the fact that they were extremely comfortable to wear and easy to clean and cared for. They were comfortable because of the material used, which was cotton or polyester blended with cotton or polyester mixed with rayon to give a lightweight feeling on the wearer. They are also extremely comfortable to sleep in as they do not restrict the shoulders and hips while sleeping and are quite warm. One of the biggest trends in recent years has been the use of crochet knit tops. Crochet is now a very popular style of fashion making it possible to wear clothing as fashionable as ever before.
The latest addition to this exciting range of fashion is the mini skirt, which has become extremely popular with this year’s fashion conscious women. The miniskirt follows the same structure as the long hemmed mini dress but comes down to the knee. There is now a huge variety of styles and colours for women of all ages and body shapes. Mini skirts are much easier to care for as compared to other pieces of clothing and can be washed in the washing machine with a few simple accessories.
Although many people believe that the original crop dress was made to look and feel like a crop top, it should be remembered that at the time there were no rules to follow when designing and creating new trends and dresses. If you were to visit the studios and view the designs and samples from this period of fashion design, you would find that there were far more people using their creativity to create new and exciting looks. This is what makes the crop top so enjoyable and attractive today.
