Women's Crop Tops

Women’s crop tops are a bold and stylish staple for warm-weather wardrobes, festivals, workouts, and modern layering. Designed to sit above or just at the waistline, crop tops can be casual, sporty, or fashion-forward depending on how you wear them. Whether you’re pairing yours with high-waisted jeans, skirts, or wide-leg trousers, a crop top adds a fresh, confident edge to any summer look. Since 1988, we’ve helped women across the UK find flattering, on-trend crop tops that combine comfort, quality, and wearability.

☀️ Why Choose Crop Tops?

Crop tops are more than just a trend — they’re versatile, easy to style, and surprisingly flattering. They’re ideal for:

  • Hot weather comfort, thanks to their minimal coverage

  • Balancing high-waisted bottoms for a well-proportioned silhouette

  • Layering under jackets, shirts, or cardigans

  • Making a fashion statement with bold prints, cuts, and textures

  • Workouts, lounging, casual wear or nights out, depending on style and fabric

1. What is a crop top?
A crop top is a short top that typically ends above or at the natural waistline, showing a portion of the midriff.

2. Are crop tops suitable for all body types?
Yes — it’s all about styling. Try boxy or wrap styles for curves, fitted ribbed tops for petites, and flowy crops for balance.

3. Can I wear crop tops without showing my stomach?
Absolutely. Pair with high-waisted trousers, jeans, or skirts for more coverage and confidence.

4. Are crop tops appropriate for women over 30/40/50?
Yes — crop tops can be styled in elegant, modern ways. Try layering under a blazer or wearing with modest, high-waisted bottoms.

5. What bra should I wear with a crop top?
It depends on the style. Try strapless, racerback, or seamless bras for invisible support. Some crop tops include built-in support.

6. Can crop tops be worn to the gym?
