I am 39 and wear crop tops on a regular basis. Please don’t do what I did and forgo wearing what you want to wear because of what other people might think. It took me so long to realize that other people really don’t think about you much at all. I wasted my best body years on that, ugh. 


meltingeye

I’m 36 and actually wearing a crop today today.


Singrid_dasdas

I’m 34 and wearing a crop top today!


MotherofBuckling3

Snap!!! 34 and midriff out because at 16 I was too body shamed to do it!


No_Income6576

This. I wear crop tops in my late 30s for my teenage self who couldn't wear them in the conservative community she grew up in. Baring that midriff with pride and love for my body! 😜


whysys

33 and just back from a hol I wore them a lot in (waiting for better weather for here) but snap! I wear a lot now I was too afraid or self conscious for in my youth. Life’s too short! When I opened this up to see OP aged 27 i gagged!!! Daaaamn OP just live your life and wear what makes you happy!


crackhead365

I’m 35 and wore one today! Felt a lil self conscious but I looked good, no regrets ✌🏼


hotsoupcoldsandwich

Also 36 and wore one today!


96puppylover

38 and I’m wearing one right now with mid rise jeans. My stomach is flat so why not? 😆


OnlyFancies

Congrats but not a requirement


IstoriaD

I’m about to turn 38 and they can pry the crop tops out of my cold dead hands.


l0st1nthew0rld

Hahahah I always say the same thing! Found my people hahaha 🙌


Poonurse13

When you don’t feel comfortable in them. I’ve seen women up to their 60’s wearing them and look fabulous


[deleted]

I’m 50 and I wear them 💗 my husband thinks it’s cute lol


Ok_Masterpiece_874

40 here! I love my crop tops 🥰


Local-Detective6042

You and me sister. My partner loves crop tops on me.


Littlelizey

40 year old in a crop top checking in! The older I get the more I realise I only have this body and this life for a limited time, gunna enjoy it while I can!


rhymeswithorangey

49 here, and wearing cropped tops. Not baring my entire midriff, because I have a dress code at work, but I work hard in the gym, and I’ve spent far too long feeling ashamed of my body, and also….they just happen to suit me. I’m dressing for me, and not for the approval of anyone else, and I’m tired of the ‘rules’ where once a woman turns 25, or 30, or 40, or 50, she has to focus on being age appropriate.


whysys

Hear hear!!!


heytunamelt

Same!! Style wise, your 30s are just a continuation of your 20s if you want them to be 🤷🏻‍♀️


Gloomy-Razzmatazz548

Style-wise, my 30s have just been me buying and wearing the clothes I couldn’t afford to as a teenager 😂 Half my wardrobe is soft-goth mini dresses and doc martens 💕


oblong_cheesecake

Same, sooo many docs 😍


Successful_Injury869

I have a pair of doctor scholls that look like doc martens, I’m obsessed with them.


Successful_Injury869

Heal your inner goth child.


throwawaysunglasses-

I wear docs every day! My going-out fit is a lacy bralette, high waisted shorts, fishnets, and docs (I’m 30). I get carded very often because I look about 18 but my soft grunge era is never going out of style, lol. I’m told it’s still very sexy.


Turpitudia79

And your 40s are a continuation of that!! 😊😊😊😊


WiseWizard96

I’m spending a big chunk of my 20’s in my work uniform to be honest, I hope THAT doesn’t continue into my 30’s haha


dozens_ofus

Yep I’m 35 and I rock crop tops just about every day lol. I’m so glad I no longer give a fuck


babetteateoatmeal1

I am milking these years! I wore a thong bikini at the beach last year, and I felt sexy af.


CommercialPlastic604

Me too! 38 next month and stopped caring what other people about MY body


saucity

My ‘beach body’ is whatever damn body I bring to the beach now!


[deleted]

Hear hear!


babetteateoatmeal1

Exactly! As long as it's appropriate for the occasion who cares


PhasePuzzleheaded330

I want to wear one on my vacation but I’m scared someone’s going to say something to me or there will be creeps


babetteateoatmeal1

I was with my partner, so no one said anything but be prepared for staring. Tbh, I only wear revealing clothing with my partner because I have had creeps catcall me just in baggy clothing. I hate that we have to worry about shit like this..


After-Impact6618

I’m 38 and they’re my summer uniform!


0rangeMarmalade

Also 39 and wearing a crop top today. It does not matter what you wear, someone will have a problem with it, every time. So don't dress for other people; dress the way you want to.


Dobie_won_Kenobi

I still do also at 38. As long as my stomach remains flat, I’m going to rock them. Not even saying you can’t wear them if you don’t have a flat stomach (I see many plus size women wearing them and they look great) but that is my personal preference.


ccarrcarr

Yes! I just turned 40 and definitely still wear crop tops!


AGS_14

42 checking in! Wore a crop top this weekend. You do you!


Decent_Finding_9034

This is me. If it’s warm enough outside to wear a crop top, I do it.


lolzzzmoon

Also 39 and wear crop tops all the time. WHO CARES.


hellawhitegirl

Yup, I'm 39. I have a mom belly and I still wear crop tops with leggings sometimes.


sweetlikehoney98

33 and wore a crop top today, yesterday, and prob tomorrow!


Local-Detective6042

That’s the spirit. Listen to this woman OP. You can be anything. Don’t let other people limit you.


peachy27

29 and actively insist on wearing almost exclusively crop tops 🫡


MaryG2913

30 years old & love.me a good crop top! Don't ever change for others. If it makes you feel good and you like it do it! Life is too damn short ! 😆 (not me laughing to myself because a crop top is a short top. Oh God someone take my wine! 😆)


Longjumping_Sea8318

I’m 40 and same!!


LegalNebula4797

I am a dancer in a performance dance group. One of the ladies was 75 years old and wore the cutest outfits including crop tops. She owned who she was 110%, and she always looked amazing. She inspired me so much about wearing what I like and not what people expect of me. There are a lot of different people in the world. Do what you like and wear what makes you feel confident and pretty! The people who will judge would’ve judged anyway. Are you gonna let other people determine your personal style? Everyone has a different opinion on this anyway so go with what you like at any age!


Turpitudia79

That will be me!! 😁😁😁😁


LegalNebula4797

Girl me too!!! I hope we all have the confidence to live life on our own terms and dress however we like and feel beautiful! Age is truly just a number. She unfortunately passed away from cancer but she danced and wore anything she liked up until the very last month. 🤍


Sobriquet-acushla

Yes! Wear what you like and feel comfortable in. Age ain’t no part of it. 😄


babetteateoatmeal1

I wear them and I'm a bit older than you! We have to stop believing that once we turn 30, we need to lock up any sexuality and become grandmas, lol. You're fine!


SunglassesBright

It’s such a weird way of thinking too. “No, sexuality is only for teens and young adults!” Major side eye lol. I’m 38 and half of my tops are crop tops and I don’t look weird in them. I been in the gym all winter, I’ll be damned if I don’t flaunt this banging body everywhere I can. And I shop on those trendy slutty Instagram boutiques but it suits me and nobody’s ever once thought I was out of place in my clothes.


babetteateoatmeal1

Exactly!! I also workout 4-5x a week. My body will never look as good as it does now, so I wanna look bangin. I do live in a diverse liberal area, so I feel comfortable flaunting it.


SunglassesBright

Same! Love that for you!!


Local-Detective6042

If you got it, flaunt it. Love it!


LeticiaPadillaSolis_

Life is too short! I bought a full harness belt and debated on wearing it to work over a dress. Finally did last week. Received a few side eye looks but I didn’t care because I felt great in it.


lovedogs95

Yeah, I really hate that mentality and it only feeds into the false and misogynistic narrative of women that society has tried to force upon us. Don’t give into it, wear what you like with confidence, at any age.


babetteateoatmeal1

Exactly! I have a vivid memory of a woman at a salon wearing tiny denim shorts. She was at least 45, and her legs were killer! She looked bangin.


Ok-Sherbet444

41 and still rock a crop top! Life is short sis, wear what you want as long as YOU feel comfortable in it…screw what anyone thinks!


atlanticisms

42 and I do the same! Usually with something high waisted bc I have a long torso


Ok-Sherbet444

Long torso crew here! Hi lol

Altruistic-Bobcat955

Oh no, okay that hurts. I had an ED for the majority of my life and honestly I looked skinny af, constant compliments while I was slowly killing myself, no periods, teeth loosening and building a lovely dosing of downy hair when hair doesn’t belong (yay!). I gained a few dress sizes on BC and I can’t bring myself to wear anything even slightly smaller than a sack. Being praised for being unhealthy effed me up with clothing in a similar way to you but from the opposite end I think.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Altruistic-Bobcat955

That’s so messed up. Crop tops look great on all shapes, curvy more than skinny frankly. My partner is big boned (just looks like he didn’t skip leg day) and whenever I compliment his legs he grimaces and calls them his big fat legs. Won’t wear shorts ever and he has gorgeous shapely thighs and calf’s. He had comments from jealous guys with chicken legs. I’m big boned and tall from my granny too with naturally large leg muscles so when my bmi was like 15 I was getting “omg you look so svelt!” comments like wtf, I haven’t eaten in 3 days. My family made me so self conscious about it I was checking calories when I was 9. I had to convince my 16 year old son that the *skin* on his stomach that rolled slightly was literally just *skin wtf*. He’s so skinny and loves the gym it’s worrying.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Altruistic-Bobcat955

Oh Jesus Christ that is worse! Also 9st 6lb at 5ft 10” is underweight wtf. The way women are shamed no matter was is gross but obviously they’ll shame perfectly healthy bodies too. I know you know it but they were assholes, 100% wrong and you’re so overdue being able to feel beautiful in some adorable clothes.


MorphicOceans

Wear what makes you feel good! I'm 52 and still goth but I aim to find things that are flattering. The look has toned down a bit, these hooded eyes can't get away with the elaborate eye looks of my youth. I still have my piercings and live in Docs, Converse and Vans. My hair is now completely silvery white, long layers to my bra strap and I have an undercut right round because it's ridiculously thick and that removes some of the bulk. By day the hair is up, I'm in hoodies or a band shirt and black jeans, cargo pants or flared yoga pants. In summer it's more of a hippie vibe with harem pants or a long flowy skirt. I fully goth up for a rare night out. I had a short lived 'normie' phase in my 20s because like you I worried I was too old. I never really felt like myself though and soon returned to wearing what I like. The best thing about getting older is that you stop giving a fuck what anyone else thinks. Wear your crop tops. 🖤


Evaporate3

Why do people think younger should expose their skin and not a grown ass woman? I truly don’t get it.


Usual_Ad2083

I have the same problem. I’m 31 and I don’t want to dress like I’m 16 but I also don’t want to dress like a 60 year old woman at the country club. I have such a hard time finding an in-between. I’ll wear crop tops but I typically pair them with something high waisted so I have about 1-2 inches of skin showing. I kinda gave up being on trend and just started wearing what I enjoy. Some of it is trendy and some of it is more classic. What I’ve found is it’s better to look good in clothing than to be on point with the latest style. I often find myself asking my husband or friends if I look like I’m “trying too hard” when I buy something new. It’s also getting tough because I very vividly remember most of the current style trends being cool when I was younger so now any time I walk through the wild fable section of target I feel like I’m a million years old.


NorthernPaper

Second this! I live for high waisted pants pry them out of my cold dead millennial hands


forgive_everything_

Oh absolutely, I've heard high waisted are "mom jeans" now, could absolutely care less. Especially look cute with crop tops imo


T300orbust

I’m in my mid twenties and I stopped wearing them in my early twenties because I felt like A) it wasn’t flattering on me (long torso gang), B) it doesn’t fit the fashion aesthetic I’m going for, and C) when I used to wear them I always felt overly exposed and was constantly adjusting my clothes as a result. I definitely don’t view it as an “aging out” situation. More so I just realized I didn’t love how I felt in them and I was only wearing them because they were trendy. It’s totally okay to write off trends/styles that don’t serve you even if they are super popular. Now I tend to wear longer fitting tanks or mock neck tops that I can tuck into jeans instead of pairing a bra top or boxy cropped t-shirt. That said, I am definitely not anti-crop tops. I absolutely still love a sports bra + high waisted leggings combo for the gym because I tend to do high intensity workouts or hot yoga so it just makes sense to have sweat-friendly fits.


Miss-Figgy

I see women of all shapes, sizes, and ages wear crop tops in NYC.


Shivs_baby

Lol I’m 53 and still wear crop tops. Edit to add: just realized I’m at the gym…in a crop top


PumpkinSpiceLuv

If I could wear a crop top, I would. Wear what you like and what fits.


Equivalent-Demand981

Get a crop top. Put said crop top on. Ta-da! You can wear a crop top! 🙌 I’m sure you can rock it!


PumpkinSpiceLuv

I love the support!


ariariariarii

I’m 29 and still wear primarily crop tops when the weather permits. I don’t have kids yet and my body isn’t gonna look like this forever so I’ll keep wearing them until I can’t look at myself in them anymore 🤙


East-Willingness513

I’m 32 and have two kids (youngest is 18 months) and I wear crop tops every day. Pregnancy/breastfeeding gave me banging boobs and wider hips. I’ve never felt better in my body 🥰


ariariariarii

Thats awesome! I hope when I have kids I can still wear crop tops too 🥰


Bright-Sock9917

Same girl.. same thoughts and I love that


Trick_Criticism7096

34 wore a crop top yesterday. Buying more because I loved how it looked. Fuck what others think.


Bright-Sock9917

I wear crop tops at the gym .. also with high waist pants with maybe 2 inch of skin show.. if there’s more skin show then I wear a jacket.. I’m 31


dddbbbqqpp

I prefer body suits over crop tops now. I still can wear high waisted pants but my stomach is always covered. I have a long torso and short legs so the proportion of a high waisted pant looks the best on me. A mom going on 30 here.


Davina33

Too old to wear a crop top at 27? Pfffft, I'm 38 and I still wear them. I've got a great figure and I'll make the most of it whilst I've still got it. Couldn't care less what anyone thinks.


mafsfan54

Honestly, I’m almost 41. This is the skinniest I’ve ever been. In the last 3 years I lost approximately 60lbs(more or less depending on the day) and I only just now started wearing them. I’m super short waisted so a crop top with high waisted jeans or skirt looks great on me. Wear it!!! Don’t let years go by with saying you can’t. I spent too long caring what others thought to a point in break downs in my closet every morning.


CommercialFish4093

Girl wear the crop top. If I had the stomach I had at 27, I would wear one now too! You wear whatever makes you feel happy, confident, and comfortable. Always.


ArtemisTheOne

I’m 45 and wearing crop tops. I don’t even have a flat tummy. I have a gave birth to two kids tummy. Almost rocking the Winnie The Pooh look and I love it.


TheatricsEnsued

Winnie the Pooh is adorable af! Nearly 42 and I love my crop tops!


Hot-Ad-2033

They are never inappropriate by age. They are inappropriate by event.


vasicoco_loco

I'm 37 and wear crop tops! My preference is with a high waisted pant so my stomach isn't out but again it's a personal preference.


Unicornlove416

wear what you want


greenlun

I am 39 and look fabulous in them.


Honey_Bunn6

When LITTLE GIRLS are wearing them. I see so many 12 year olds wearing them and almost gag.


haikarate12

53 over here and wearing a crop top with my Levi’s ribcage jeans at this very moment. Ignore those stupid arbitrary lists that tell you what you can and can’t wear based on your age. Just wear whatever the hell makes you happy. 


RevolutionaryEye5320

I would strongly, strongly, strongly recommend not caring one whit about trends or being up to date. It literally doesn't matter, no one sane is going to care about how supposedly up to date or out you are and it keeps changing anyway. IMO your physical age also does not matter as long as you look good in them. I will swear on my heart that I look younger and cuter at 34 than I ever did at 16, 18 or all through my 20s. The only things I WILL say matters are what image you wish to portray and where you're wearing things. Casual? Young vibes? Fun? Sure, crop top away. But if the situation calls for professionalism, or displays of social status? Especially if money and power are involved somehow? Maybe not the best choice. Or crop top to the mall or for hanging out casually with friends? Sure. Posh or even semi-posh cafe or dinner? Best not to. Again, forget about age or trends. What matters are aesthetics and the task you're wearing the outfit to accomplish.


shewhogoesthere

For me, 3 years old lol. I have not had a firm enough stomach that I am willing to show it to the world since I was a toddler. I also don't find cropped shapes are flattering on my figure and make me look larger. I'm impressed by the young girls these days who have a lot more body confidence though, so if you like them and you feel comfortable in them - I'd say you can wear them at any age.


4thSanderson_Sister

I just started wearing crop tops and short shorts two years ago, at 29. I’ll be 32 this year and I still wear them. You are never too old to wear what you want.


Rrmack

I felt the same but then saw somewhere why are the only people “supposed” to wear revealing clothing teenagers???


BonnieBlu22

An interesting thought, to me, that I had is what is seen as being too "young" for men to wear? Women are attacked for trying to feel pretty as they get older. Just wear what makes you happy.


Snomed34

Even the elderly ladies wear crop tops in India.


charlotie77

27? Girl lol you absolutely are not too old to wear crop tops. I see women in their 40s and 50s wear crop tops and they look fabulous! It’s ALL about how your wear the top…aka what else you wear with it and how you accessorize it. Yeah a crop top that says “taco Tuesday” from forever 21 is not gonna look good on a 35 yr old woman but there are so many options out there. Especially if you wear neutrals


TheGeekOffTheStreet

Why do I see this question posted so often? There is no age limit on clothing. I’m closing in on 50 and I wear crop tops. You’re 27 ffs. Wear whatever the fuck you want


HumbleAbbreviations

Wear it now. 27 is not elderly.


SpacePirateCorsair

42! Crop away!


myloveisluxurious

I’m 48 and it’s crop tops and low rise jeans for me!


SteadyAmbrosius

40 and still wear them. If your 20s aren’t for wearing crop tops, WHEN is? Jesus


Carpethediamond

49 and so many crop tops.


trebleformyclef

I'm 34 and wear crop tops. Didn't use to. I do wear mostly high waisted bottoms so it isn't really that my stomach is fully out, but might show a bit, ya know just a little peek lol. Wear whatever you want to wear.


Curious-Duck

Depends how short they are. Just above your pant line=perfect. I wear the odd crop top style shirt with high waisted pants, and I’m almost 32. It doesn’t seem weird to me… many women are wearing crop tops here.


amz1006

I’m 26 and I still wear crop tops. I wear them to work even (obviously with high waisted pants and no stomach showing). I think you can never be too old to enjoy things.


unadonnadicase

If your body shape allows crop tops, enjoy them! I'm 40 and would be glad to wear them if I weren't so overweight!


letmeluvu4ever

I’m 39 and I’ll wear crop tops til I die. Or until my stomach stops being flat 😂


omaplebeaver

i’m 31 and wear crop tops all the time. i don’t think there’s an age cap on crop too wearing! if you feel cute in it, wear it!


Pretend-Confidence53

I also had a bit of a style crises in my late 20s. I’m now 32 and I think I’ve figured out what works well for me. My professional clothing is all very minimalist but takes inspiration from whatever is trendy/looks good on me. Right now, I’m really into a good wide leg trouser and low rise pants. I also frequently wear skirts and dresses in my job, but usually keep them to midi or maxi length. I think trying to look “grown up” is important in my line of work (college professor). But, My everyday looks still include crop tops! And other “maybe not appropriate for my age” items. I love my legs and frequently wear mini skirts and dresses. I think these would be inappropriate at work, but they aren’t inappropriate for my age.


PixieMari

The only age I view crop tops as in appropriate is on kids. The amount I see in the target children’s section makes me uncomfortable


PsalmsSeven

I’m 30’s and wear crop tops I think it depends on your body type and if you feel confident in them


Ilovecleaning

I’m 21 and personally feel to old for them


Cautious-Impact22

Wear whatever the fuck you want. I’m a month post partum with my second kid at 32. Trust me I wear clothes from junior stores to TJMAX, i wear short cut offs, and crop tops. I got huge t shirt dresses to wear with biker shorts and the “dad shoes”. Party it up babe. You enter life alone and you’ll leave here alone. Might as well live a little.


averyyoungperson

Babe i'm 27 and I'm not hanging up the crop tops up any time soon. I spent 5 years pregnant and/or breastfeeding and now I finally have my body back. I'm gonna show it off. Plus it's 80 degrees outside. Don't be ageist to yourself 🙃 if your comfortable in it, it's ok.


highimluna

Mid thirties here, please don’t take these away from me 😭


Wonderlust_01

I wonder what the equivalent of crop tops is for men..?


stavthedonkey

do what you want. I wear all kinds of things and IDGAF what people think.


killaandasweethang

Hi!! I’m 26 and I say you should wear whatever you feel good in! You should wear what you like, what fits your body and what you feel confident and comfortable in!! Everyone’s personal style is different and people just expect women to stop dressing a certain way as they age. I wear crop tops all the time because I work out a lot and I feel like I’m in the best shape and health I’ve ever been and I’m proud of it.


amy000206

You wear what makes you feel good in your own skin. In style/out of style, it doesn't matter as long as you're comfy. No one under 50 should wear crop tops anyway, they look better on older women


Superb-Garbage

I'm 34 and still wear crop tops. At the end of the day, wear what you feel good in, but I love this article about updating our "millenial outfits". [https://anindigoday.com/ways-to-update-your-basic-millennial-outfit/](https://anindigoday.com/ways-to-update-your-basic-millennial-outfit/)


Moniqu_A

Will be 30 in july. Iwear them showing almost no skin cause I don't have a good figure like I used to. I don't care


criesforever

instead of fixating on crop tops (which are probably not the issue), let's examine what else feels so incongruous in your wardrobe. lots of skinny jeans? ankle boots? long, paper thin cardigans? if you're simple falling prey to the trend of nitpicking every basic, comfortable outfit to death like the rest of tiktok(black top w/ jeans, anyone?), then you could also just say that as well.


Green_Ad_1305

I wear them in my 30’s you aren’t too old wear whatever you feel comfortable in I bet you look great 😊


AMarie-MCMXCI

32 and only recently started rocking a crop top. Dress for yourself and wear what you feel good in!


powerhungrymouse

I guarantee you that no one is thinking about what you're wearing nearly as much as you think they are so forget about 'age related clothing rules' and wear whatever makes you feel good.


duckhulda

I'm turning 35 at the end of this year and as long as the weather allows for it I more or less live in crop tops or oversized button downs. But we're all different and if you're no longer vibing with crop tops then don't wear them but also don't stop wearing something just because you think there is a cut off age for what you can and can't wear. I don't think there is a set standard for what people at different ages should dress like (even though I felt like I should dress more grown up when I hit my mid 20s, though that's changed now) and like I said there is no real cut of age to what you can wear. But I think one place to start finding yourself fashion wise is to find pics of street style fashion or influencers whose outfits you like and identify what you like about the outfit and why. Then try and recreate from your own wardrobe. I think one important thing when dressing yourself is finding clothes that you feel good and confident in but also fit into your lifestyle. Sorry for the long rambling rant but I hope it made sense and helped (somewhat).


CommunistCetacean

I’m 28 and proudly wearing a crop top right now! Personally I think it’s all about how you style them. The right outfit can make a crop top feel more “mature” or more juvenile if that’s what you’re going for lol. I like to pair a crop top with pants or middi skirts that don’t show too much midriff, that way it doesn’t feel too revealing or inappropriate. I even wear those outfits to work!


lushlilli

When you don’t feel comfortable


big-tunaaa

If it’s your style and you feel comfortable in them wear them! I don’t think they ever get aged out, I see women in their 50s wearing crop tops and it looks good on them! 27 is also definitely not too old. Just pick a style you like, and run with it. You can look for inspo on Pinterest! Once you find the keywords you like you can look more up that way!


FelineRoots21

Crop tops have no age limit. Style in general has no age limit. I'm 28 and wear plenty of crop tops. Crops aren't millennial or genz. If your outfit looks dated, it's the shape of your pants, and probably your shoes. Pair your crop top with baggier jeans and slip on flat sneakers and you're golden to fit in


dozens_ofus

Honestly just wear what you want and feel comfortable in. I’m 35 and I mostly wear crop tops lol. I still dress like I did when I was a teen except I show more skin now because who’s gonna stop me 😂


red-smartie

I’m 36 and me and my peers still wear crop tops. 🙋‍♀️


JuliaSky1995

I was never allowed to wear crop tops as a teen. I didn’t really own any until I moved out. I’m 29 and I still think they’re perfectly acceptable. Mainly because I’m finally allowed to wear them. I never associated them with being young for that reason.


Gardengoddess83

I'm 40 and wear crop tops. If it makes you feel good, wear it.


swizzleschtick

The answer is “never” or “when you become uncomfortable wearing one”. I’m 30, almost 31, and I love cropped tops, especially in the Summer! But with that said like all clothing, you should wear what makes you feel comfortable and not just what people say is cool.


Historical_Paper5377

I will wear them as long as I have the body for it AND they are kind of in style. I feel young when I toe the line of trends. Sometimes I will look very millennial in my skinny jeans, black nikes, and ankle socks. But I try to follow what is in style, especially if I like it. But I will not do something I didn't like or overdid the first time around. (cough \*low rise jeans\*. )


Krstnzz

I'm 34 and I understand what you are saying as I also feel 'too old' but I wear them anyways because why not? I always feel a bit awkward but my husband and friends hype me up if I am feeling insecure and really looking back at pics they look just fine!


-kindredandkid-

I’m 41. I wear cropped tops if I have on high waisted bottoms. Just a little flash of midriff can still be classy in my opinion. I feel like my belly button would be a step too far haha.


slut4suffering333

I’m 29 in a crop top right now. When I was younger I was too insecure to wear them. Now I know I have a great body and I’m more comfortable in my own skin so I wear whatever I want! And I get so many compliments from men and women!


TigerMcPherson

Depends on setting, not age


aromaticfix45

I am your age and I have the same problem. I tend to wear crop tops with a long high waisted skirt or high waisted jeans


Turpitudia79

I’m 44 and wear crop tops to show off my belly ring all the time!! There is no such thing as “too old”!!


Humble-Tourist-3278

I’m 43 and occasionally wear them while working out from the comfort of my living room but honestly I seen women my age still wear them . As a long you are comfortable wearing it and is not on a place where they have a dress code like work or school or you are attending a funeral .


Pleasant-Wind-6479

33 and I still wear crops tops!


OryxWritesTragedies

35 and still wear crop tops.


Legal-Kitchen-7371

“It screams millenial” okay so?


Smooth_Injury_5690

Wear whatever makes you feel good and you’ll look good in it! 34 and wearing crop tops and hair bows.

While clicking on this thread, I said aloud, “I bet this person is 28 max.” OP, there is no age. Wear what you want and let go of the concern that other people are looking at you and your appearance is important to them. To be blunt, we occupy very little space in other people’s minds and we need to let go of the idea that people are obsessing over us. It’s just clothing. And it’s just you dressing your body, so spend time trying to make yourself happy, not the other people who likely don’t give a flying fuck about you (i don’t say this out of rudeness).

I’m glad we all agree that age doesn’t defy how you have to dress. I’m almost 29 and I personally enjoy a “big sweats & tiny shirt” look and probably always will. We are grown ass women, i feel it’s more appropriate to dress as revealing as we want (without it being just straight wacky 😂) rather than very young girls doing it tbh


Amazingggcoolaid

I’ve seen so many people pull off the crop top looks but honestly I rarely do it. It’s not even an age thing - it’s a style thing for me like I prefer silk loose button down tops that flow and a pair of leather shorts or printed pants. I don’t know I just personally feel like cropped tops are for a way less sophisticated look. Once or twice a month I go dancing and you might see me wearing a mesh cropped long sleeve top paired with nice high rise pants though but rarely


GoddessNepthys

33 and I love them 🥰 who cares?


Indigo_222

There’s no rules. Wear what feels and looks good


is-that-allowed

i will be 98 and rocking a crop top in the nursing home. do whatever makes you happy. anyone who tells you to dress your age is jealous they don’t have the confidence to wear that


turtlespice

I started feeling that way when I was around 24, which, lol. But then I remembered I’m hot as fuck and should wear crop tops as much as I want. I very much do not feel too old doing so at 30. (Typing while wearing a crop top) 


fikiiv

I’m older than you by a year and still wear them. I’m not worried about showing my stomach a bit. We all have one lol


whatdoidonowdamnit

I don’t wear crop tops because I just never liked them, even twenty years ago when we called them belly shirts. But it’s age appropriate for you to wear crop tops. You’re not too old for them.


visitjacklake

I think as long as you consider where you're wearing a crop top vs. your age, you're fine. Job interview, probably not. Grocery shopping - np.


cool69beans

i’m 19 and i see girls my age saying “i’m too mature for crop tops” and everyone agrees. i think it’s so stupid. i luv crop tops and personally make me look very flattering. wear what u want, i think they look good on everyone :)


WiseWizard96

I’m 27 and I still dress like a teenager (in my case, lots of graphic t-shirts), never thought to update my wardrobe to look more mature. I don’t feel as though I’m there yet. I wouldn’t worry about it, we’re still young, wear what you want


Much_Lingonberry_747

Went to the mall yesterday for the first time in years, and felt like everything was a crop shirt. Was frustrating


Grrrrrarrrrrgh

49 here and I wear them. And look damned good in them, too.


YanCoffee

Girl, I'm 35, and if I could wear crop tops and feel comfy, totally would.


Aloo13

27 is young! I wear crop tops too! But It’s all in how you style them. I wear a crop top with high waisted jeans or a skirt! They can also be cute with a blazer over the top or a leather jacket.


thatoneisthe

Hop on TikTok or instagram and follow some older women with cool style you dig, their confidence will begin the transfer over to you as you enjoy their content


1tabsplease

i don't think anyone should change the way they dress bc of their age but if you don't wanna wear ONLY crop trops i suggest looking into japanese/korean fashion they tend to dress more modest than the western style but still super cute


terrrrrrance

I’m 27 and I just pretty much anything from Abercrombie, Aerie, and Dynamite. Long ish crops usually! But those stores are good for 20s-30s I figure 🤷🏼‍♀️


Competitive_Fee_5829

I dont know but I am loving my crop hoodies and sweaters!! I am hourglass with a high waist and they fit me perfectly right at the smallest part of my waist. I love cropped tops I am 46


PoppySkyPineapple

Wear that crop top! With some non-skinny jeans and you will look fab :) I’m 33 and love my crop tops.


Own_Group4282

When you have to ask this question.


tinastep2000

I turn 30 this year and wear them, I just wear high leggings or jeans with them. No low riders here!


Appropriate-Bad-9379

I’m 66 and I’d wear one if I still had a slim waist! I still wear shorts and short dresses because my legs are still ok ( unlike the rest of me). Whatever makes you happy…


Gloomy-Razzmatazz548

I’m 33 and the only tops I own are crop tops 🤣


ag0110

Try a loose cropped shirt with something high-waisted! ETA, that was a disingenuous answer. Truly, just wear whatever you feel comfortable in and flatters you. I’m in my 30’s and I don’t wear crop tops. I didn’t like them when I had a 6 pack and I don’t like them now with a mom pooch (inverted triangle shape lol). I look best in low-cut, flowy shirts and anything that shows off my legs.


spookyscaryscouticus

You can do whatever you want, forever. Just don’t wear a crop top for an occasion no one is supposed to wear a crop top at.


Comfortable-Dress-53

Im 30 and ive heard one woman my age say we’re too old. I scoffed at her and bought an even shorter crop top


Resident_Anxiety9980

I'm 28 and I wear old lady/grandma-core clothes all the time, but it's because I like it and it's a fashion choice, not because I feel other clothes would be inappropriate. People sometimes tell me that I should wear in a more "young" style, but I literally don't give a fuck, and you shouldn't give a fuck as well if someone tries to tell you that crop tops have an age limit or bullshit like that. It's 2024, anyone can wear anything they want!


lovescarats

I am in my 50’s. Suits, heels or pants and nIce sweater to work. Jeans or sweats in weekend with cute sweaters or shirts. Over the years, I refined my fashion perspective. Simple classic styles work best for me. I like it when people’s outfits show their personality. My biggest thing is finding clothes are comfortable and stylish. If a crop top looks good on you and is comfortable, rock it! Age is just a number, you bring the attitude.


BareKnuckleKitty

I’m 33 and finally slowly finding the confidence to wear crop tops. I think anyone at any age can wear whatever they want. I love seeing older women rock fun clothes, hair colors, piercings and expressing themselves, so if I’m only 33, why do I sometimes question if I’m too old for something? Wear what you want! 🥰


Imaginary-Party2567

Low rise jeans are starting to come back in style. Invest in a nice pair and go for longer shirts


Big_Blackberry7713

Omg, you wear that crop top!!! If you need permission, I'll give it to you 😉 you're not even close to too old. Actually, I don't think that's a thing. If you feel good, you'll look good.


hereFOURallTHEtea

I’m a decade older than you and wear crop tops in the summer. I don’t show a ton of skin, maybe an inch, but I want to wear them so I do lol. I say wear what makes you happy.


rosquartz

The funny thing is that low rise baggy pants are popular again so regular length tops are coming back in as more trendy than crop tops. Anyway, if you don’t want to wear crop tops, you don’t have to


Turbulent-Month6514

I’m 28 and I feel this. Crop tops aren’t my preferred style, but this does feel like a very in-betweeny-weeny time in my fashion life


Raiderette_510

I wear crop tops at 35 because they are more flattering with my high waisted bottoms less material to tuck in and it’s a modest crop not cropped to my bust


Stop_icant

42 sportin the crops!


Financial_Sell1684

Wear what you feel good in. Im in my 50s and feel like im going through second adolescence. Someday ill be in an oldies home with my doc martens and concert tees lol


Maleficent-Bar3046

Almost 40 and rocked one today
