Contoured Crewneck from Anthropologie
The idea of cropped sweaters used to scare me. It could and would flood my mind with rancidly-dated images from Clueless and Clarissa Explains It All. The good news is that these sweaters are for adults — in other words: COVER IT UP, LADIES! No bare midriffs for us. These sweaters only work when layering. Below I listed a few of my current faves.

Lovelies, what do you think of this trend? Would you rock a cropped sweater? Is it a reasonable style for cool weather?

I need a cropped sweater in my closet about as much as a backless rain coat.
guest
I would wear them they are cute.
guest
i wouldn’t wear one.
guest
They’re cute but my boobs are too big and would probably push them up.

I wouldn’t wear one. My breasts are too large, thus making it look like a tent.
guest
I would never wear one of those.
guest
looks great on the models, but that’s what they’re paid for. dunno how many real women could rock this look. i might give it a shot though, if i catch one on sale.
guest
This is bringing back nostalgic memories.
omg.

guest
been there, done that, doing that.
guest
it’s cute butttt-I wouldn’t wear one because i’d probably have to take it off anyway. I usually wear a fleece zip up with a cami and tank soo. lol. no.
guest
$165 for a cropped sweater with 20% off
guest
They’re okay.
guest
I wouldn’t bother wearing anything cropped unless I could bare my midriff. Wearing something underneath it just looks weird and defeats the whole purpose of the thing.
guest
Is it just me or have these been available in trendy stores for the past 5 years?
guest
I’d maybe buy one. We’ll see.
guest
I bought like 4 this season, They look killer with high waisted skinny jeans
guest
I would wear one over another shirt in the fall or winter.
guest
I can’t really pull these off, but I LOVE the red and black striped one!
guest
I love this but with my body type, I can’t pull this off.

I don’t understand the appeal of crop tops AT ALL.
guest
People just don’t know how to wear these things.
Specific super cute outfits can indeed be made…. Body shape does play a role as well though.

Ugghhh, I hate. A lot. If you have boobs of any significant size, cropped sweaters just look ridiculous in my opinion, bare midriff or not. Plus it just looks like half the shirt is missing.
guest
No thanks. Prefer not to emphasize my gut.
guest
i hate it bc it’s only made for taller people. short girls like me can’t wear a cropped sweater, we’ll definitely look shorter.
guest
I feel like they only look cute on really skinny girls.
guest
I love cropped sweaters, mainly because they look great on me.
guest
The looks of layering a crop sweater over a tank or something just looks like the fat toddlers that still need to wear a onesie under their too-short shirts to cover their little guts. It’s awful. I can’t imagine a grown woman seriously walking around like that. Either you have a midriff worth baring, or you shouldn’t be wearing crop tops.

Ugh, I’d rather just have a sweater that is long enough. This stuff died at the end of my 8th grade year, and I hope it never fully comes back. That and flared jeans.
