Women's Crop & Tube Tops

  • Learn More About Women's Crop & Tube Tops

    A women’s crop top is all about the hem—it’s shorter than your average shirt and often shows off your entire midriff. Some crop tops end only slightly above what you’d typically expect, while others have a hem that finishes immediately below the bust. Sellers on Etsy feature everything from women’s long-sleeve crop tops to women’s cropped tank tops in a range of fits from slim to flowy.


    Women’s tube tops, on the other hand, are a single piece of fabric that wraps around the torso without any straps to hold it up. For that reason, tube tops are typically skin-tight and made from stretchy fabric that hugs your curves. Tube top necklines fluctuate from straight-cut to sweetheart, and the hems vary widely—many are cropped, while others go all the way down to the hips.

    Women’s crop tops and tube tops have been in style for decades and are still hot today. As soon as they became available, women’s crop tops and tube tops were a sensational hit—although for different reasons.


    The crop top’s infamous design initially gained fame in men’s sports in the 1980s, most notably on the football field and in gyms where being bare-chested wasn’t allowed. Their distinct style took off in the fashion industry, and nowadays, they are one of the most popular women’s tops and tees.


    Tube tops were created for women right from the get-go in the 1970s and rose to popularity immediately thanks in part to influential pop icons rocking the design. Tube tops cemented themselves as a quintessential style with retro roots but still slay in a modern way to this day.
