I bought this top its shorter than I thought and I'm not sure if I will look awful. I was planning on wearing with a checked shirt or denim jacket and converse/ Van's so its casual but dont want to look ridiculous if I'm too old. Thank you

You don't look ridiculous.

You do sound ridiculous. It's a normal white top!

thedevilinablackdress · 09/11/2020 15:42

err, it's a plain long sleeved t-shirt. What am I missing?

Littlepiggiesinblankets · 09/11/2020 15:44

Honestly, you could have said any age and I'd have said yes - if you love it, wear it.

Sleephead1 · 09/11/2020 15:44

Oh sorry I meant the cropped part because you can see my stomach. I havnt worn anything that shows my stomach since before I had my little boy.

Depends if you feel comfortable, especially when you are sitting down!

I don't understand why cropped tops cause people to question themselves. I'm Indian, and Indian women have been wearing them with saris for centuries. Women of all ages. They look fab, everyone can wear one.
You look good OP, of course you can wear it

MrDarcysMa · 09/11/2020 17:56

It looks fine, depends if you'll feel self conscious in it and be able to relax though.

superram · 09/11/2020 17:59

You look fine, I’d freeze, so no thanks!

ThrawnCow · 09/11/2020 18:01

You'll catch your death in that!

Terralee · 09/11/2020 18:28

It looks fine

My sister is slim, 41 & wears crop tops usually with dungarees. I'm not jealous much...

TheMarzipanDildo · 09/11/2020 18:32

You look great

Daydreamsinglorioustechnicolor · 09/11/2020 18:34

You've got a lovely figure go for it. Obviously I need to say any woman with any figure can wear what she is comfortable wearing.

Coolhand2 · 09/11/2020 18:39

I would feel uncomfortable if I had a big tummy but you are flat, it looks great on you

PrimeraVez · 10/11/2020 04:17

I am only a year younger than you and I wear cropped tops a lot (I wear them with high waisted trousers/shorts/skirts as although my stomach is pretty flat, I have a lot of loose skin post-pregnancy)

rottiemum88 · 10/11/2020 04:30

Looks a bit tight. Apart from that, can't see the issue as long as you're happy in it

StarlightLady · 10/11/2020 05:11

I’m early 40s and I’d wear it without a shirt over, with, say, jeans.

Only to indoor things though, if we are allowed to go to any. I certainly wouldn’t wear it outside until the spring.

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 10/11/2020 05:47

Huh? You're only 35...

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 10/11/2020 05:48

...Why would you think you can't wear certain things at 35, you're still young!

Sleephead1 · 10/11/2020 06:23

Thank you everyone I love the cropped top and high waisted look on others so I think I am going to try it. I think it's more my stomach isnt really flat now. I used to wear things showing my stomach all the time but it does need some toning up. I'm going to be confident and try it out when its warmer

As long as white suits your colouring then wear it . You have a great figure for it .

yaboo · 11/11/2020 00:38

ooh, you'll get a chill in your kidneys...

am joking. Looks great on you.

bloggeryblog · 11/11/2020 00:44

I wouldn't have had to look at a photo to say yes..you can wear anything at any age if youre happy to but 35 being so young makes the question even more daft! You can wear anything at all, no question, at 35!

Sandytoes86 · 11/11/2020 04:35

I understand where you’re coming from, I’d say perhaps get one slightly bigger and you might find it sits more comfortably. I find that they look best when bottom is high waisted enough not to show skin unless I stretch up.

MoltonSilver · 11/11/2020 10:10

Nothing negative about you, you look great but the crop top belongs on a 15 year old.
