Talk:Crop top

message: FYI "crop tops" have been in vogue since who knows when, but I recall women wearing them c1983.  No doubt they were in fashion before them.  132.181.7.1 06:41, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

text: My wife has hanging on her office wall a croptop that she purchased from her high schools store in 1987 that just barely covers the bottom of the breasts; I remember clearly, and fondly, this being a very common summer style for females from about 1985 to 1989. The article doesn't seem to quite address this, and makes it out to be almost purely a male thing. i guess I should take a picture of the shirt and put it in the commons. I also need to re-watch the weird science movie again.Paganize 11:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: How would I go about introducing the association between wearing belly shirts among men with homosexual stereotyping? I've observed that in media. Tyciol 01:47, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know how to do this. I don't think any official research has been done. I guess men are REALLY afraid to talk about it?! What I have observed: Half Shirts, or even belly button exposure of any kind, is "Wrong". Obviously everybody thinks (or is supposed to think) "belly button = homosexual." -_- Meanwhile, homosexuals do not appear to ever focus on navel. They probably avoid the subject even more. So this is a horrible stereotype. In Correct (talk) 11:07, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: So far I did not add any mention of homosexual stigma, but I did include a quick mention about Peer Pressure. Indeed, other men bully any guy whether he is in a half shirt or even no shirt. And these same type of bullies will probably erase all information that I just posted.

thread_title: Homosexual stigma?

message: I am the author of the article. Please feel free to update it with anything useful, but tangential additions like tri-shirts (triathletes have special half shirts???) are not pertinent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.46.221.128 (talk) 21:39, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just saw your comment here. I'll paste here my edit summary, because I feel it probably still applies (then again maybe not now that I've seen the talk page): "Even if you are the "original author" that doesn't mean you own the article, perhaps read WP:OWN? Hope it helps, if I'm wrong here in my assumption let me know". You appear to have a lack of any knowledge about triathlons? I'm something of the opposite.... I do Ironman every year along with many other triathlons. Been doing this since before I was a teenager, I've got many of these types of tops myself. Mathmo Talk 13:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't think your behaviour is really that appropriate seeing as the article is pure original research since it hasn't been referenced. Yes, Mathmo added something which was not sourced so there was no way to tell if it was appropriate or not. But the whole article relies on one very poor source. --TrollHistorian 21:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: This article is terrible

message: This style of men's shirts was popular in the seventies (from first-hand experience). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.179.5.126 (talk) 19:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I found a source confirming it was worn during the 1970s! In Correct (talk) 11:48, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: 1980s?

message: I find the start of the article to be unclear: "Crop tops .. are T-shirts or blouses that are cut off, resulting in the exposure of some of the wearer's abdomen. The halfshirt (or bellyshirt) is a variety of shirt that is cut off from the bottom of the chest." 
What is the difference between crop tops and halfshirts? Do halfshirts NOT show off some of the wearer's abdomen? Are halfshirts/bellyshirts cut off at half-way between shoulders and waist and thus show off someone's entire abdomen? --EarthFurst (talk) 02:21, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Question 

message: "A cold, braless model wearing crop top" Why are the words "cold" and "braless" included? This seems unnecessary and irrelevant, and it draws attention away from the garment and to the fact that the model's nipples are visible through it. Was this wording chosen for some good purpose? If so, someone can revert the caption to what it is at the time of my writing. If not, I'm going change it to the more neutral and appropriate (for the content of the article) "A model wearing a crop top".

thread_title:  Section Types: One Missing 

message: This section seems wholly unnecessary. Modesty in regards to crop tops is not a significant aspect of the clothing itself outside of modesty being the general purpose of all clothing. I feel like it either needs to be rewritten or deleted. I am in full favour if it being deleted outright. It's not important to understanding the clothing. Fohnicus (talk) 20:30, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: "Something similar" would be a sleeveless athletic shirt but an actual half shirt that expose navel by men have not been accepted after the 1980s. I will be adding Ezekiel Elliott who is a very recent occurrence of a complete male half shirt (which has been banned yet again). In Correct (talk) 10:59, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
