I dug up a couple of old pics of me in a crop top. My best guess is that they were probably from the early 90's since they were taken by a digital camera.
As far as making a comeback, I have seen football players starting to wear them in practice
I think it's not only a style but also a body type issue. I'm tall and lanky and anything short and wide looks goofy on me. Even a speedo looks silly how it's cut so I wear the equivalent with a 2" inseam. For shorts I like them long and relatively snug to almost the knee, otherwise I'm all leg. Best is nothing of course.
Growing up, I remembered these "shorts" that were bellow going bellow the knees. I'm wondering today how I was able to wear those.
In our neighborhood, they were called pedal pushers for girls and clam diggers for boys. At out catholic school picnics, they were required if we wanted something other than full length. Apparently, knees were something that should not be seen.
I don't remember seeing crop tops but can see it as a means to get past the requirement to be wearing a shirt in a retail establishment. It's kind of the men's answer to halter tops for women.
Would I wear one? Not with my hairy belly sticking out from under it.

So you have been keeping your clothing to a minimum for 30 years?
I currently wear the Sofie shorts around the yard when working out where I can be seen from the road. They are just a little longer than the extremely short competitive shorts for long distance runners. That said, my favorite pair of gym shorts was a cotton pair from the 70s that were just a touch longer than the Sofies I have now but they fit me perfect. I have never seen another pair or I would own several. Maybe those too will make a comeback . . . but somehow I doubt it. And, Ive never worn that crop top, not my style.

Do you wear them without underwear?

I had no idea about football players in practice. So, slow come back.
Good looking at that time...

For some reason, it was the fashion. Today, for swimsuit, I want to wear the more minimalistic I can when needed. Of course no thong when in business trio with coworkers. But when I was younger, I think the surfer guys, with long shorts and nice abdominal lines tend to shift from speedo to swim shorts. Then these weird pants came up. Funny thing I still have one in my drawer. I know I will never ever wear it again. Need to cut it or throw it away.
Had no idea about the catholic school picnics. Interesting fact.
About pieces of skin not to be seen, this is strange thing.
