Gen Z model and social media influencer Sarah Coome has sparked a debate after declaring that crop tops are no longer fashionable. Coome, who has over 218,000 followers, says the trend is being replaced by a more sophisticated 'old money' aesthetic.
In a video, Coome explained that the 'old money' look, inspired by preppy Ralph Lauren shirts, cashmere jumpers, and tennis skirts, is taking over. 'Crop tops don't really fit into that category,' she said, adding that tops ending at the hip line are now more in fashion.
Many viewers agreed, with some expressing frustration at the prevalence of crop tops. 'I'm so over everything being a crop top!' one user commented. Another said, 'I can't ever find a shirt that's NOT a crop top.'
However, Millennials pushed back, vowing to continue wearing crop tops. 'I don't like old money style. I love crop tops they make me feel so confident and hot,' one user wrote. Another added, 'As a short torso girl, I will not stop wearing crop tops lol.'
This is not the first Gen Z trend to challenge Millennial fashion. Skinny jeans, long cardigans, and high-waist items have already been declared out of style by the younger generation.
