These are the tops that everyone is wearing on Instagram right now

Despite the shorter days and cooler nights, one fashion trend continues to endure even in chilly winter: chic cropped tops. Whether they're sneak-peek appearances underneath season-appropes chunky knit cardigans or you're throwing one on with the knowledge that yep, it's another day where you're not leaving the house anyway, these top trends are dominating wardrobes and Instagram feeds right now. The beauty of these tops is the variety of them: whether you're going for the '90s inspired ribbed top, a cropped knit cardigan or feminine tie-front blouses there are near-infinite colours and sleeve lengths to choose from.

Paired with jeans, you're good for casual socially-distanced catch-ups, or wear 'em with a pair of trousers or a midi skirt for a slightly more "put together" vibe. You know, the kinda thing you'd wear to a ~nice~ dinner with the extended fam. Honestly, if it's just a face-time or a morning dash to get a coffee, there's no shame in chucking these on with your fav loungewear set bottoms and calling it a day.

Below we've rounded up a few of the top trends we're seeing everywhere, think of 'em as members of the same diverse crop top community.

The Puff Sleeve Top

Yes, the puff sleeve trend is still going strong after being a firm fashion-fave for a couple of seasons now. Whether you're going for a floral cropped version or a slightly cosier knit cardi option, it's a cute fun detail that can liven up an otherwise simple outfit.

Perhaps the most popular lil top style of all is the button-up cardigan top. Whether you go down the ribbed pastel route or classic neutrals this versatile piece can work as a light layer over your crop tops or camis or as a bonafide top all on its own. The key for effortless vibes is leaving a careful amount of buttons undone. Or look for ones with pearl buttons for a slightly fancier vibe.

The Tie Front Top

Baby it's cold outside

A close cousin to the button-down top is the tie front top. This one looks extremely cute in cardigan format, somehow doing double duty cover your arms (for warmth) and exposing a bit of midriff (for fun, you know).

This is not your dad's polo shirt! Though there's a place for the traditional collegiate-inspired polo, the new polo of the moment is a tighter fitting, more girly take on the top. A polo shirt that's probably not ideal for playing rugby in, but is extremely cute.
