One TikTok mom has discovered the perfection fashion find to help us all survive the cropped-top trend with our love for leggings intact.
You'll try any fashion trend once... maybe even twice. You can even get on board with occasionally wearing the oh-so-impracticaland agreed to show an inch of upper abdomen on hot days in the summer. However, that's just not always practical in the fall or winter. So, how do youextend your leggings and a top wardrobe into the cooler months when every new sweater you try on seems to stop just below the band of your bra? One TikTok mom found the perfect solution: the "half-shirt.
Enter the half-shirt. This little wardrobe genius basically looks like the bottom half of a button-down shirt and comes with an elastic waistband. You wear it around your waist or at your bra band, and it hangs below your sweater to extend the length. Honestly, if you can find it thick enough, it could potentially even work as a cute mini skirt!
If the concept seems familiar, it's because it's sort of a "reverse dickey." Remember those? Your grandmother probably had dickeys that looked like turtlenecks or the collars of button-down shirts. She wore them under any shirt or dress deemed "too low." The necks were usually attached to a flap that hung down to about the top of her bra. It helped keep her neck warm or give her a sense of modesty.
Of course, this isn't the first time we millennials have turned to a solution for extending the length of our shirts. Remember when we all wore lace-trimmed camisoles under our shirts? They extended the length and, if you were lucky, let a little bit of lace pop out of the top of low-cut shirts, too. It was cute. Maybe even sexy?! Alas, it was hot AF to walk around in the middle of summer with a cami on under a shirt. They both ended up needing to be washed, thereby doubling laundry duty.
Unless you're clumsy, this TikTok-approved half-shirt could easily be worn a few times before each wash. And, you know, button-downs make everything seem dressier, right?at least sometimes? — but until the cropped-everything trend passes, these Amazon half shirts will save you a lot of tugging and pulling. That way, when you buy a cute cropped sweater, at least it won't end up stretched out of shape.
