I am talking about those being worn by young girls or women that expose their body between the waist and above the navel.
They call them tops here on Spain.

Thanks.

midriff tops, I think. the last time they were popular it was "crop tops".

I often hear the term 'belly top'.

More importantly, should students be allowed to come to class wearing them? :wink:

"Crop top" is by far what I hear the most.

They are very popular, at least in Europe.
