Like it or not, the midriff is officially the accessory of the season with crop tops coming in hot. We've got crystal bras that look amazing (if a little uncomfortable). We've got '90s-inspired halter necks in acid-bright patterns. We've got silky scarf 'tops'. And lastly, we've got the baby tee.

Fuelled by our obsession with nostalgia, it seems our passion for tiny tees has been building for decades. These slightly cropped tees lean perfectly into the '00s aesthetic that appears time and time again across TikTok and Instagram. Not to mention alongside other Y2K trends as seen in recent years like the huge influx of new butterfly heels and ultra mini skirts. It seems nostalgia is here to stay, after all.

Often, a slightly witty (or scathing) slogan is worn proudly, a nod back to Britney Spears' infamous 'dump him' tee or Paris Hilton's endless graphic t-shirts worn across the early 2000s. Now, we see it amongst the A-listers like models Hailey Bieber and actress Sydney Sweeney paving the way for these crop tops to make their moment.

Loved by Gen Z, including Kaia Gerber, Hailey Bieber and Mia Regan, these itty bitty baby T-shirts are the perfect combo of kitsch and cool. Acclimatising to the idea of having a little more skin on show throughout the warmer months, it seems these tees are following on into autumn and winter, being the perfect simple staple. You only have to look to the effortless jeans-and-baby-tee-combo as seen on Kendall Jenner floating about running errands in New York to understand it's the new it girl go-to.
