Wearing off-the-shoulder tops and dresses isn’t the only way to show some skin. You can also beat the heat (especially in a country like Singapore) with midriff-baring crop tops and short shirts. This ‘90s staple silhouette is not only designed for teens, young adults and those blessed with taut abs; women over 30 can also style this wardrobe must-have for work, casual days out and dinner dates.

Here are some stores in Singapore, including local fashion labels, that offer a wide range of affordable crop tops in all kinds of styles.
