JANET | Halter crop top with harem pants

The pants are so full that the short top stops being a short top. It works as one piece.

A crop top is not a phrase most of us expect to read at this age, and on its own it would be the wrong advice. What changes it completely is what goes underneath: harem pants cut so high and so full that the two garments overlap into a single shape, and nothing is on show at all.

The halter top fastens at the neck and follows the body closely, giving the set a defined upper half, and the harem pants below are gathered loose through the hip and thigh and drawn in lower down. The result is a narrow top and a very full bottom, which is one of the most reliably flattering proportions there is, and it moves beautifully in a warm evening breeze.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• The proportion does the work. A close top over very full pants is an old and reliable shape, and it flatters almost everyone.
• Nothing is actually exposed. The pants sit high enough that the two pieces meet, so the crop is a cut rather than a gap.
• Harem pants hide the leg entirely. Gathered through the hip and thigh, drawn in below, so no outline shows anywhere.
• Four colors for warm evenings. Beige, gray blue, navy and retro red.

How it fits

Sizes S through 2XL. The top is the fitted half and the pants are generous, so size on the bust. If you are between two sizes take the larger, which also brings the top and the waistband closer together.

A few recent reviews

I am 64 and would not have believed it until I put it on. There is no gap.

Wore it to a market and then to dinner. It moved wonderfully.

The retro red is a soft brick red rather than a bright one.
