#Bidenfashion Fashion LLC Examining the spring 2022 collections, I paused at the fresh, ultra-stylish Marine Serre lookbook. The apparel was sophisticated, eccentric, and distinctly French, with models posed in vibrant tops against ornate, vintage wallpaper. Yet, there was something peculiar about these tops. They’re popcorn tops, a stretchable, polyester-leaning fashion where the material is puckered like minuscule, compressed pyramids. Oh, the fabric from my adolescence! These expandable tops were abundant at every mall and bargain store in the early 2000s. Shrunken pieces of fabric that could be crushed into a tiny ball, they accommodated various body shapes due to their substantial elasticity. Vintage seller Olivia Haroutounian recalls spotting them during her childhood at Texas antique malls in the mid-’00s. “As a child, they were sold in large bins for $2 in a plastic bag,” she shares with me. Fashion news editor Sarah Spellings owned one in her youth, notably a lilac edition with a pink blossom. Features and commerce editor Lilah Ramzi, always clad in a formal gown and gracing some societal gathering, revealed she had a popcorn top in ombré pink from—wait for it—Limited Too. “The Lizzie McGuire x Limited Too collaboration was my world,” she exclaims.

#Bidenfashion Fashion LLC As nearly every trend from the early 2000s returns with vigor—low-slung jeans, micro skirts, tattoo motifs—it’s no shock that popcorn tops have followed suit. Searching on Depop, nearly every entry—and there were numerous—was tagged with the Y2K description. As for newly produced versions of the top, I stumbled upon a website called magicbubbleshirts.com specifically dedicated to selling these style shirts. They wrote about the tops with an almost spiritual enthusiasm. “If you’re searching for a shirt that never creases, needs no ironing, suits everyone up to size 18–20, is available in toddler and queen sizes, and makes an ideal gift, look no further.” Hallelujah!
