[quote=Anonymous]I think there is a wide range of what constitutes a crop top. You can absolutely say “no” as the parent. If you want to show some flexibility, you can shop together and perhaps find something that you are ok with in certain situations. Whatever you decide is fine.

And in 7th grade, I agree with the poster who said some kids rule stuff out themselves. Go in the dressing room and have them raise their arms, bend over to pick something up, etc. if you do decide to shop with her.

But I see middle school girls in all kinds of shorts, crop tops, etc. There are some I’m fine with for my kid and some I’m not. What I let her wear to the beach over a bikini is different than what she can wear for school, etc. She is also fully aware of how to appropriately dress for a wedding, dinner with grandma, etc.

My 71 year old aunt likes to remind me that she wore tube tops back in the day and is a woman who went to law school and became a partner at a law firm. She was of the era where the firms wanted to freaking call her husband for permission before they would hire her. She is very well respected in her field and doesn’t wear tube tops anymore. :-)[/quote]
