[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You wear a crop top with high waisted pants and have barely any skin show. Or the same top with low rise pants/skirt and it looks trashy.

[b]Mostly, it's the girls not knowing how to wear the fashion.[/b]

Overall though, if you don't let it in the house, less chance a crop will be worn. Not perfect. Generations have changed at school or removed something to look different at school, without parent knowledge.[/quote]

This is true.  But I think some of the 12 year olds want to show off especially to the boys.

My daughter still thinks boys are disgusting idiots as an 8th grader. But she loves to look like every other girl that is hearing Lulu, Alo, FP movement, hollister and aerie. While I know she and her friends “theoretically” like boys, they seem to be dressing for each other and not to get boys attention.

You are correct that some girls want to show off for boys. But I don’t think that is the case for any 12 year old girl in a crop top and 2.5 inch lulu shorts. And I say this as a woman who was boy crazy at age 12. My daughter and many of her friends don’t seem to have the same agenda about boys as myself and my friends in the 1980s when Daisy Dukes, a crop top and wearing a high pony with a swatch around it was all the rage.[/quote]

Totally! Even my 14 year old is still dressing for her friends rather than boys. I was boy crazy starting at 10! It’s really different now.
My girls both wear crop tops- but neither is showing more than a cm of skin. I think people who are very upset over them must be thinking of the very short ones? Idk- the ones that basically touch the top of their pants seem fine to me[/quote]
