My kid can wear what she wants, but if she wears a crop top, she has to wear it with something high waisted. She's good with that rule.


There are conditions on her wearing crop tops so that her outfit is tasteful. They were meant to be worn with high waisted pants or shorts. This is the most sensible way to go.

Because it gets male attention and they like receiving male attention.

It’s not that you can’t ever dress to express your sexuality, it’s that school is a workplace and you have to signal respect for yourself, your peers and your teachers with your clothing. That means limiting sexuality and also politics, being clean/mended, etc. It’s a tricky thing to parse out and there are good arguments so I would welcome debate about it with my kid but ultimately I draw the line.

I’m fine with crop tops on the weekend for hanging out with friends or going to dinner or whatever.

Most girls and women do not wear them well. At all. Too much muffin top, etc.

Eh, not sure being overweight stops anyone from wearing these outfits.

The question I always ask is why anyone ever thought the ladies volleyball shorts were appropriate.

The problem is that athelesiure is the style of choice for kids now and makes can wear it all for school, sport, hanging out, and yet again we are policing this for females. I’m not saying we shouldn’t but this is what is causing the problem. We’re still trying to dress code girls.


I’m all in favor of dress-coding everyone. No crop tops or butts/underwear hanging out for girls and boys.


Ok grandma - calm down.


Is being called a grandmother supposed to be an insult?

Nobody wants to see boys going to school with only a tank top on with skin tight sweatpants that shows the outline of their dick.

Those boomers and Gen X were the worst offenders of letting everything show. Halter tops with the lowest cut Jeans. Denim shorts cut as short as possible, dresses with no bras or underwear. I like the store Free People probably created by old hippies but there’s a way to put together outfits from there that don’t look cheap. If the clothes teens wear show a bare back, bare stomach, and bare legs up to the crotch it’s not a good look. Balance is the key.



Minding your own business and not judging others for their clothes is key.

It’s not 1965 sweetie

I’ve not seen one mom in a sports bra walking around anywhere that’s not a gym. do you live in a gym?


No I live in Bethesda and it’s all I see. Where do you live?


McLean. No mom sport bra sightings here as we walk daily life.


Bethesda Row 9am to 3pm it's all the rich moms are wearing lulu head to toe


Athleisure is not the same as moms running around in sports bras, which is what you said.


Lulu sports bras are athleisure? 😂

So none of you wore braless tube tops, Daisy dukes, leather minis, tight hipster jeans with sweater crops, candies, etc…

The girls today hardly wear anything fun. Sloppy pajamas pants, big hoodies, some crop tops, baggy sweatpants or cargos, big tees. They look like homeless kids.

Girls - wear what you want and be confident in whatever you want. Fashion is fun and parents that try and diminish it and victimize you have their own deep-rooted issues.

And if your mom doesn't approve or wants you to wear turtlenecks just do what the others do. Borrow clothes and change in school, mall, etc...



If you don't want to...
seen first as a sexual object
judged for you looks
body-shamed
etc etc.

Then don't wear clothes that are aim to be provocative and suggestive.

If you are truly confident, you can wear clothes that are fun and look smashing without making yourself look cheap, cheesy, and in need of attention.
