    Is it weird to wear a bra under a crop top?

    Not at all! For crop tops with sleeves, your bra will hardly be noticeable. For spaghetti strap or strapless tops, you have some options. A strapless bra would work, or you could wear a bralette with lacy straps and let it show.

  • Question
    My mom doesn't let me wear a crop top without a tank top. Is that the right way?
    Community Answer
    It depends on your age. Most of my friends wear tank tops with crop tops, so it's perfectly fine to do so. Try to choose a crop top with more length so the tank is not as obvious, and ask your mom to reconsider when you're a little older.

    Wear one around the house at first. That will help you get used to the feeling. Then wear it on a short trip into town, to the grocery store or wherever. When that goes well, you should see there's nothing to worry about and you can start wearing whenever/wherever you want.

    What age should you start wearing a crop top?

    Since crop tops are a bit revealing, they're usually not appropriate for girls younger than teenagers. If a younger girl wants to wear a crop top, though, try layering one over a regular shirt. It'll make her feel stylish without being overly revealing.

    Sometimes wearing layers can help with situation like that. A cute zip up sweater or a hoodie can cover a tight crop top. if it's a cropped sweatshirt, try wearing high riding pants to make your top look longer than it is. But also be aware that your mom is trying to protect you from being leered at.

    Wear a coat or hoodie unzipped for a casual but cool look. Or, you can try wearing a scarf that matches the style of the top over your shoulders for a more retro look. Try things on - look in the mirror, add some jewelry - see what works for you!
  • Question
    I dress modestly, but love trends. You mentioned wearing a shirt underneath. Do I tuck the undershirt in or leave it out? What kind of shirt?... T, tank, button down, blouse?
    Chlo354
    Community Answer
    If you want to dress modestly but want to wear one still, then you can leave it out or tuck it in, whichever is comfortable for you. Otherwise, go with a longer crop and high-waisted jeans and shorts, depending on the crop you plan to wear. It also depends on the top; if you have a V-neck crop, then wear a V-neck T-shirt and it will keep the balance without looking weird.
