Despite all the speculation that crop tops had no staying power; that they were a flash in the pan one-season trend, they are just as popular this year as they were last summer.  And if the Fall/Winter 2015 shows are any indication, they are not going away anytime soon.  I for one love the trend, and herald this as great news.

Unfortunately, some seem to only agree if the wearer is very thin.  Stylist Adam Glassman, Creative Director of Oprah’s O Magazine, said that you can wear a crop top “if (and only if!) you have a flat stomach.”  In response, I posted the above picture on Instagram yesterday with the caption:

If the question is “Can I pull off a crop top?” then the answer is YES. Flat stomach, fat stomach, whatever – anyone (and any body) can wear this style. I’m really disappointed in @oprahmagazine for keeping these outmoded “fashion rules” rooted in body shaming alive. Everyone can pull off a crop top of they want to. Join me in tagging your crop top pics #pullingoffacroptop to show that fashion is not limited by size or body type.

The response was amazing!  As of this morning, there are almost 800 posts tagged with #pullingoffacroptop, which is awesome considering the tag didn’t exist 24 hours ago!

These are just a few of the first babes who posted.  Looking through the tag (and the others like #rockthecrop and #ifandonlyifIwantto) is SO inspiring.  I love seeing confident babes joining together to protest archaic “fashion rules.” IG reader @sarahmick summed it up perfectly with this pic:
