9 Plus Size Crop Tops That Are Cute, Sexy, And Size Inclusive So You Can Show Off Your Tummy Pride
If you're a plus-size woman who has ever searched for the perfect crop top, you know that satisfying and stylish plus size crop tops are few and far between. You're usually either stuck trying to squeeze into a size L from the straight-size department, or having to DIY your own shirt from something that's actually been made for your body size. Basically, there just aren't a lot of crop tops in sizes 12 and over out there.
This is unfortunate, but "fat girls can't wear crop tops" is luckily becoming less of a universal "rule" as time goes on. In fact, it's beginning to become socially acceptable for fuller-figured women to show their skin and fashion houses are finally catching on, too. After all, the double standards of dressing that anyone who isn't thin has to face are not fun for anyone.
In that spirit, let's continue to take down fatphobia and wear some fabulous crop tops this summer — that put our stomachs proudly on display. These nine options will not only please your eye for style, they'll also make your wallet happy, as they are all priced under $35.
