You girls are very conservative when it comes to fashion. I'm in my 50's, slim, and I wear crop tops from time to time (for casual wear) and bikinis in the summer. But I'm not one for rules, fashion or otherwise. Cool

Here's a good example of crop top tastefully done vs. cleavage, which is more common but often looks like desperation-sexy. The top look is much more demure.


ITA with the top two looks. She looks classy and elegant! I love her turquoise cross cuff.

I find the ubiquitous display of unattractive cleavage to be more offensive that a sliver of tummy. Especially Lisa Rinna. Perfect example of someone getting 400cc implants on an anorexic body. She needs a revision.

I haven't shown tummy since I was in high school. And I might add I have nice cleveage but I don't stick it in everyone's face with them hanging out.

The rules are different here in Florida. I would say that even if your stomach looks great and its 90 F, if your stomach looks out of place with the age the rest of you looks.

My friend looks almost exactly like the tastefully done model in black and white. She lives by the beach and you would think she is decades younger than she is. She could wear the black and white outfit and look elegant, not silly. She happens to be exceptionally beautiful and young looking, w/o surgery. She's is 58 and she could wear the black and white outfit with silver pumps in a minute.

Re: at what age should you stop showing tummy in your fashion?

I have seen some very young women - teens, etc., who insist on showing their stomach and they have no business doing so!!! Yuck. Cover up, people. AND --- just because you are young does not mean you have the body for certain things. Sadly, common sense is lacking when it comes to making fashion choices. I'd like to give an age limit but I can't. There are people who are in their 30's, 40's, etc, who have very nice flat stomachs and people who are 13 who have very bad looking stomachs, so, as I said --- really, it should be a common sense thing -- and as I think about it, I feel it should be left to the very young.

Not a fan.

I'm not a fan of tummy or cleavage...doesn't matter how great either one is...I'm old-fashioned that way and I own it.

Re: at what age should you stop showing tummy in your fashion?

I'm usually the FIRST person to say that age doesn't matter and wear what you want. In this case, however, I have to say BEACH and GYM only. If you are over 21, give it a rest. I think it is a totally tacky look--the SCANDAL lady usually dresses SO beautifully, but that belly baring outfit she wore was NOT good. I'm WELL over 40 and have a completely flat stomach (genetics, workouts and no babies), and I would NEVER bare my tummy in public except in the aforementioned places.
