Khloe Kardashian's choices are under fire again, but this time it's got nothing to do with what she wears. Unfortunately, it's all about how TRUE looks in an outfit that Khloe chose to post on her IG mainfeed.
Even the littlest Kardashians are subjected to scrutiny from the family's massive fanbase (and the haters, obvs)- and KoKo's socials have upwards of 184 MILLION followers! Read on to learn exactly why a lot of them are mad.
Tutu True
In the photo posted today, three year old True smiles at the camera in a short purple tutu and matching purple crop top that shows most of her stomach. While it earned hundreds of loving comments, it also got side eye from those who weren't convinced Khloe dressed her daughter appropriately.
"Just curious is the shirt to small ? Or is it… cropped..?" asks one comment with dozens of likes.
Many seem concerned that crop tops aren't appropriate "for a toddler..." as one fan commented with blushing emojis. Some compared it to a bikini top, which they also considered way out of line for a little kid's wardrobe.
Crop Tops for Kids?
Some fans argued that True is 'growing up too fast' because of these clothes.
"She’s gorgeous. But i just don’t get why she just can’t wear a regular tank top?" reads one of the top comments on Khloe's latest post. "Why are parents dressing their daughters in crop tops now.. Let them be children."
Other fans replied with comments like "right? let kids be kids," "exactly," and "agree."
"Girl… She is still VERY young! Why dress a child in grown looking clothes? There’s nothing wrong with a regular tank top," commented one fan who said she's also a mother. "You need to stop trying to make kids grow up so damn fast, what’s the rush?"
Clothes Might NOT Be the Issue
If this whole topic makes you cringe, you're not alone. The idea of policing what girls wear (whether via gender-unequal school dress codes or gender-unequal red carpet coverage) has long been dragged for being sexist, restrictive, and just plain mean.
Many of Khloe's fans came to her defense today, shifting the conversation to why crop tops are criticized in the first place.
"Maybe u should stop sexualizing kids" argued one fan, with dozens of others agreeing in similar comments.
"My daughter loves to wear matching crop tops with me," explained another mom in Khloe's comments section.
"That’s what’s in fashion right now," pointed out another. "What does what she’s wearing have to do with being a kid or not?"
It's true (no pun intended) that this style of shirt is basically everywhere at the moment, and who's more on-trend than a Kardashian?
"Let her feel cool with a crop top," another commenter told Khloe. "U love ur kid so let’s all hope she will feel beautiful forever."
