According to a recent issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, crop tops are not for every body. The popular mag's answer to the question "Can I pull off a crop top?" was shocking: "If (and only if!) you have a flat stomach, feel free to try one." Once this bogus advice was published, Instagram erupted with proud women of all shapes and sizes rocking their favorite crop top. After checking out these beautiful women who #rockthecrop, you'll be inspired to pull one on this weekend.
