To bare my midriff over 40?

Ordered a top online for a Xmas party next week and it is more cropped than it looked on the website. It skims my belly button but obviously a lot more skin shows if I raise my arms! I have a toned stomach and actually feel really good in it, but is this one of these trends that are absolutely out if bounds if you wore it the first time round?

YABU - nobody over 40 should be seen in a crop top.

YANBU - wear the top (and put that 90s navel piercing back in too!)

It depends... if you look like Heidi Klum then go for it 👍

Rubbish, I look like Diane Abbott and I’m going for it!!

Yes, of course you should. I’m 46 with two large fibroids so my stomach sticks out a bit, I have to keep my stomach covered now 😭

Don’t be moaning if you have younger guys hitting on you

Confused the replies on this are depressing!
You wear whatever you like and feel good in.
You have a toned midriff so you will carry it off and look fabulous

Unless you live in the American mid-west and are literally surrounded by overweight people, this is such an odd thing to say.
