Explain to her you don't want to wear crop tops to attract attention but you honestly think they are cute. And it's HOT out in the summer and they really feel nice. Maybe ask her if you can start off just wearing them at home or with your friends and not out in public.

Well first, ask yourself if you want to wear a crop top because you think they're cute, or if you want to show skin. If you honestly think they're cute and want to wear them, tell your parents that. Also, offer to compromise. Crop tops are super cute with high waisted shorts, so ask them if you can wear them without an undershirt and high waisted shorts.
