It’s swimsuit season, and stores everywhere are stocking up on bikinis in anticipation of summer.
Abercrombie wants to make sure you’re looking your best and that your cleavage is fantastic — even if you’re only 8 years old!
That’s right. Abercrombie Kids is offering padded bikini tops in a line aimed at kids ages 8 to 14. The brand's spring kids' line includes the “Ashley Push Up Triangle” style, replete with padding to enhance preteen busts.
Naturally, Abercrombie is facing backlash for the swimsuits, which have been accused of contributing to the sexualization of children.
Readers, do you think it’s ever appropriate for an 8 year old to wear a bikini, much less one with a padded top? Are you as disturbed as I am by this trend? Share your thoughts in the comments.
