Sophie Allen, a fitness influencer and a certified personal trainer from Sydney, shared her video on TikTok, showing her grocery shopping at Woolies in her workout clothes.
“The hate you get being a female wearing a crop top in the supermarket just hits different,” she wrote, expressing that women still have to endure judgment from people because of their clothing choices.
In the clip, Sophie can be seen wearing a tight-fitting black sports top paired with purple workout leggings. She said she regularly gets ‘disapproving’ looks from fellow shoppers by merely walking down the grocery aisles.
“It happens anytime I go into a supermarket after a training session in my crop top. It’s so disappointing that in 2022 women are still being judged for their choice in clothing,” said the 31-year-old gym goer.
“It feels frustrating that we’re still expected to look, behave and present ourselves in a certain way to be deemed ‘acceptable’ by society.”
The TikTok video, now with over 1.8M views on the platform, sparked a heated debate among its viewers, arguing whether Sophie was in the wrong or not.
“Just throw on a damn shirt when going in public. The gym is one place, but going into a grocery store like that is another,” one person wrote.
Another person who is against the idea of wearing something so revealing in public said: “It’s like wearing a bathing suit to the movies. The outfit just doesn’t match the location.”
A third person agreed, saying, “It might be because you’re treating a public space like a private space. Have respect for other people when you’re out. It’s not all about you.”
Others also pointed out the difference between a ‘crop top’ and a ‘sports bra’, and Sophie might have been mistaking which is which.
However, many other TikTok users, mostly women, defended Sophie from the backlash.
“If wearing a sports bra makes someone uncomfortable, they are the problem,” wrote one person. Another chimed in and said, “She’s just hot – that’s why you have a problem.”
One woman commented and shared her similar experience, saying: “Omg YES! I feel so uncomfortable, but at the same time, what can I do? If I have to do groceries after the gym, I won’t change just for it.”
Sophie also responded to another woman’s comment and said, “If a man did this, it would be fine.”
