The father’s simple shopping trip with his daughter turned into a viral fashion consultation after the toddler became a firm judge of modern fashion.

The hilarious video, shared on TikTok by @la_dolce6, captured the attention of social media users who were on the toddler’s side and noted how she knew what she wanted.

The video opens with the father and his daughter, Sphesihle, inside a clothing store. The father holds up a few tops, attempting to get his toddler's approval, but she immediately rejects them. Her reason was that they were not crop tops. The father, TikTok user @la_dolce6, clearly amused but confused, brought the garments closer, assuring her he was indeed holding three crop tops.

Father and daughter start a crop top debate

The toddler, however, remained resolute. She respectfully stated that the tops were too long to qualify as crop tops, and reinforced her seriousness by folding her hands. The father asked her to provide a clear definition of the item. Sphesihle happily demonstrated the correct length of a crop top with her hands. When he asked if they should leave the three tops and continue their search, she readily agreed, turning the routine shopping trip into a delightful fashion debate led by the four-year-old.
