New York Times has a new trend piece about why so many men are wearing crop tops. But let’s be honest: they’re really talking about the gays.The article, written by Emma Grillo, chronicles the crop top’s rise in popularity over the last couple of years, with the midriff-showing garment becoming ubiquitous in many urban circles.
The story is filled with photos of beautiful men wearing their favorite tops throughout New York City during the last weekend of June…which was also NYC Pride.Again, probably not a coincidence. “If I’m wearing one just to go out casually, the crop top will be mid- to long length,” said David Mendoza, a 29-year-old operations manager in New York.
Mendoza goes on to say he first noticed the trend when his favorite fitness influencers starting rocking the gender-fluid look.
Naturally, Gay Twitter™ has chimed in, declaring homosexual ownership of the crop-top. We want people to know we were wearing it first, like every cool fashion trend!Gays.
