  [quote]I dug up a couple of old pics of me in a crop top. My best guess is that they were probably from the early 90's since they were taken by a digital camera.As far as making a comeback, I have seen football players starting to wear them in practice I had no idea about football players in practice. So, slow come back. Good looking at that time...[/quote] When crop tops were more common, football players were noted for wearing them.

  When I went to the gym, it was not uncommon to see women working out in halter tops or sports bras.
  I was tempted to take an old tank top or sleeveless undershirt, cut the bottom half or so off and wear it to the gym, but I never did.

  [quote]What are your thoughts on crop top for men ? ... What are your thoughts ?[/quote] Of course each to his own taste ... but I wonder why men should bother with such fashion gaffes as long as they might just go bare-chested anyway?

  So - why is it only young, slim ladies who can show their navel? What about old, fat men like me?

  There is nothing stopping you

  Also according to some youll get complement from women and jealous looks from other men who wish they were brave enough. No idea why or how this would happen, but the testimonials are on this tread.

  I am a great believer that people should wear what the feel good in. Too many just follow fashion and are critical of those who don't. It's crazy that short shorts were OK in the 70s, but then so much frowned upon for men in recent times. Personally I wear shorts and tops that are sold as being for women, that way I can have them as short as I want. Not everyone looks good in everything, but should be allowed to wear it if they want. I try to wear what looks good on my body, and then just "own it".

  [quote]Seeing speedos are becoming popular on the beaches.[/quote] As I hate wearing swim shorts, I'm glad it's coming back. I do not have access to clothing optional beach. So this is great. Now in hotels when I travel for work, if not with coworkers, going with a thong. Maybe that will become also more conventional in the future.

  [quote]I currently wear the Sofie shorts around the yard when working out where I can be seen from the road. They are just a little longer than the extremely short competitive shorts for long distance runners. That said, my favorite pair of gym shorts was a cotton pair from the 70s that were just a touch longer than the Sofies I have now but they fit me perfect. I have never seen another pair or I would own several. Maybe those too will make a comeback . . . but somehow I doubt it. And, Ive never worn that crop top, not my style.No idea what these Sofie shorts looks like.For the crop tops, I am born too late to have known it. But today, I may not be against it. Men's Soffe shorts. https://www.soffe.com/product/M020/soffe-original-ranger-panty.html[/quote] Awesome, Thanks. These could be great for the gym. And pretty cheap... Thanks for the link

  Places that requires a t-shirt, or evenings when the temperature decreases a little. Many different reasons. Not everyone can have the luxury to be in the buff all day long.... I would not call that fashion gaffes. I rather say thank to bring back something that was not an issue in the past to be accepted again.

Probably not in my town, but on vacation, like Florida, why not.....

When going to the grocery store, or lunch with coworkers or friends, it's a 5in inseam short. But alone, going to the gas station, washing the car, it's the 2 inch. And on vacation, 2 inch exclusively. I do have one even shorter that is tight around the legs, so nothing is falling off. Maybe time to pair a crop top for vacation. Sad we don't find for men much, would have loved the 70's and 80's.... Though, the long socks, not for me. The shortest the better. Can't support long ones anymore. Thanks for sharing

  I've been wearing cutoff jeans for more than 50 years with no cares about what someone else might think. My legs rub when I walk, and I wear the jeans out just below the crotch. That's the cut off point.
  I have longer shorts for most occasions. They are comfortably light weight, and the length doesn't bother me, but buying clothes is an unwanted task. The stores have only what is fashionable today, and I will not buy clothes without trying them on. Therefore, buying online is a very seldom used option. Nothing has ever fit right and returning is just more inconvenient, especially when the nearest UPS store is 100 miles away.
  Tee shirts are my first choice, and I can't see cutting them up to have less shirt on. It is all shirt or no shirt with me.

  I wear them on hot days in places that require a shirt.
  When I went to a gym, I wore them there all the time.
  Now that I exercise at home, I never wear a shirt and rarely wear anything.

This is awesome you can workout at home wearing nothing... I tried once a gym naked was awesome.

Strange thing is that while almost everyone was nude in the pool and hot tub and on the deck, almost everyone in the gym was wearing shorts. I would think that more men would exercise nude when they could.

  Some men are more hygienically aware so wont put bare arses on the equipment.

Even though it's mostly for gays, as a straight guy, I still enjoyed time in the nude. Though, it was an experience. Not sure I'll go again. Bath area was not that great. Just ok, and very small. I was expecting more.

I avoided the sauna and steam room because I heard that there was a lot of sexual activities there. Hot tub was outside and large.

Lauderdale one time. I usually go to mid-beach Miami, and end up at Haulover during the day. But a trip to the club in the night could be something one time.
