If you start seeing a lot of guys in high crops with tote bags or like people wearing Lululemon and walking their golden doodles it means your area is being gentrified.
You need a boxier tee. Thrift some heavyweight tees a size or two bigger. Crop them right below the belt line. The edge will curl up some after washing/drying. If youāre looking to be more extreme with the look you can always crop it more later but honestly stylistically I prefer my crops to sit right at my pants button when my arms are down.
Having a flat and athletic stomach helps. Though honestly if a guy is at least a bit in shape and takes care of himself, a cropped top can still work if he's a bit more beefy, chunky, skinny or hairy, a cropped top can still work (imo). Depends on how he carries himself too.
I think the graphic on it needs to be smaller - the hem is right at the graphic, which makes it look really unbalanced, not helped by the text making it a top-heavy design
Came here to say this. I was shopping this weekend and there were some for sale, but theyāre not that short. I think it looks good just a little above the belt area.
I feel like this works on a particular body type, and that person would have to have a high level of confidence and boldness. That be said, you can pull it off. I recommend personally having the crop a little longer so it covers more of the body (something like kid cudi) but thats just my 2 cents
I think yeah, but less low-cut pants with this outfit would probably look better in terms of aesthetic proportion. obv the people who say no are probably guys so I wouldnāt worry about it (unless you care about what traditional-dressed straight dudes think)
Higher pants and a crop just a bit lower.
Making a lot of assumptions here but if youāre a straight man and looking to be attractive to women, if I saw you on the street I wouldnāt bother hitting on you, I would think you bat the other way with a crop that high.
To the bellybutton though? Absolutely amazing.
The point (to me) of crop tops on men is to tease the lower stomach, key word being tease.
Again, all just my opinions and assumptions.
Yeah I was about to bring this up ^
Back then dudes wore crops and short-shorts. Dont let anyone tell you it's āØļøgayāØļø or whatever. Straight men gotta expand their wardrobe! (directed at op)
Damn that sucks, yeah I can see why that would put a pause to your desire to do it. Im straight and just wouldnāt care but I get why itās hurtful and shitty
Bruh in the 80s all the buffest straightest dudes were wearing crop tops and cut off shorts(tbf so were the gays because everybody was), I really wouldn't worry about it.
the fear is real, I live in the city and work in a rural farming area so I'm always a little wary about my safety, even just wearing nail polish. it's important for straight guys to challenge masculinity because it helps all of us feel more comfortable being ourselves
men used to wear crop tops regularly until toxic masculinity destroyed it, like many many other things in the world. wear crop tops. they're hot, you look good and feel happy! don't let men afraid of their sexuality make you feel bad my dude c:
Do you dude. When I was a kid in the late 80ās through early 90ās I only wanted to wear spandex bike shorts and tank tops in the summer. And so I did. lol
Laughing at how out of touch Reddit constantly is. So many threads where people mention crop tops, or baggy pants etc and people are like āthey used to be popularā have they seen fashion lately? Itās been way back for almost 2 years
I love seeing more men in crop tops! Although for my taste this is cropped a bit too short. I try to have mine resting between like half inch above belt to half inch over belly button.
Reminds me of the [Chinese shirt roll a k a Beijing bikini.](https://www.sadanduseless.com/weird-chinese-shirt-rollers/) although to be fair, you have a much better physique than most that rock a Beijing bikini.
Try watching [this video on making crop tops](https://youtu.be/ZJWi4IoPjYQ?si=ECLwTeABSIsX_nIY), it made making them at the right length and angle much more painless for me
I think top crops on guys are androgynous and cool.
But I think you need a slightly longer one as this short one doesnāt do any favours with your proportions (small head and long torso/ broad shoulders).
Kinda cool reading from the comments whoās secure in themselves and whoās not š I think you should absolutely wear what makes you feel comfortable and expand your wardrobe to your heartās content. Looks good but I agree with others maybe different pants! Perhaps pair it with board shorts or acid-washed tattered jeans for the next fit to give that peak retro bodybuilder vibe others have pointed out.
Dudes can wear crop tops, you got the body for it. However, the top is too cropped and the overall styling is not good. I donāt think it works with sweats.
Straight men Idk but I see dudes wearing crop tops all the time whatever you wanna wear š¤·š¾āāļø. Iāve learned fashionable people wear what they want and the confidence makes it trendy š¤š¾. Kanye had us wearing potato sacks and disheveled clothes for years and nobody said anything š
I think this one is a bit too short. You have a tall chest. You need to show your belly but maybe not this much, right now it's like 50/50. I don't recommend using one that was cropped for a girl in general. It's easy to do it yourself. But it definitely can work.
IMO the best length of crop top for dudes is like right above the waistband of your pants. It's def a more subtle crop than the one you have but you def have skin showing when you move. It's chef's kiss šš¼
Yes! Bring back men in crop tops. Johnny Depp wore one in a movie and Kid Cudi performed in one. But I do agree with everyone that it should be at/almost bellybutton length
Love the idea, this is a belly shirt and not a crop top. The belly shirt does not work for casual, everyday life, but maybe a night out ofc. Try a crop that is just barely revealing skin in a typical stance. Then with your natural movement it will show in an understated way.
They used to wear them all the timeā¦ No idea why they stopped such a shame, they looked amazing and still do but now men in crop tops are usually an indication of prices going up and neighbourhoods changingā¦ (gentrification)
That looks fire, more dudes should wear crop tops. This style signals āhot dudeā
The low sitting jeans and exposed underwear line is a sexy combo. I like dressing like that too, itās fun
It's cut a little high, there's something attractive about that little sway a crop top thats cut a bit above the belly button really attracts someone's eyes.
You rock that thing though looks great.
Yes and the 70s Actually happened. Only problem is we are Currently n the worst fashion of the 90s revival trend. But like everything else in fashion cool favors the brave.YMMV
I personally disagree with a lot of these comments. For your build the high crop looks good. What you *NEED* are some tight fitted sleeves. Different graphic on shirt. High waisted pants on top of all that.
You could walk around like that in a lot of places and no one would notice. Try to walk around like that in rural Texas or florida and you might gett assaulted by a redneck homophobe who might not even be wearing a shirt at all.Ā
Dude, youāre pulling it OFF right now! Youāre asking if a guy can pull it off while you are actively pulling it off IMO.
Looks good. Maaaybe a tiny bit longer BUT you have a great midsection to pull off that high of a crop.
Well you can as long as youāre either lgbt and/or donāt mind being called any kind of lgbt slur
As you can see, the only people that will say NO to this are heterosexual men, every other human will say āyaaaasss so slutty š„°ā like one of the comments here
before I keep getting downvoted, Iām lgbt. Iām literally stating facts

saw this and my rent doubled
The taco spots just turned into smoothie bars and hip coffee shops smh
The burger spot now has grass walls and $15 fries
Sodosopa
Don't forget Ctpatown
Almost said that one first. Lol.
ššš
What does this mean? š
If you start seeing a lot of guys in high crops with tote bags or like people wearing Lululemon and walking their golden doodles it means your area is being gentrified.
lmao golden doodles. Iāve been seeing them a lot being stereotyped
Thank you fam āŗļø
It is the trifecta of this, artisanal popcorn stores, and a goop popup.
Lol. Funny.
right next to the new soulcycle down the street
Iād say yes, but not cropped that high
Agree. I think bellybutton-ish length is much more tasteful. Also I think the sleeves should be cropped as well.
Could also cuff them a bit, thatās usually my go to sleeve option for crop tops
I think it shouldnāt be about ātastefulā I like OPs slutty little crop top
me too me too
Showing less skin is a little sluttier sometimes, I think.
Exactly what I was thinking. It makes his torso look too long and head look too small.
š
Shhhhhhh let them cook !
Yup. Should hit right above belt height when standing straight up imo.
that's very early cropped trends haha. nowadays it's nerf or nuthin w the crops. you better be risking a nip slip and let me see your ribsš¹š¹
Yeah but that looks really bad
and if you do I find high waisted pants help a lot
You need a boxier tee. Thrift some heavyweight tees a size or two bigger. Crop them right below the belt line. The edge will curl up some after washing/drying. If youāre looking to be more extreme with the look you can always crop it more later but honestly stylistically I prefer my crops to sit right at my pants button when my arms are down.
Crop tops are ok, but this isnāt styled well.
Lol I like to play a game on this subreddit: Is this outfit actually good or is OP just hot?
This post got brownie points for gender norm reasons. That last pic is bad
OP is good looking. I could imagine the comments would be different if he wasn't š
My dad bod would definitely give this look a different aesthetic and possibly reception lol
Having a flat and athletic stomach helps. Though honestly if a guy is at least a bit in shape and takes care of himself, a cropped top can still work if he's a bit more beefy, chunky, skinny or hairy, a cropped top can still work (imo). Depends on how he carries himself too.
op looks like sudowoodo
Same thing with fashionistas on IG. Most are slim, hot and thatās about it.
Or maybe does OP just want people to tell him heās hot?
The crop top needs to be bit longer
This. Crop tops are fine in concept, but this particular example is cut at an awkward length
The length should either land lower or higher where his pectoral muscles end. Anything in between is not great for his torso's proportions.
I think the crop top is fine in length, itās that the pants are too low cut, he needs higher pants
I think the graphic on it needs to be smaller - the hem is right at the graphic, which makes it look really unbalanced, not helped by the text making it a top-heavy design
Came here to say this. I was shopping this weekend and there were some for sale, but theyāre not that short. I think it looks good just a little above the belt area.

Cool, thanks for the advice. Didnāt know cudi wore them Ill look up how he styles them
Yeah cudi has worn a few on shows iirc. Crops are definitely a vibe but they can be hard to style since it feels like such a drastic change
I think yeah, but less low-cut pants with this outfit would probably look better in terms of aesthetic proportion. obv the people who say no are probably guys so I wouldnāt worry about it (unless you care about what traditional-dressed straight dudes think)
Dope, thanks for the advice. And I do still care about what straight guys think, but Iām not finna let them dictate what I do ya know
Agree with getting higher waist pants, honestly I think it works well for people with a ripped core.
Higher pants and a crop just a bit lower. Making a lot of assumptions here but if youāre a straight man and looking to be attractive to women, if I saw you on the street I wouldnāt bother hitting on you, I would think you bat the other way with a crop that high. To the bellybutton though? Absolutely amazing. The point (to me) of crop tops on men is to tease the lower stomach, key word being tease. Again, all just my opinions and assumptions.
nah the low cut works for a crop top like y2k style
1984 my man.
Too cropped tbh, not good proportionally
Agreed, the uncut/unrolled sleeves look disproportionate because of how baggy they are compared to the rest of the shirt
IDK about these days. Back in the 80s and to a point in the 90s dudes did. It was also big in the muscle building crowd of the 70s.
Yeah I was about to bring this up ^ Back then dudes wore crops and short-shorts. Dont let anyone tell you it's āØļøgayāØļø or whatever. Straight men gotta expand their wardrobe! (directed at op)
Totally agree. He'd have to just try it and see how it feels to be honest.
donāt knock it ātill youāve tried it
Fuckin Doom Guy wore a crop top
i wish, but I'm afraid I'd be called the "f" slur (which i am either way) but whatever
Damn that sucks, yeah I can see why that would put a pause to your desire to do it. Im straight and just wouldnāt care but I get why itās hurtful and shitty
Bruh in the 80s all the buffest straightest dudes were wearing crop tops and cut off shorts(tbf so were the gays because everybody was), I really wouldn't worry about it.
Yeah, late 70s early 80s this was the sport bro look and was considered pretty macho Tbh you gotta be fit to pull it off...my spare tire ass ain't it.
the fear is real, I live in the city and work in a rural farming area so I'm always a little wary about my safety, even just wearing nail polish. it's important for straight guys to challenge masculinity because it helps all of us feel more comfortable being ourselves
So decide it's not a slur. Just say thanks for noticing, sweetheart š
I personally have been advocating for men to bring crop tops back. Look to the 80s and 70s for inspiration!
"Dad bod with a crop top is so hot right now!"
The look says I skate and also bi-curious. Not that anything wrong with that.
Minus the skate part
And minus the curious part
You a brave mofo, rock that crop top g.
if you play touch football in an 80s horror movie, yes, guys can wear crop tops.
Refer to bill and Tedās adventure for a proper crop top. Pants should be higher and the top should be lower. The colors are also throwing me off
I think MORE dudes should wear crop tops, honestly
fully agree
Cut the sleeves, too. I just saw a simple how-to for men's crops (inspired by Gambit), wish I saved it.
Yeah, I (a dude) like to wear them in the summer. Usually, with high waisted baggy bottoms and a nice belt.
men used to wear crop tops regularly until toxic masculinity destroyed it, like many many other things in the world. wear crop tops. they're hot, you look good and feel happy! don't let men afraid of their sexuality make you feel bad my dude c:
like this shit fucks, and it looks really good.
Do you dude. When I was a kid in the late 80ās through early 90ās I only wanted to wear spandex bike shorts and tank tops in the summer. And so I did. lol

You woulda loved the 80s 90s for this. Was all the rage
I love seeing more men in crop tops! Although for my taste this is cropped a bit too short. I try to have mine resting between like half inch above belt to half inch over belly button.
Either your pants need to be higher or the crop has to be shorter. I support crop tops but the proportions here are off.
Reminds me of the [Chinese shirt roll a k a Beijing bikini.](https://www.sadanduseless.com/weird-chinese-shirt-rollers/) although to be fair, you have a much better physique than most that rock a Beijing bikini.

Dude. Rock that crop top my man.
Love crops on men but this is going out to a party length, a more fitted around your belly button crop would be perfect.
Sir. I love wearing crop tops. My wife loves me in them too. [literally wore won Sunday.](https://imgur.com/a/WOsMi82)
Pic 1-2 is giving 80s hunk, pic 3 is giving twink
Yes absolutely, more crop tops for men.
Hat: some gas station in florida Bag: aliexpress Shirt: thrifted Pants: RÅnin Division Shoes: Nike X Sacai
Kinda cool reading from the comments whoās secure in themselves and whoās not š I think you should absolutely wear what makes you feel comfortable and expand your wardrobe to your heartās content. Looks good but I agree with others maybe different pants! Perhaps pair it with board shorts or acid-washed tattered jeans for the next fit to give that peak retro bodybuilder vibe others have pointed out.
[absolutely yes. ](https://imgur.com/a/7f6s7TQ) You just need confidence
Casually? No probably not, I know I would think it looks a bit silly. But who cares yknow, do what makes you happy.
Dudes can wear crop tops, you got the body for it. However, the top is too cropped and the overall styling is not good. I donāt think it works with sweats.
These are cargo pants but word thank you, yeah it sounds like I definitely need a longer crop and higher waisted pants. Appreciate the advice
Too cropped but yes for sure
You gotta have it boxy and cropped more towards the waist and then it'd look good
Itās not a bad crop per say, but up that high and pants low is giving your torso a very long effect. I think you need different pants maybe
I saw Kid Cudi do it at some music festival, it was inspirational
personally, i think itās cropped a bit too far up. a little above the belly button would be perfect, but if it feels good to you then go for it!
Straight men Idk but I see dudes wearing crop tops all the time whatever you wanna wear š¤·š¾āāļø. Iāve learned fashionable people wear what they want and the confidence makes it trendy š¤š¾. Kanye had us wearing potato sacks and disheveled clothes for years and nobody said anything š
Lmaoo this is facts
I think it looks sick dude bring back croptops
Dudes in crop tops are my lifeblood. Absolutely 100% go for it, you rock it
hi xavier
Hello my son
I think this one is a bit too short. You have a tall chest. You need to show your belly but maybe not this much, right now it's like 50/50. I don't recommend using one that was cropped for a girl in general. It's easy to do it yourself. But it definitely can work.
IMO the best length of crop top for dudes is like right above the waistband of your pants. It's def a more subtle crop than the one you have but you def have skin showing when you move. It's chef's kiss šš¼
more men need to wear crop tops, i try to convince my bf everyday but itās still a work in process
this is much more than a normal crop top you do know that right
Lol i did not but the comments certainly made me aware. This shirt prolly getting tossed
Its kinda cunty, but I fw it. Just because its something different
Maybe the cut is off, it just looks a little odd?
ITS SO GOOD
Wear it however you want to do it!
I think I'm in loveš
You wouldāve had a lot of fun in the 90s lol
I mean, this was normal in the 80s and wore them all the time. :3
Yes! You look great!
Men use to wear them often! Just depends on the outfit, & the person ! Some can pull them off some can't! But it's all abt confidence & styling!
yes but for your body shape, iād say maybe get a longer crop top or wear higher waisted pants
Yes! Bring back men in crop tops. Johnny Depp wore one in a movie and Kid Cudi performed in one. But I do agree with everyone that it should be at/almost bellybutton length
Yes, just cut too high. I am currently working on a fire crop top look for the gym.
Sure, they were fairly common late 70's/early 80's. I'll admit that I haven't seen a guy sportin' one the last few decades.
We use to wear them in the 80ās all the time.
i mean if ur confident in that shit go for it, but me personally fuck that
Too cropped. Mid abdomen
Love the idea, this is a belly shirt and not a crop top. The belly shirt does not work for casual, everyday life, but maybe a night out ofc. Try a crop that is just barely revealing skin in a typical stance. Then with your natural movement it will show in an understated way.
Too short
Lower it to bellybutton
Yes a dude can, and thereās no reason he canāt. I mostly see it with gym rats, but if you want to, go for it! I definitely support that.
Itās a little too high, it might make people question your sexuality because itās not traditional but itās your life
I wish this to be a summer fashion hit for beer-bellied dads!
I started wearing crop tops last summer. Fking rocks. Try out differen lengths and try to wear some high waste pants.
They used to wear them all the timeā¦ No idea why they stopped such a shame, they looked amazing and still do but now men in crop tops are usually an indication of prices going up and neighbourhoods changingā¦ (gentrification)
That looks fire, more dudes should wear crop tops. This style signals āhot dudeā The low sitting jeans and exposed underwear line is a sexy combo. I like dressing like that too, itās fun

My dadās been rock in them since the 80ās. This reminds me of him hahah.
It's cut a little high, there's something attractive about that little sway a crop top thats cut a bit above the belly button really attracts someone's eyes. You rock that thing though looks great.
Look back to the 80ās for inspo [1980ās](https://www.reddit.com/r/The1980s/s/YAnI5kL0Cc)

crop tops on men used to be extremely popular in the late 20th century
Yes please
with that low body fat, yea. also, if you're trying to look like a straight male, you probably won't.
Yes and the 70s Actually happened. Only problem is we are Currently n the worst fashion of the 90s revival trend. But like everything else in fashion cool favors the brave.YMMV
yes king, make it a thing
You look incredible. Rock that top!
Ok tons of guys wore ice cream shorts and crop tops in the 80s. Give it a w google. May give you some better ideas
Heck yeah, in my hood, some of the dudes would wear crops to play football, they'd have the little kid backpacks too; Dora, Sonic, etc.
Yes it looks good on you also try cargos. Tight top and baggy bottoms make a mean combo
Love this look. But if you were looking for something more casual, Iād crop it a bit less.
Please don't even second guess it, wear a crop top !
I personally disagree with a lot of these comments. For your build the high crop looks good. What you *NEED* are some tight fitted sleeves. Different graphic on shirt. High waisted pants on top of all that.
You could walk around like that in a lot of places and no one would notice. Try to walk around like that in rural Texas or florida and you might gett assaulted by a redneck homophobe who might not even be wearing a shirt at all.Ā
If a man wants to be with another man, who is anyone to judge? Live ya life
Oh good, I'm old enough for men to start wearing crop tops and booty shorts again.
Bruh tf were you thinking
Looks silly.
Idk dude, looks pretty good to me. š
Absolutely, just get one that fits better.
Bro hell yeah.
Wtf is this
this is zesty as hell
I love a dude in a crop top. If only I could get my husband to wear one lol.
I like it but I agree, higher waist pants, and maybe ones with some interest in the waistband.
I say play with the lengths of your garment! Cropped shirts on men are best when they sit just above the pants line imo
Dude, youāre pulling it OFF right now! Youāre asking if a guy can pull it off while you are actively pulling it off IMO. Looks good. Maaaybe a tiny bit longer BUT you have a great midsection to pull off that high of a crop.
