While I’m all for menswear that pushes the limits of personal comfort, this I fear the average North American homme may not be ready for layering in this manner just yet.
Layering has just become more key for men, and therefore options have opened up regarding one’s styling. Naturally, the cropped sweatshirt has appeared at a Oak NYC, which is possibly one of the most excellent sources for menswear online from North America.
The Oak crop top (shown below) runs at $162 per top; a sure price to pay for something many are still unsure about. I would adore seeing pieces of this manner layered [properly] on style saavy boys everywhere, but remember the importance of creating the whole look. After all, one can’t expect one daring piece to carry the weight of an entire look; you must support it with proper colors, cuts and piece quality.

this is even worse than “Meggings” which it looks like the poor slob on the right might actually be wearing…?
