Ever since Yves Saint Laurent invented Le Smoking pour femme in 1966, the boundaries between garments reserved for women's wardrobe and menswear have started to fade away more and more. The latest taboo to fall is the crop top. Over the years, this item showing off the abs has had moments of popularity and phases in which it has been left to gather dust at the bottom of the closet. Now a new generation of men is rediscovering it and, from Harry Styles to Jaden Smith, there are many guys who wear it regularly. Now that even important brands such as Fendi have re-proposed it on the catwalk, in a fluid half-suit version, the trend is preparing to return as the protagonist of the outfits of the coming seasons.
The favorite item of athletes and rockers
