ASOS mocked for selling 'boob tubes' for men - but some think they're 'awesome'

Everywhere you turn these days it seems like hemlines and t-shirt lengths are getting shorter and shorter by the second, with some forgoing clothing all together and wearing underwear as outwear.

But it's not just women who will be baring their midriffs and showing some skin this summer.

That's because ASOS are currently selling a number of cropped tops and bandeau-style 'boob tubes' especially for men - this includes cropped tanks, cropped sweatshirts and even cropped shirts.

However the new trend has divided opinions online and sparked a heated debate.

Many have not been shy about sharing their dislike for the tops.

One user wrote: "If I start seeing men in crop tops this summer I'm done."

Another asked: "ASON (as seen on nobody). Would be genuinely interested in seeing the sales figures... I can't imagine anyone buying that!"

A third said: "Every time I have a gander on ASOS only thing that keeps getting shoved in my face is men's crop tops, get them f***ed off big time, who's even buying s**** like that?"

Others just thought some of the designs were poor as they looked like one shirt that had been cut into pieces.

However not everyone saw a problem with the garments.

A different user said: "ASOS are selling men's crop tops and people are complaining... YOU'RE NOT BUYING IT SO WHY DOES IT AFFECT YOU?"

Someone else posted: "Why the heck not? He looks awesome and he's killing it."

A third responded to the backlash by saying: "ASOS is now making so-called crop and tube tops for men. Cool with me. For years men have been wearing some version of these especially in boxing gyms and football practice fields. Why can't we see them as casual wear?"

MirrorOnline have contacted ASOS for comment.
