This is all across SE Asia. I've seen it through Cambodia, Thailand, The Philippines, Laos... it's a heat thing.

(I hella need to clean the mirror...)
O la la!
that's why crop top should be more acepted for unisex clothing.
We must go back to 80's hot guy standards
Look at them, living life, no micro plastics in sight just red blooded American masculinity and lead poisoning like God intended
Their clothes are comprised entirely of microplastic floss.
If you can see the plastics they're by definition not micro!
We had plastic in the ‘80s.
80s hot guy fashion with 20s body standards
So long as we're not talking the 1820's
That could look hot with a conventionally attractive belly and perhaps some low-cut pants. Odd choice to not just wear tank tops/undershirts, though - exposing your armpits is huge for ventilation.
Hot-girl summer is genderless

Oh trust me, they roll those up too. For the full bikini effect.
That's how it's done in India.
Wait.
Grandfathers exposing themselves is so frequent that they have a word for it?
Where I come from, nowhere near China, it's pretty common to see old men shirtless in their gardens. Hell, my neighbor pretty much just hanged around in his undies all day every day from May to September lmao
Technically now he's a great-grandfather.
It's basically a compound word created to describe this phenomenon, don't worry lol
That's where you steal stuff while you're hanging dong so if you get caught you have a distraction
Not sure it'd be much of a distraction.
Is it distinctive, though? I went to Mexico and saw this everywhere from folks who seemed like locals.
It's very common in Vietnam too
And India
The Balkans have had this ages ago... I guess it was called Balkan Bikini this entire time it's just that no one named it...
Instructions unclear poured water unto flannel over shirt, now cool but truck bench is now wet.
I do that and I just get called gay slurs.
I don't get why they don't just take off their shirt if its so hot?
Maybe they think it's indecent to expose their nipples. We certainly seem to think like that when it comes to women's wear, see regular bikini tops.
Because then you have to set it down somewhere
I do it all the time and hang it somewhere. off a belt or just keep it round my neck. If its real hot you need to free up the pits.
I call it Couch Status Quo
