Dennis Trillo joins men's crop top trend, calls himself 'Kapusod'

Jennylyn Mercado playfully teased her husband Dennis Trillo on Instagram for wearing a crop top, a trend started by Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and embraced by other male celebrities like Eumir Marcial.

In videos posted last Friday and days later, Dennis jokingly referred to himself and his companions as 'Kapusod' in the captions, using a play on words.

Jennylyn commented that Dennis had borrowed the shirt from her closet and reminded him to return it.

The trend of men wearing crop tops gained popularity in the 1940s during World War II due to fabric shortages, and later became a trend in the 1980s with boy bands.

According to Nelson Canlas's report on '24 Oras,' this fashion choice is seen as a way to challenge gender stereotypes and break toxic masculinity.

Other male celebrities who have joined the trend include Olympic bronze medalist Eumir Marcial, who got praised by netizens for his bold move.
