Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters is well-known for some of their, umm, odd choices when it comes to some of the clothing they try to sell.
Like, for just one example, that time they tried to sell a simulated blood-spattered Kent State sweatshirt. Yeah, that didn’t go over too well.
So it’s without a terrible amount of surprise that they were back once again trying to sell yet another “questionable” item of clothing.
This time Urban Outfitters tried to sell a shirt to women called the Extreme Crop Tank Top Shrug.
Extreme is right, because it is little more than a small piece of fabric with a description that reads…
“The ultra-sexy way to layer with this teeny cropped tank top by Out From Under. Cropped above chest for the coolest layered look featuring a crop neck and thin shoulder straps.”
“Cropped above chest.” LOL…uh, okay.
Naturally, the internet had thoughts and Urban Outfitters has since removed the “shirt” from their web site. Wonder why?

Seriously? What is that? Why don't they just put her out in just a bra and claim the "Shrug" is invisible?

When you want to go in public in just your underwear but someone said you HAVE to have a shirt.

So it just leads to unwelcome pondering as to how uncomfortable it would be to wear a bunched-up top all the time. Also "Why? How? WHY‽"

@polly I think that it's a clavicle warmer

@nycsouthpaw is she wearing it backwards? Or maybe I'm confused. Why would I want my bra sticking out under my shirt?
