Cropped Baby Tees Challenge Traditional Ideas of Masculine Style

Some men are starting to wear T-shirts that are tighter and shorter than usual.

These shirts are sometimes called baby tees or cropped tees.

They show more of the body instead of hiding it under loose clothing.

Famous people have helped make this style more familiar.

Some people wear it simply because they like how it looks.

Others see it as a way to show that men do not have to dress according to strict rules.

Social media has helped people everywhere see and copy new styles.

In some Indian cities and social groups, the look is becoming easier to wear.

In other places, people may still worry about how others will react.

The trend may be temporary, but it is also making ideas about masculinity more flexible.
