Those shirts just weren't for the guys. I still have mine from my high school. I have 2 that I kept as a memory of the good ole days.

I grew up in the 80s and still sport the old half shirt. If the abs are tight dont be afraid to show it.

If your in shape the half shirt never goes out of style(for strait guys). not to be worn every where, but at home in the summer, at the gym, or while exerciseing there great, plus my girl friend loves it.

I love when my boyfriend wears a muscle shirt cut in half around the house. Seeing his abs on display is so sexy!!!

I grew up in the 80s. I used to wear half cut off shirts all the time. I still do in the gym and when I am running.

I had a million in the 80s and still have most of them. I'm a fit, straight guy and have no problem wearing something that's comfortable, even if gay guys have mostly co-opted the image. Since when is a man's bellybutton gay? LOL. I wear them at home, to the beach, to the gym, jogging, on the bball court. I do agree that there's not much reason to just wear it out everywhere, but for heat-intense situations or lounging, yeah!

The trend will come back...Just wait! American Eagle and Abercrombie even might bring it back. LOL

I grew up wearing half-shirts all the time. I still have several which I enjoy wearing around the house, the beach, gym, and cycling. I find them to be cool in the warm weather and very comfortable! If you are fit go for it. I agree with Jim, what is gay about a guy's abs?

Ive noticed while searching the web that there are a lot of strait guys who still like to sport the half shirt. I thought I was the only one, who would like to see this trend come back. Half shirts are comfortable and if you have the abs try one on youll be hooked (so will your girl friend)

I was just thinking about this.. It is amazing that the half shirt was in style in the 1980's for guys(I remember having a few) to wear and in 2009 to wear them society might think you were gay. Yet, it is ok, for women to wear, belly baring shirts. What happened in a matter of 29 years? And contrary to what others have said on here I know that there would be places people would give you crap about it today if you are a guy wearing them. That is what is sad about the world we live in now. I personally don't think that there is anything gay about it and as a straight guy I miss the days when people didn't just question or jump to conclusions about someone just because of how they dressed.

I love to see my boyfriend wearing half shirt. I am 17 and this fashion fad of the 80s is very cool. I have cut many of my boyfrineds shirts in half and he looks hot showing up his abs.

My boyfriend ripped one of his shirts at the bottom so just for fun I made him a half shirt. I love it, it draws attention to his six pack. Now Ive made him more and I make him wear them, now he kinda likes them. Try it.

Sice the last time I wrote a comment, it is nice to see that guys and gals have a nice opinion of half shirts. My wife and I grew up in the 80s and have never uderstood the gay conection. After all the half shirt originated from collegue and pro-football. Very few gays in that sport. I will wear them. I do have good set of abs and I don't care about what others will think.

Hey Stacey and Carolina, I am the dude lying on the grass with my head on football. Post some pics of your boyfriends wearing your homemade half shirts!

I'm a straight guy, but I actually like belly shirts shirts better on guys than on girls. I think the girls have worn the concept out, so it's the guys' turn now. Half shirts are comfortable and practical for sports. I'd wear one if they came back in style. I think it's stupid that some people associate them with homosexuality. There's no real reason for that connotation. Come on, guys! Show off your bellybuttons! Let's bring the trend back! We've already seen the return of some old fads from the 70s and 80s; could the male belly shirt be next? I hope so.

I love half shirts on boys. My boyfriend already has like twenty of them. They look cool.

I thought I was the only strait guy who still liked half shirts, after looking around on the web there are lots of of us. In order to bring them back you just have to start wearing them again, I do. Im really glad to see girls like them as well.

I think this gay association of the half-shirt is very silly. In the 1980's the coolest guys in our school strutted around in half-shirts. They got a lot of attention from the girls in part because of their confidence and sex appeal. Many college football teams donned half-shirts as well. It would probably have to originate there again in order for it to become fashionable once more. BTW..Since when is it not masculine to show off your six-pack?
