Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo sparked positive reactions online for “breaking toxic masculinity” after sharing a photo of himself wearing a fitted crop top and denim jeans while in Seoul, South Korea.
The Olympic gold medalist received praise for challenging gender stereotypes in both fashion and sports. Fans applauded his confidence, with one commenter saying, “Winning the Olympics and now breaking toxic masculinity and cultural codes of dressing up. Carlos, you’re the gold!”
Despite some mixed opinions, Yulo’s outfit aligns with a broader trend of men embracing crop tops, skirts, and makeup, popularized since the 1970s by figures like Sylvester Stallone.
