Is this a sweatshirt or is it lingerie? Can we call it a shrop (sheer-top)?
The existence of the "shrop" begs many questions. If it’s a sweatshirt, why is it see-through? If it’s lingerie, why does it have thick sweatshirt sleeves? In case your arms get cold? The sheer section is silk, and therefore the entire garment is dry clean only. Not exactly conducive to gym wear, dry clean only items, are they? Another thing not conducive to gym wear (or lingerie for that matter) is the price tag. Be grateful it is in the sale and is reduced to $298. It formerly cost $425.
What do you think though readers? Is this just the job for your next workout? Or can you see yourself lounging around the bedroom in it? If so, you can buy it here.

In Australia and the UK ‘sweatshirts’ are known as ‘jumpers’. Perhaps ‘shrumper’ would be a better name just to emphasis the horror of such an ugly and nonsensical piece?
I’m a little creeped out the model appears to have no breast and no nipples. I know she probably has on something underneath, but because it’s not obvious she looks like she’s not human or something.
Alexander Wang, in my opinion, has made a lot of terrible clothing this year, and this item is no exception.
you should call them shtops, as in, “oh, shtop.”
Why doesn’t she have nipples
?
They seriously believe that more people will buy this when they remove the nipples in the picture?!
