It's 2024, and men are definitely allowed (nay, encouraged) to break gender stereotypes. Exhibit A is olympic medalist Carlos Yulo. He first piqued the world's attention by winning two gold medals at the recent Paris 2024 Olympics for gymnastics, a sport that's traditionally considered a female-dominated sport. But most recently, he defied societal gender norms yet again with his latest OOTD featuring barrel leg jeans, platform loafers, and a crop top.

Netizens were quick to comment on Carlos' ensemble, applauding the athlete for being completely comfortable in his masculinity. "Winning the Olympics and now breaking toxic masculinity and culture codes of dressing up," one commenter said. "Carlos, you're the gold!"
His fellow gymnasts also gave the look a thumbs up, with Dutch gymnast Casimir Schmidt and Malaysian gymnast Chun Chen Ng saying he slayed.
Others admired his confidence, saying, "Konti lang kaya mag pull off ng crop top. Ganda pa ng physique mo — ayun, inis na naman mga bashers at inggit sayo. Keep it up, Caloy!"
