男士連體短褲裝，是時尚革命還是嘩眾取寵？

碎花、流蘇、雪紡，如今男士時裝中的女性元素越來越多，這還不夠，美國西北大學一群大學生干脆模仿女生的背心連體褲（romper），設計了一款名為RompHim的男士連體短褲裝。據稱，這款連體褲的穿著體驗非常舒適。為了實現批量生產，RompHim的設計者ACED Design已經在Kickstarter上發起眾籌，不到一天內就募集了1萬美金。不過，網友們對RompHim的評價褒貶不一，有人表示會去穿它，但是也有不少人認為這種衣服就是“一個錯誤”。

Writing on their website, the designers, who met at Northwestern University, explained: 'Though the idea came to us last year, our design journey started in earnest in early 2017.
這些設計師們來自美國西北大學，他們在其網站上寫道：“雖然我們去年就想到了這個點子，但是在2017年初才開始設計的。”

'We began working with a leading Chicago fashion design consultancy to turn our vision into a reality, and then partnered with local Chicago cut and sew shops to manufacture our sample run.
“我們和芝加哥一家一流的時裝設計咨詢公司合作，將想法變成現實。隨后，我們請芝加哥當地的裁縫店幫我們制作了樣品。”

'We launched our Kickstarter on May 15, 2017 to secure the capital needed to make our first large-scale run at our production facilities here in Chicago.'
“2017年5月15日，我們在Kickstarter上發起眾籌，確保有資金讓我們在芝加哥的生產設備能夠進行第一批大規模生產。”

But the striking garments have caused a stir online with one Twitter user calling them 'just wrong' with another saying she was 'offended' by them.
但是這款引人注目的連體褲在網上引發了熱議，一位推特用戶稱男士連體褲“就是個錯誤”，而另一位女士則表示，她覺得自己被“冒犯了”。

One wrote: 'My hubby would never wear a #romphim'.
一位網友寫道：“我丈夫絕對不會穿# romphim男士連體褲。”

However it wasn't all negative with one man branding them 'cute' while Ken Casparis said he 'would probably wear one'.
不過，并不是所有評論都是負面的，一位男士認為它們很“可愛”，而肯?卡斯帕拉斯說，他“也許會穿”。

A spokesperson for ACED Design told Femail: 'It was very cool to see so many people supporting the Kickstarter (campaign).
ACED Design的設計師告訴《每日郵報》女性專欄：“看到有這么多人支持我們的眾籌活動，真的太棒了。”

'We knew the product was something we would wear, and we had gotten positive initial feedback from a wide range of people who tested it out, but we really didn't foresee it being so popular on day one.'
“我們知道，這個產品是我們要穿在身上的，我們已經從眾多試穿者那里獲得了積極的初步反饋，但是我們真沒有想到它剛推出就會如此受歡迎。”

Speaking about the social media backlash, they added: 'With any new fashion, there will be supporters and critics, but we look forward to using the feedback to continue to make standout clothing.
談及社交媒體上的質疑，他們說：“任何新的時尚出現時，都會有支持者和批評者，但是我們希望通過用戶的反饋繼續做出優質的服裝。”
