It's the fashion craze taking 2017 by the balls — literally.
By Brittany White — Written on May 22, 2017
Their internet has been losing its mind over the latest fashion trend — one that's quite ... unique ... and super uncomfortable for many to look at ...
No, really. Male rompers, AKA "romphims" are officially a thing, and guys are actually wearing them, including some notable celebrities like Andy Cohen.
I rocked the romper in 2015 and I'll keep doing it!

This trend comes to us all courtesy of a Kickstarter campaign for The Original RompHim.
According to this statement on RompHim's site:
"Turn heads and break hearts when you take your RompHim for a spin. Is it a romper specially designed for men? Sure, but it's also so much more.
We spent countless hours designing the RompHim to be your favorite summer outfit. Concerts? Beach days? Rooftops? Pool parties? Leisurely strolls? Bar patios? This super-garment is designed to take them all on in style, keeping you cool as the days and nights heat up.
We're revolutionizing men's fashion, and that doesn't stop at product aesthetics. We tested our Romphims on guys of all shapes and sizes to make sure we offer something for everyone — and our buttoned waist tabs help you get the most flattering contours possible. We promise that once you put it on, you won't wanna take this thing off."
What the ... I don't understand this. Like, seriously, who the hell thought this was a good idea.
Whoever created this design had to be drunk off their ass, because nobody sober would ever be like, "Oh, yeah, male rompers! They'll be super flattering ... and we'll offer them in all colors — even florals!"
Please make it stop. Make this trend go away. Start a Change.org petition — whatever it takes to make male rompers disappear.
Thankfully, there is ONE good thing emerging out of this romper disaster ... some hysterically funny memes.
So, for your enjoyment (but mostly for mine) here are 10 of the most hilarious memes about male rompers.
1. At least you got sex with that thing on.
"After sex and she just throws your romper over to you and says, 'your uber here.'"
2. What are we, Mary-Kate and Ashley?
"When you in the mall and ya homie suggests matching rompers for the kickback later."
3. I mean, I guess it works ... if you're into that sort of thing.
"Her: How much you pay for your romper? Me: It was half off. Her: I'm tryna see it 100% off. Me: ."
4. Probably not the best idea ...
"Need to pee but I'm wearing a romper."
5. The ONLY good thing about them.
"When the romper get caught in his butt crack."
6. How dare she.
"The answer that will literally take a man's soul from his body. Did you wear my romper?! ... Yes."
7. How dare I make that mistake ...
"When somebody says 'Nice jumpsuit,' when you're clearly wearing a romper."
8. When your boys try to make you feel good about your romper ...
"Go get her bruh! She feeling that floral look on ya romper, looking mad poetic dawg. You a flower child, beautiful child you in the zone!"
9. A problem I hope to never have with my boyfriend.
"Me: Is that my hoodie? Her: Is that my romper? Me: ."
10. No. Just ... no.
"After I do pushups in the parking lot before going in the club with my new romper on."
