The amount that the\u00a0creators wanted to acquire in a month was $10,000, but they surpassed their goal and reached over\u00a0$360,000 pledged with time to spare.<\/p>\n<p>The concept that the Chicago-based team has developed includes a full button-front short sleeve-shirt featuring a front pocket, adjustable waist with back AND front pockets, and zipper fly for you know&#8230;.men.\u00a0Already this design surpasses the functionality and comfort of any female design, but what else would you expect?<\/p>\n<p>The reason it has gained so much traction is not only because the romper is a comfortable\u00a0and versatile piece of clothing that should be owned by most people, but also because the RompHim\u00a0sparked\u00a0a debate about what is\u00a0considered &#8220;manly&#8221; attire.\u00a0I, personally, don&#8217;t see the problem. This romper\u00a0is simply a shirt connected to a pair of\u00a0shorts. It\u00a0is not the equivalent of the booty shorts rompers that are an option for females. \u00a0In fact, the RompHim is no\u00a0shorter\u00a0than\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chubbiesshorts.com\/products\/mericas-mens-american-flag-shorts?coll=d-the-crazy-shorts&amp;position=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chubbies<\/a> (shorts that have a 5.5 inch inseam mind you) that are staples in the southern frat boy wardrobe<strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0 Say what you want, but I am a full on supporter of this outfit.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let&#8217;s look at Cam Newton in a floral one piece at Coachella (disclaimer: this is NOT by RompHim).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-549 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/yosoyalexandria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/cam-newton-coachella-2.jpg\" alt=\"cam-newton-coachella-2\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yosoyalexandria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/cam-newton-coachella-2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/yosoyalexandria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/cam-newton-coachella-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/yosoyalexandria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/cam-newton-coachella-2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tell me this man does not look beautiful.
