When it comes to fashion, women have the best of all worlds, as they are not restricted to simply skirts and blouses. There are vests, blouses, Tees, tanks, rompers, overalls, jeans, shorts, bodysuits, jackets,skirts, skorts, and blazers to choose from. Women have even taken various men's wear, like boyfriend jeans and oversized tees, made to fit like dresses.

Apart from the runway, mainstream men’s clothing still lacks the diversity of women’s clothing. But now it seems men's designers are now seeking the best of both world’s in fashion, too. Some articles of clothing typical for women’s wear are now being modeled in men’s fashion.

Much of the fashion world is moving swiftly towards more gender-neutral clothing anyway. However, some new men’s clothing styles are producing mixed feelings on social media. The new trending piece for men, that is attracting both negative and positive attention is the RompHim, a one-piece clothing article fashioned after a women’s romper, which is made to fit the body build of men. It is similar to the jumpsuits some men may be required to wear in automotive jobs, (sort of like overalls, but with a shirt for the top).

Many on Twitter have voiced their opinion about this style. Some, like @_JayCream feel positive about it, tweeting:

“Idk about y’all but I feel like I could rock this……#RompHim”

Some women who know the struggle of rompers, like @allisonpiwo, offer some warning:

“Until the guy has to get completely naked just to pee whilst wearing a romper, it’s a no from me. #RompHim”

Still, others are staunchly opposed to the idea, @ryanfield tweeting:

“I don’t think so… #RompHim”

According to a Twitter poll conducted by @PeopleofMemphis the general consensus of ladies on the RompHim is a 53% no, 22% yes, 16% okay, and 9% unsure how they feel.

Men’s fashion usually faces a lot more criticism for copying feminine styles than does the female fashion world for copying men’s. Items such as satchels, pouches, some styles of men's skinny jeans, and some urban style oversized Tees with certain cuts, have been criticized because people believe they are feminizing men.

In a viral Facebook video of a young preteen showing off his dance moves, many people commented on his urban trendy style of dress, criticizing him for wearing a “dress,” which was actually one such oversized Tee mentioned above.

Many male celebrities like Jaden Smith, Lil Uzi Vert, and Kanye West, to name a few, have also come under fire for wearing “feminine” clothing.

The RompHim has many talking, and it is only a matter of time before we see if this new trend will hit it off, or hit the rocks.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
