Retailer Urban Outfitters is catching flack from the Internet after selling an odd choice of clothing.
This isn’t the first time the company has caught some backlash for their products. There was a time recently when UO attempted to sell a simulated blood-splattered Kent State Sweatshirt and that definitely didn’t go over well with shoppers.

Now the item in question is a shirt that covers, well, nothing.
Urban Outfitters tried to sell a shirt to women called the Extreme Crop Tank Top Shrug. The “extreme” title is absolutely right because it is a little more than a small piece of cloth with a description that reads:
“The ultra-sexy way to layer with this teeny cropped tank top by Out From Under. Cropped above chest for the coolest layered look featuring a crop neck and thin shoulder straps.”
Naturally, the internet had thoughts and Urban Outfitters has since removed the “shirt” from their web site.
Twitter user Alanna Okun took to the social media platform to give her opinion on the top writing, “i have some questions.” And the floodgates opened.

@alanna @nycsouthpaw Seriously? What is that? Why don’t they just put her out in just a bra and claim the “Shrug” is invisible?

@alanna So it just leads to unwelcome pondering as to how uncomfortable it would be to wear a bunched-up top all the time. Also “Why? How? WHY‽”

@alanna how is this a thing people would pay to wear?

@alanna @nycsouthpaw is she wearing it backwards? Or maybe I’m confused. Why would I want my bra sticking out under my shirt?
