A few months ago, “Vogue” declared 2026 the “Year of the Crack.” NOT the drug, the BACKSIDE CLEAVAGE. Yes, “plumber’s crack.”
Well, FRONTSIDE CLEAVAGE is also a thing now. And for MEN too.
The latest example? The Cannes Film Festival is happening now, and model Alton Mason has been making his case for an aggressively open shirt.
It’s not just “forgot-a-button” open, we are talking “is-this-a-shirt-or-is-this-a-CAPE” open. (Here are some photos.)
These shirts probably don’t even need to have buttons, he designed these shirts himself, specifically to be “worn” or “hung” around his chest.
Alton’s styles will be launched in stores, so you can try the look too. And they CAN be buttoned. Technically. So if your summer physique isn’t quite ready for prime time yet, you can ease into it, one button at a time.
