So, men are shaving their chest hair into bikini tops now. Guys of all ages (even senior citizens) have been posting photos on social media, showing off their, uh, works of art. 

It's unclear how the trend started, but it looks like guys have been shaving their chest hair to look like women's bikini tops for a few years now. This photo of an old man at the beach was posted on Instagram two years ago:

In 2009, College Humor compiled a list of the best chest hair designs, which (naturally) included women's bikini tops. Other men have recently caught wind of the look, which apparently isn't only for the beach. There's also now a #ChestHairBikini hashtag. While this is clearly a harmless and dumb/silly trend, we can't help but wonder what drives these guys to man-groom a bikini into their chest hair. Alcohol, perhaps? Yeah, who are we kidding. It's alcohol.
