Hollister Staffers Don't Think We're Ready for Their Jelly

Welcome to Torso Watch, our annual countdown til the first day of summer, also known as the day Hollister's greeters take off their shirts.

Despite the 90 degree weather in Manhattan today, Soho's Hollister hunks are holding out on showing off their washboard abs. Staffers told us that they will finally greet shoppers shirtless starting in June (which means three days, if we're lucky.) While everyone else in Manhattan sports summery ensembles, the Hollister staff is dressed rather conservatively. Their short-sleeved button-downs and knee-length shorts are a classic Hollister look, but our question is how they are possibly holding up in this post-Memorial day heat.—Tanya Loss
