Wearing "comedy" t-shirts with "amusing" slogans really should be punishable by a swift kick in the knackers.'

Caitlin OTM. Who buys this kind of crap? And places like Topman churn them out at a rate of knots. And they're all not only desperately unfunny in the most juvenile way, but they're 99.999% of the time absolutely disgusting to look at. Like someone ate a bunch of double entendres and then threw up a load of clingfilm covered in smegma all over a piece of rotten cheesecloth.

trust no one wearing an urban outfitters t-shirt, i say

i thought the pink shirt (when worn by a frat boy or similar) was kind of a homophobic thing, like acknowledging that they know pink is such a gay color but it would be funny if someone SO NOT GAY (just a bro) wore pink

They all want to be Cam'ron.

Those shirts at the top are OK, when understated. They're light cotton, which is nice for hot summers (and hot springs, and hot falls). They only start to look really stupid when some bro buys his two sizes too small to show off his man-boobs and cheeky-slogan t-shirt.

i'm tired of those types of button-down shirts made hipster-friendly by some stupid screen print, like a dragon or something.

Oh, God, it's either a dragon or a Japanese cartoon character. Vomit.

Erm, I'd rather be a hipster than wear something that references hipsters. Also, the striped shirts at the top look fine. They're the kind of thing a lot of us wear as a default thing. As someone who teaches at a university, they're perfect for smart-enough-for-work, even if they're not really interesting.

I like some of the higher end levi's plaid patterns. Pockets usually have a sort of mild western cut. Awesome colors... which reminds me to go buy one in all the wonderful shades of green....

I wear pink all the time. Some of it really started life as pink clothing, but there was a red t-shirt in the white clothes laundry disaster also. All white underwear and socks become a soft, washed out pink.

those american eagle shirts are so, well gay. don't mean it as offense to anyone gay - it's just that gay men are about the only people with
the hot bods and the hutspuh (sp?) to wear them well. Or, straight hipster guys between 16 and 24 years old - otherwise, forgedabodit.

the shirts from the top don't seem THAT bad. what's far far worse are those diagonal-striped right shirts that guido'ish dudes wear on the weekend to hang out at superclubs. like these:

ive been wearing button down shirts since forvever. less so since hathaway closed up shop a few years back. but what is with the 'broken in ' look with the shirts at the top? im not going to wear something that is wrinkled to the office thanks.

Incidentally, I love a man who can carry off a pink shirt. It's a rare quality and is to be appreciated at any time one sees it being done, and done with panache. A moment of humble silent appreciation for the man who wears a pink shirt and wears it well. Hubba hubba.

untucked, striped dress-shirts, usually with the top three buttons undone (perhaps combined with a corny-ass pair of 7 jeans) instantly mark u as a chump, imo. i like to play this game on nights i'm out where i count how many striped shirt douchebags i see. i usually stop at like 50 that i encounter in less than 30 mins. last week i told some dickhead i liked his cheesy shirt and his lips quivered lol

Tell you what I'm sick of seeing, and this is particularly in provincial UK - blokes (yes, blokes) in pink shirts. Not only because it seems to be making the statement of "I can wear a pink shirt so the girls'll think I'm sensitive, but really it's an excuse to TWAT ANYONE WHO MAKES A COMMENT", but also because if I try shopping anywhere near my home town, that's all I can find! And quite frankly, I'm not hard enough to wear a pink shirt.

I don't like using the expression but this is so fucking OTM.

is this like a new phase of fashion policing? i reckon i'd be pretty unlikely to notice what manner of striped shirt random folks in the pub are wearing unless it was blindingly awful. maybe i should be more observant.

the country shirt thing is pretty common here in nashville. i've got a couple with nice pearly snap buttons.

i have liked pastel shirts in the past. never had a pink one. but i had a yellow one with a collar and i'll never forget ... i sat down next to some smelly gutter dude on a BART train and he got up promptly and muttered, "faggot." it was kind of amusing. i didn't think people like that existed in the bay area.

being a nerd, it seems fairly common to be wearing t-shirts with logos and stupid math puns. etc. the ones touting sexualness always seemed stupid growing up. a lot of surf gear is overloaded with innuendo and stuff. we lived near a spring break haven too, so there was always some asshole with some sort of surfboard schlong zogg's sex wax "i bukake for bikinis" collage effect at most bars. a plain, white hanes pocket-tee was tasteful in that environment. probably still is. i stand by plain shit. nerd jokes and thrift store gear i like too. sucks to see the thrift look co-opted by mall chains and marked up 500% though.

I like the vintage Pendleton plaid shirts with the curved pockets. I've been kind of looking for a good flannel plaid shirt, I think it's time to bring those back - would get one from a thrift but they're always way too big for me.

An amazing thing I learned from my wife (and witnessed firsthand) is that Israel has its own version of Jersey Guidos - they're referred to pejoratively as Arsim (as in the plural of "arse"), they stereotypically come from Sefardic backgrounds (North African or Middle Eastern Jewish) and they have a lot of the same markers - open shirts, gelled hair, gold chains, trance music blasting out of their cars (trancemobiles), etc.
