I could only find examples of these shirts on AE's website but obviously there's lots of manufacturers who make them.

Who do I have to pay to see these shirts disappear? Please tell me who started this trend so I can kill that person.

Meatheads, rappers, indie kids, preps and everyone except goths seems to wear them.

they just look like shirts to me. what's so distinctive about them?

The preppy button-down shirts I can live with, but if you're over the age of 14 and wearing a shirt with a "funny" caption on it, please kill yourself now.

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.

At least I know who to avoid when I'm walking home on a Friday night.

― Wogan Lenin (dog latin), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 00:57 (eighteen years ago) link

there's nothing wrong with them per se it's just annoying to see how *everyone* all of the sudden started to wear them. i mean, why?! you cant espace them if you go to a nightclub.

it's boring too.

How about the CHINESE LAUNDRY SHIRTS with ugly racist caricatures?

Also, shiny shirts worn by greasy townies while clubbin in northeastern american college towns.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

i have worn it twice. it's incredibly uncomfortable and i look like a douchebag and it's too cheesy to be a dress shirt, too dressy to be a casual shirt, and only exists for one purpose: clubbing at suburban bars and trying to maximize the pwnage of post-grad tang.

I haven't worn a shirt on a non formal occasion for so long...

I'm sure somewhere out there is the right shirt for me, but I haven't found it.

Where do you guys even buy shirts? I always think it's weird that I have friends who wear a shirt, like specially, if they're going out, why don't they just buy nice t-shirts. I mean nothing wrong with shirts but I don't like the division between the two. I just can never find casual shirts that I like.

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.

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.
