Top 5 Classic T-Shirts to Love (Hate)
As I was listening to Donovan's "I Love My Shirt" on the way into the city for work, I looked down at my polyester dress (sorry, may I be excused?), and wished I had worn my favorite t-shirt instead.
Then I got to thinking...
There is something about a t-shirt that is so classic, so standard (in a good way) - like orange juice and Cheerios with skim milk in the mornings.
The t-shirt is an American wardrobe staple. It covers the torso and houses the shoulders comfortably in two little fabric tubes, with a minimum of structural complexity.
Who doesn't have a drawer full of crappy t-shirts? Who doesn't own a favorite t-shirt that's been on the floor, shoved in the closet, sweated in, and rolled around on the grass for years?
So I thought I'd Google "Classic T-Shirt", and find out if the collective social entity of THE INTERNET had some favorites to divulge...
THE RESULTS:
5. The Fake Bikini
No family vacation would be complete without finding a tacky store with floor-to-ceiling racks of these babies in many colors and styles. And it's okay: EVERYONE'S mother had her photo taken holding this up on herself. You're not alone.
4. COLLEGE
I don't know where to begin.
Two words: Animal. House.
Two more words: John. Belushi.
One closing statement: I am so sick of seeing this shirt on every frat boy.
3. I'm With Stupid
(Honey, these are the INSIDE-YOUR-HEAD thoughts.)
The ultimate family reunion/large social gathering ice-breaker tee.
2. STONES!!!!!!!
Rock n' Roll. Never dying. So on, so forth.
Urban Outfitters remade this a few years ago.
Ebay is all over it.
Certainly no dearth of vintage Stones threads (authenticity to be debated).
1. The Tuxedo
The Original "Ironic T-Shirt".
The Original "Tacky T-Shirt That Rules"
The Original "Party Asshole T-Shirt"
The Original.
And finally, just for kicks, my very favorite t-shirt that I wear while sleeping or printing...
