A skeleton cetuar is minorly creepy, but this highly stylized t-shirt print still looks super cool. Available in a slim shape that’s far from a giant tee at ’80s Purple, you get a funky style on a classic shape for a good spring combination–and at a price thats’s really refreshing. 100% cotton for breathability and durability; model is wearing a small here. [$27 at '80s purple]
Care for a spot of sailing ’round the bay? This shirt from Toddland over at Urban Outfitters combines a striking silhouette of white on navy in a nice, soft hand. Made in the USA and exclusive to Urban, this is a spring-summer dream ringing in at under $25 and available in S-M-L-XL. Since it fits true-to-size, you can expect a slimmer cut and feel than those baggy tees lurking in your dresser. [$24 at urban outfitters]
Get ready, ’cause this shirt’s a doozy come the back view. Available at Oak, it combines a cool grey and mottled look with a half-half back complete with an electric pink cut-out. Don’t say we didn’t warn you! At least you’ll make quite the statement upon exit, because you get the cool color combination along with an exaggerated shirttail hem along the back. Sizes small to large in 100% rayon. [$110 at oaknyc]
T-shirts usually aren’t this sexy, so good on Howe for rocking the boat and bringing us a shirt that we can wear out and still look hot. In danger of ending up on the perpetual “borrowed by the girlfriend” list, the Bordel de Boheme tee features two lovely nymphs from a bygone time, complete with some sexy-looking writing in French. You can get yours up to size XL at ’80s Purple, and we highly recommend that you do. [$48 at '80s purple]
St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. Finally, that one day of the year when we can all get together and get completely hammered on a weeknight without having to come up with an excuse like “my dog died” or “I got fired” or “it’s Wednesday.” Nope, no bullshit excuses to justify your chronic alcoholism and long suffering liver on St. Pat’s day, just shitty green beer, good friends (hopefully) and lots of bar fights (double hopefully). And let’s face it, by the end of the night, you’re going to be slurring your curse words and saying sexually inappropriate stuff to chicks anyway, why not let your fellow party-goers know what to expect from you ahead of time by rocking one of these equally offensive t-shirts?
Graphic tees can be touch-and-go, but this one from Modern Amusement races ahead of the pack, without a glance in another direction! It’s got a nicely decorative thing going on, with highly stylized lettering spelling out none other than your label of choice (that’s Modern Amusement, fyi). I’m not quite sure if it’s truly functional, but there’s also a front pocket at left if you need it. Available in s-m-l-xl. [$55 at '80s purple]
Looking for a plain tee that’s not. . . too plain? J. Lindeberg’s got your back with this arty tee in bold black and white that still isn’t overly “graphic.” Tone-on-tone stitching keeps this tee low-key in 100% cotton, and you can toss it in the wash along with the rest of your stuff. Scribble print is a fun and easy warm weather choice, but you can always layer it with a hoodie for now! [$61 at ssense]
Wood Wood by OakNYC has a cool Scandinavian-French fusion thing going on, with classic Franco stripes zipping horizontally across its trim chest fit. Look slouchy yet fresh in a 100% cotton top with thick banded sleeves and a patch pocket with a red closure. Yes, red– we’ve really getting the whole Parisian vibe up and running now! Available in s-m-l to give you a jump start on the warmer weather. [$174 at oak]
Wild stallions racing across the open prairie? This soft organic cotton tee, made in Peru, features an ultra-manly design with exposed tonal stitching and a generous cut. Toss it in the machine with no problem and wear this one out: it’s got a perfect price point and a tall-friendly torso length… not to mention that wild, ride ‘em cowboy design. Available in sizes s-xl, but not for long. [$55 at tobi]
