You probably love the feel of your summer tees, but sometimes they just look so blah, right? Well,it doesn't have to be that way. T-shirts with real style are out there, if you know where to look. We called in hundreds and tried them all on till we found the best you can buy.
A Big, Bold GraphicT-shirts call for simple graphics, not intricate ones. This is your chance to get all Rothko. Note the shorter sleeves and how the tee hits just barely below the waist. That's how a good tee fits. When you get a new tee, yank on the collar a bit. You don't want it choked around your neck. Saturdays NYC |
