The modern t-shirt reveals more about its wearer than it covers up. The shape and cut of the simple tee may be the same as its always been, but the messages and sayings printed on the front of these trendy, funny and offensive shirts, often speak volumes about your personality. Tees aren't just worn for clothing anymore. They've become an essential form of visual expression.
More daring than anything in the past, today's graphic tees range from the rude to the downright raunchy. They entertain us, they offend us, they challenge our perceptions, all while providing insight into their owners' minds like never before.
A funny or offensive shirt does more than just bring upon a laugh or an awkward stare, it reveals important information about your personality, your nature, your temperament.
There's a reason why so many of these humor tees are seen in movies nowadays. They explain everything we need to know about a character's personality without the narrator having to actually state it explicitly.
Really, you'd be hard pressed to find a cult-classic or modern college flick that doesn't feature a main character wearing a tee with a cool catchphrase in a few scenes.
Whether it's a reference to a character's thoughts on dating and commitment (e.g. "Define Girlfriend"), or a clever play on words showing he's a stoner ("Only Users Lose Drugs"), the audience gets the message loud and clear without the use of real dialog.
Call it a trend. Call it a geek's revenge. Whatever it is, it's the hottest new anti-fashion movement. And like Heidi says, if you're not in, you're out.
Yes, we've quickly become a nation of walking billboards. One where a proper sartorial display of crude wit and urban sophistication can break the ice and gain you instant acceptance into the cool crowd.
It's guerrilla marketing at its finest. And the only product you're branding is you.
There are many hidden layers of your personality that are waiting to be revealed by the right choice of shirt. Choose wisely.
So make sure your next shirt says all the right things about you. Ditch the plain white and go for something with a crazy saying or hilarious slogan.
