Looking for a Japanese Girlfriend Tee

Many of us know that there are a lot of very nice looking Japanese girls out there. Well, for those of you who would like a Japanese girlfriend, maybe this is your best bet.

This T-shirt from ThinkGeek features clear, clean text and a message that is perhaps best translated as "Now accepting applications for Japanese girlfriends." It features a nice red "rising sun of Japan" in the design, and you never know what conversation this T-shirt could start, or where it might lead!

The Tee is 100% heavyweight cotton and is going for $16.99 – $18.49 (presumably dependant on what size you get it in)

In the soft gray sweatshirt by fred flare you’ll look like a
superstar… plus, everyone will know your
name! It’s available in unisex size and currently in the sale for a measly $19.99 which works out at roughly a tenner.

Leroy Jenkins custom floral hoody

Blimey, perhaps if all those nasty hooded chavs were forced to wear a smart floral top like this, rather than the usual sports brands, then they’d be less inclined to beat each other up, film it on their mobiles, and post it on YouTube for kicks. £130 from Flatspot’s online store: BUY IT

PS. Leroy Jenkins is a relatively new clothing brand, and one that I guess is named after the legendary Leeeeeeeeeeroy Jenkins, internet superstar and useless World of Warcraft player.

The garments cost $35 and are available at Kenneth Cole stores throughout the US.

Bravado Guns N’ Roses rock t-shirt

I’ve had it up to here with people wearing rock t-shirts in an ironic fashion – you’ve 19 years old and you’ve never heard a single track by The Ramones, you muppet – but in the case of Guns N’ Roses, there’s no irony at all. Because, let’s face it, everyone loves a bit of ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ or ‘Sweet Child of Mine’. This tee features the classic GN’R skull-in-top hat logo. It’s enough to make me want to play the whole of Appetite for Destruction at a very high volume. I’m off…

Topman Striped Grandad Top

On the high-street, it can be difficult for blokes to find good gear, often having to swerve the stores to dive into the quirkier styles of the boutiques.

However, Topman have designed a great grandad top that is cool enough to wear on its own, or coupled up with something a bit smarter. From a distance, it looks like it’s pink, but on closer inspection, it’s a fine red and white stripe (just in case you want to be macho about it). It’s a limited run and will set you back £40.
