Grunge-alicious

There’s been a lot of flannel shirts about lately for people rocking the rockabilly trend, but as that fashion dies a bit of a death, it seems the flannel shirt might be breaking ranks and whoring itself out to other trends. Or maybe it’s just too good to let die. Whatever. Fact is, they seem to be sticking around getting a lot bigger and baggier, reminding me of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and Matt Dillon in that film from the 90s (you know, that one). In case you were wondering, this is a good thing.

Anyway, they’re all over the catwalks at Kriss Van Assche and Siv Stoldal to name but two. There’s also some quite lovely and more affordable ones from Shades of Griege, available from Context

Wrong Wroks Kate Moss t-shirt

By admin on October 3rd, 2007

Mosstshirt
According to my not very scientific research,
which consisted of me looking at how many print t-shirts I’ve bought, I can now
comprehensively say that they’re more popular because of the rise of cardigans.
What was the point of a great print on a t-shirt if it’s hidden under a jumper?  While abstract prints are great, sometimes you want a print with a nice picture.

Wrong Wroks specialize in celebrity-based
printed tees, with designs on Paris Hilton, Scarlett Johannson and this Kate Moss tee
(£24). With the skull and cross bones design on the front, you can pretend that
it’s all an ironic take of the anti-drugs stance and that you’re being the post-pre-post-
modernist. Or you can be honest and say you just like the picture.

That joke t-shirt isn’t funny anymore? Try David & Goliath instead

By admin on September 25th, 2007

Funny
t-shirts are usually the hardest shirt to get right. Pick a joke that has a
short shelf life or, worse, isn’t funny in the first place, and you’re likely to
have your friends groaning rather than laughing. The main problem with joke
t-shirts is that they tend to be too obvious, often resorting to being crude rather
than telling a joke.

David & Goliath are an unpretentious brand
- their motto is ‘we make stupid stuff so you don’t have to’ – who specialise
in tees that are silly, subversive and tongue-in-cheek. The fit of the t-shirts
are another selling point, tapered at the waist to give a V-shaped silhouette.
Their shorts cost $20 and are available from their website.

Energie polo shirt

Energie_polo_2
Although
jumpers, jackets and scarves are all very important in these upcoming winter
months, you’ll still need to wear something underneath it all. Polo shirts tend
to mix better with V-necks, making a casual outfit just that little bit
sharper.

Italian
brand Energie have come out with a range of clean cut polo shirts for their
winter collection. The colour is perfect for those of us who don’t want to let
that summer feeling go just yet. Costing £35, it’s available from Capital
collection

Burton military shirt

By Isabelle on September 13th, 2007

Burtonmilitaryshirt
I’m loving the military look this season, and if you’re trying to experiment with more adventurous colours like aubergine and mustard they look great with military tones of khaki, steel blue and navy. Burton’s fine stripe shirt (£25) has lots of great details like topstitching, epaulette tabs on the shoulders and darts for a slim fit. Team it with cords in the aforementioned aubergine hue, or with jeans and a mustard cardigan for a subtly colourful look.

Burton grey military shirt

Burtongreyshirt
This smart badged shirt from Burton (£22) is just the thing to add some military chic to your winter wardrobe, and it’s great for adding a bit of interest to ordinary office gear. Military is one of those trends that never really goes away and this time around you can work it by mixing a variety of khaki neutrals. Team with some dark burgundy trousers and a khaki v-neck for a mean and moody look.

Tony Hart t-shirt from Tate

By Isabelle on August 31st, 2007

Tonyharttee
Not everyone will have heard of Tony Hart, but those that do will undoubtedly remember him fondly for his children’s TV programmes in the ’80s. Lovely ethical company Howies have made a t-shirt for the Tate with Tony’s name emblazoned across the chest for the princely sum of £25. I’m a little disappointed there’s no chalk-rendered night time cityscape that Tony is so famous for but you can’t win em’ all.

Burton fine stripe blue and white shirt

By Isabelle on August 7th, 2007

BurtonshirtBurton’s blue and white fine stripe shirt exudes summer but will also last you into the winter months, looking sharp teamed with a rust-coloured v-neck knit and cords for a total academia/professor type look.

For now roll up the sleeves and wear it with tailored semi-casual shorts and white canvas pumps for a smart office look that will set you apart from the cargo be-shorted crowd. The shirt is an entirely reasonable £25 and made from
100% cotton, ensuring no sweaty situations.

Lucia & Daisuke skull t-shirt

By admin on August 6th, 2007

Skull_tee
I pretty much wet myself when I saw this Lucia & Daisuke skull t-shirt (£49) on Oki-Ni. Part of the "art hero" range, a collection of limited edition clothing, this tee features an awesome print of Mexican skulls with graffiti-style patterning, all printed in gold foil.

If that doesn’t float your boat then maybe this similar looking crown t-shirt, also £49, might be to your taste. Again, the print is in large scale gold foil, although there are no skulls in this design. Which is always a shame. Quite frankly I think that all garments should have at least one golden skull printed on them somewhere.

Two tone “Baron John” shirt from Asos

By Isabelle on July 31st, 2007

Baronjohn
A good few years ago there was a glut of coloured shirts with white collars and cuffs, that I dubbed Baron John shirts after the shop which seemed the most keen to flog them. Five or so years later and Asos have got a rather more fashion-forward version on their website and it’s reduced to £11.
Featuring an ever so of-the-moment cutaway collar and slim cuffs it’s an absolute bargain. I also like the subtle dove grey, much less garish than the city boy blue or pink that was on Baron John shirts of yore and it offsets the bright white perfectly.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah design charity t-shirt for Yellow Bird Project

By admin on July 26th, 2007

Cyhsy_2
US indie band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah have recently designed this awesome t-shirt for the Yellow Bird Project, a non-profit organisation that donates the proceeds from its artist-designed t-shirt sales to charity. Which particular charity depends on the one that the artist that designed the shirt has chosen. It’s both a novel and noble concept but, most importantly of course, also allows you to support some of your favourite bands by wearing their awesome clothing.

As well as CYHSY who have played the Benicassim, Latitude and T in the Park festivals this year, Pagan-rockers Wolf Mother and acoustic guitarist King Creosote have also designed some great tees that are available on the site. All are $25 and, remember, it’s for a good cause, which is always a good excuse to splash out on a new garment.

Lolcats iz on ur t-shirt makin’ u look kewl

By ShinyMedia on July 25th, 2007

It’s teh kraze sweepin’ ur internets – Lolcats. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re probably not a nerd. Congratulations on that. You are, however, missing out on a whole world of LOLs, ROFLs and LMAOs (go here to become an addict).

Those in the know will appreciate the pictured t-shirt, which means you’re not restricted to displaying your love for lolcats on your Facebook profile. Yep, now you can proudly display the fact that you spend too much time on the internet while outdoors (you remember outdoors, right?). And the good news is they come from the States, so they are priced reasonably (excluding delivery, natch).

Dizzee Rascal at T4′s beach party wearing John Gotti tee

By Isabelle on July 23rd, 2007

Dizzee
Dizzee Rascal is obviously pleased to see us, but what I’m interested in is his t-shirt. The airbrush t-shirt is so Old School which incidentally is the name of his latest single (see what I did there?). If you fancy a similar tee to Dizzee’s then you can get your mitts on one for $60 US dollars, it’s a slightly older image of the man known as the ‘Telfon Don’ for authorities efforts to have him jailed but still has that spraytastic airbrush style.

I would recommend wearing it tight with a partially unbuttoned shirt on top so that your overall look is smart and clean-cut but you have the face of a dead gangster staring out from your chest. Nice. See after the jump for the Gotti t-shirt in all its airbrushed glory.

Uniqlo menswear sale – gibberish t-shirts a go-go

By ShinyMedia on July 20th, 2007

Nonsensenonsensenonsense

Sales are great. Sales at places which are already pretty damn cheap are even better. So the Uniqlo sale is the betterest sale going, pretty much. I’ve always looked at Uniqlo as a poor man’s Gap – but in a good way, because I’m a pretty poor man myself. These days their lines are a lot more colourful, thanks perhaps to the creative types they’ve employed to liven things up, as we reported last month. When I was in there last night I found a lot more stuff I’d consider buying than the last time I was in Gap.

I picked up a polo shirt and a t-shirt for a grand total of £15, and you can’t say fairer than that. Unless they fall apart within a week, in which case I’ll do another post warning you off the place. I went for plain designs, but if you’re fond of adorning your torso with utter gibberish, they do a nice line in nonsense slogans as well (see picture of t-shirt with nonsense on it, right).
