A) T-shirts sold in tourist traps, with cheesy sayings and colorful depictions of local architecture
B) Scruffy-looking UA students schlepping to class in their sweats and flip flops (or ugg boots), hair disheveled and the UA or Juicy logo splashed across their rears.
I hate t-shirts with logos or name brands on them. I just don't wear them. Why should I pay to advertise for some company? It's stupid. They should be paying me if they want me wearing their logos so badly.
And it's not about the label, either. Who cares if you're wearing a DKNY shirt? If you have to show off that you're wearing designer, you're begging for attention. And if you ask me, it's the wrong kind of attention. It's like walking into a crowded room with a megaphone and saying, "Hey, I've got money!"
That doesn't mean I don't ever wear t-shirts, or that I only wear plain-colored ones.
I like to wear t-shirts in different plain colors, yes. But they're not all black or gray. I try to have a whole color palette in my closet, and different variations of every shade. Ann Taylor Loft is a great place to get good quality t-shirts in different colors and sleeve lengths. Some of them are also awesome for layering.
Anthropologie also offers good t's, some with nice designs that don't scream anything like, "This shirt was designed by Ralph Lauren for his Polo Line."
If you're slender and have a walletful of cash to spend, Banana Republic also sells really nice t-shirts in plain colors. They're so soft you won't care if there aren't any logos splashed across them.
Today's moral?
There is such a thing as a classy t-shirt.
And the logo is printed on the inside of it.
