Graphic T-Shirts: The Science

The Good:

This House of Holland-esque Zara tee


The Bad:

This...thing.



While the first shirt is modern and draws attention to the entire ensemble, the second is washed out to look "Vintage", and draws attention to the chest area only. The first shirt also makes more of a point as to who the wearer is, and why they would choose it, whereas, a shirt that sports the corporate logo of a breakfast cereal makes no point whatsoever. In fact, I don't trust anyone who would go as far as to say they enjoyed Lucky Charms as a child. They probably only ate the marshmallows. Posers!

Notice the cuts on the shirts as well, the first is a little bit on the slouchy side, a tad oversized, this shape is going to be far more chic than your average crew cut tee shirt, and also adds character.
