<p>Whatever happened to short-sleeve sweatshirts?</p>
<p>Gotta admire those people at North Face for putting their logo on the front AND back of their jackets. That way, when a college student passes out drunk, you can tell if he’s fashionable whether he’s face up OR face down.</p>
<p>Can’t believe girls/young women fall for the skinny jeans and tight tops fads. Can’t they see they are a ploy by clothing manufacturers to ensure they have to buy a new wardrobe every time they gain 5 lbs?</p>
<p>Most disturbing new trend: men wearing t-shirts that have an arrow pointing to their junk, with some trendy caption like “$5 Foot Long” or “Leader” with arrow pointing upwards to their head and “Legend” with arrow pointing downwards.</p>
<p>^^^urrgghhh those t-shirts! Some are so disrespectful. My son in the military came home last year with a shirt that looks like the Mountain Dew logo but it said “Mount and Do Me”. My husband took one look at it and told him to take it off before I saw it. I walked into the living room and he was turning it inside out, but it was too late. When he put it in the laundry, it never came out and nothing was ever said about it again :-p</p>
<p>Also don’t get the deal with some sports uniforms. Last night I was watching Arizona State play DePaul in women’s basketball. DePaul wore darkish blue uniforms with the numbers in black, and ASU wore yellow uniforms with white numbers Yeah, the numbers had contrasting piping around the numbers, but it was thin piping, and on TV you couldn’t tell the shirts even had numbers, much less what the numbers were. Don’t the uniform designers know about the concept of “contrast”?</p>
<p>Reminds me of when Purdue and Georgia Tech wear pale gold football jerseys and the other team wears white…</p>
<p>I like the thin tshirts- they are really comfortable.</p>

<p>ROFL- where did you see those? Our area must not be so fashion forward.;)</p>
<p>I layer the tissue tshirts I usually wear bratop tank underneath that is long enough to show at the bottom of the top tee or I wear two tissue tees on top of a sports bra.
it is true that those don’t hide anything, & you have to check in a back mirror!</p>
<p>31 years ago, my twin brothers’ dorm unit tshirt was “F___ it’s a better idea,” a play on a Ford commercial that was popular at that time. One of my brothers was dumb enough to wear it to chem class & was kicked out. Kids never change!</p>
<p>My latest clothing rant is age related. I want decent clothes for menopausal 50-somethings. I don’t want to wear old lady clothes … but I can’t wear short, tight shirts, either. Give me a nice top that hits low-hip & doesn’t cling (but isn’t baggy). I would pay decent money!!</p>
<p>I like the tissue tshirts cause they don’t get as stretched out as other long sleeve tshirts.</p>
<p>Speaking of tasteless tees- my daughter attended a high school with a bulldog mascot.
She had a couple different tshirts that were purple with dog motifs- but senior yr I noticed she had one that said giving the dog a bone since '05
:rolleyes:
HOwever, I don’t think she has ever worn it.</p>
<p>kelsmom – Check out Coldwater Creek. They have very nice things for <em>women</em>…not girls. They have a website, a catalog, and frequent sales. </p>
<p>I confess I was glad to see the waistbands on jeans start to rise this year. Trying to fit this middle-aged body into something with a two inch zipper was not a pretty sight! At least Lands End has continued to remember that not all their clients are age 16 and size 00. </p>
<p>As for tees, please make the whole ‘Hello Kitty’ thing stop! No one over the age of 12 should wear a big white kitten face on their chest. Besides, everyone knows Minnie Mouse is far classier!</p>
<p>I bought a cute tissue paper tshirt for a relative. Now am I obligated to buy the undershirt too? Here’s hoping she has enough of those already.</p>
<p>(Yes, it’s all about buying more stuff. I Just Say NO and look like a idunnoknowwhat.)</p>
<p>Short sleeves sweatshirts make me think of Jeff Foxworthy- not really the look I am going for- I don’t wear sweatshirts- thats what H wears to work- but I will wear hoodies if I am camping.</p>
<p>I don’t think you have to buy a whole wardrobe for someone- I buy the shirts at Jcrew inbetween seasons and they go to about 60% off.</p>
<p>Did you see the article that said when we buy something that doesn’t really go with anything else that we have, then we buy more stuff so it will?</p>
<p>Good thing I try & do most of shopping on line- so I am not diverted by a rounder that proclaims 40% off & then I try and buy something so my shopping trip isn’t wasted.
Anything- just to have accomplished something.
:rolleyes:</p>
I think the same thing when I see people wearing things with “Hollister” plastered in large letters all over it. </p>
<p>Lacking expertise in the sartorial area I was wondering why anyone would knowingly be advertising the town of Hollister, Ca. - not exactly the most desirable area of California - kind of like having ‘Fresno’ or ‘Bakersfield’ plastered all over a shirt. My kids educated me and told me it had nothing to do with the town but was just a brand name. They had no good explanation for why anyone would choose to try to impress someone by buying something with the brand name so prominently displayed on it (they don’t wear the Hollister stuff).</p>
<p>Okay, off topic, but I have to ask … Fresno. What do you know about it? I have a friend I have known for 50 years. She moved to CA years ago, and I have only kept up with her through snail mail ever since. She has lived in Fresno since 1975. She was diagnosed with MS in her 30’s, her husband died of a brain tumor in his 40’s, she had skin cancer in her 40’s, her 20-something son is in remission from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. What the heck is in the air/soil/water in Fresno!!!</p>
<p>I’m sorry you’re not a fan. That’s pretty much all I wear Whether it’s t-shirts, polos, fleece, shorts, pants, socks, even khaki pants. If it’s not Nike, adidas, or Under Armour I’m probably not going to wear it…</p>
