White Tees are PlaYed


XL to XXXXXXXL, and all that mess between are all played. I understand how the originator of the trend started it because it allowed young kids an opportunity to express themselves through their wardrobes without implying any gang affiliations. However the "trend" "phenomena" has gone too far. There is no originality anymore. Everyone has stuffed themselves into this mundane cliche of a dress code. Pro Club is to blame, if you ask me. White tees, blue jeans, brands of choice, rocawear, seanjohn, enyce, akademiks, etc, and air force 1's. This particular outfit last 4 seasons 365 days a year. Any suburban mall is guilty of possesing at least 5 of these an hour on average with a slight variation. One guy may wear a cap, the other a dew rag, another has corn rows, and the other has a fake "jesus piece" from the mall mobile silver cart, lol. This style is killing my eye sight. Knowing how the inner city youth are truely the trend setters of todays fashions, I wonder what trends they are looking towards when it comes to dressing themselves on the daily basis. Take a chance to be different, dare to be set apart, you will find that you leave much more of an impression on others.

White tees are a staple design and fashion item. They are plain and simple and very comfortable to wear. You can easily throw a jacket over the white tee and it would be very fashionable. I agree that it should not be worn on a daily basis, but hey if it works don't change anything.

I think what Mr. F.A.C.T was getting at was the thoughtlessness behind the white tee. Sure it's a staple of any wardrobe. It's a clean aesthetic and versatile. But, XXXXXL down to the knees? C'mon now. You're better than that.
