itt "FUN SHIRTS"

idgi either

i can see it being of momentary interest when, say, a guy unbuttons his jacket and i see "hey! a stripe!" but my interest would quickly give way to confusion, then anger

then violence

the thing is it's really really nice oxford cloth, the cut looks good

i just couldn't get my head entirely around the stripe

not sure it's quite as bad as you're all making it out to be

like the og 'fun shirts' itt are oxford cloth too, that stripe is just half steppin

the stripe shirt also just looks like a very boxy cut

i like a foxy boxy cut

yeah v boxy. maybe a bit miserly on the collar too #oxford #shirt

the point of the stripe is to make us all uncomfortable

it takes a very bold asshole to buy & wear it

hmmmm well i have the asshole part down

the boldness of far too much asshole flesh

this is fun

so fun

my brother discouraged me from buying a shirt that was not dissimilar to that one yesterday, telling me that it was "too young" for me and that i "can't go backwards."

treeships don't have a reverse gear

never too old / young

i would say it is possible to be too old for kitsch (not that it's a great look for the young either), but the best fun shirts are p tasteful imo. like, think of funky old man sweaters

i don't really find that shirt kitschy

i don't either tbh. but it's bold/whimsical enough it wouldn't work with my personal aesthetic, i don't think. i think kitsch can work really well if people are committed to it.

I don't like that shirt

why not?

it's just not quite right

I love the bubblegum colors

i'm with gr80 on this one. there's something almost stifling about the azure background and overall predominance of blue. it doesn't contrast well with or enhance the more fun aspects of the shirt, which kind of looks like a mismatched assortment of tropical scout jamboree badges and resort information centre souvenirs. the adjacent pink and red parts are clashy and the assymmetry of the pattern is detrimental.

i like this one

tlg's is also kind of off in a way that probably only hits me because I spent time in hawaii

i am wearing this shirt right now. that is not a picture of me though, that's a model.

i don't button it all the way to the top though... i don't really like that look.

is uniqlo fun?

not generally (lots of monochromatic clothing) but it can be sometimes

I mean not "fun" in the sense of this thread but nonetheless a p damn amazing clothing retailer
