what do you guys think of simple horizontal striped t-shirts?

Check out the ones Alternative Apparel has...

the thickness of the stripes makes a huge difference. IMHO the thinner the stripes, the more femme it looks. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I'm just saying it's something to take into consideration.

Actually, thick black/gray stripes is one of my fav patterns. I have it in tshirt, sweater and hoodie

The Alternative Apparel stripes are a bit thicker than I prefer. American Apparel's version has the perfect stripe width but I've never heard good things about them. And I agree you dont want the stripes *too thin* either.

i have this nice purple grey green shirt from *gasp* BDG that i actually like alot
i also have a jcrew white/navy one that i plan on wearing a bunch this summer

Yohji Yamamoto did an interesting take on the horizontal striped tee this season (in s/s, l/s, and henley versions), where the stripes are kinda spliced in half and then lined up asymmetrically...they looked good on the rack but after trying them on unfortunately the effect was kinda awkward. maybe someone else can look good in them.

^^ Paul Smith did a similar effect in his mainline polos this S/S and I also thought the end result awkward and very unflattering

yeah that's what i thought too. looked interesting by itself; when worn, not so much.

I prefer a simple t-shirt with horizontal stripes than a t-shirt with a large logo or brand name.

i agree they look dope in flics and on the rack, but hard to wear sometimes, I have a visvim light sweater in white with thin black stripes, and right away i was told i should be eating a bagguette. maybe thats not bad tho www.hyrcollective.com

Why? I've got a basic white and grey striped V-necked tee from AA that is great.

I wanted the black and grey long sleeve but the $520 price tag stopped me before I could try it on.

$520?! That's robbery...they are a little over 20,000 yen in Japan.

How much dollars would that be?

 

[Get Smart]

isnt that just under $200 by today's currency?

 

[kronik]

20 000 Japanese yen = 196.62 U.S. dollars

heh.

Where'd you see that price jet, so I know to never go there?
