The T Shirt




As much as there are times when a the best, even the only thing a man can wear is a suit. There are other times when the best thing to wear is a t-shirt.

When these times come, as they often do with summer, the two best to turn to are (obviously) James Dean and Marlon Brando. Note about Brando and Dean - their t-shirts are solid, or, in this rare Dean moment, have a small logo. Also note, when they wear them, they are lounging or moving, not doing business. Or wearing a suit jacket.

The t-shirts are also not emblazoned with a humorous, pithy slogan, which, while fitting for a college t-shirt, is far too loud for a man. If one must indulge (and is young enough) I highly recommend picking a favorite quote from literature or film and having it affixed to a t-shirt. Not terribly difficult or expensive, but, at least, unique.
