I don’t like graphic tees, for several reasons. I don’t like the feeling of printed fabric kn my skin. I also swear, no matter how many times someone claims “we looked everywhere and are proud to say we found t-shirts that actually feel good!” The shirts never have as good of a material or cut as the generic ass solid color t-shirts I get. Seeing the print slowly start to crack and fall off over time makes me sad. I don’t like the visual stimulation of a bunch of text or graphics or busy patterns.

Finally, having something, especially words, on my shirtt feels like I’m trying to start a conversation with the world. For a lot of people, t-shirts are a way to signal their interest and that they WANT random strangers to come up and talk to them about it. It allows people to form a community. And I absolutely do not want that. I don’t care if we listen to the same band: I don’t want to stop and chat with some random stranger as I’m walking around.

I can’t stand hoodies. The weight on the neck is weird. I have long hair that makes hoods a pain. I don’t even like pullovers- I prefer to have something that zips or buttons or is just open in the front.

I hate having my forearms covered. Always rock a rolled up sleeve when I have to wear buttoned shirts.
