If you saw last week's episode of "Glee," Lea Michele's character Rachel Berry was wearing the cutest and most simple sailor tee. What I have been seeing a lot on sites and in stores like Karmaloop.com, Hottopic.com, and even Wal-Mart are graphic imprinted shirts. They have style, class, and a fun edge depending on which ones you get.
The tuxedo shirt is a classic example of shirts doubling as rebellious prom outfits and probably the first imprinted graphic tees around.

If you are feeling nautical, try a sailor shirt, or if you want to show your love for the beach, find a cute bikini shirt like hers. But not like the ones you see tourists wearing, who get conned into thinking it's funny. Like these poor innocent souls below.
From heroes to villains you can be good or bad. Secretly I'm a Mutant Ninja Turtle. Preferably Donatello.

Now the shirts for guys range from trendy suspenders, haute ties, or handsome blouses. I bought one for my hubby from Forever 21 for Christmas. The men's section of course!
Now the ladies shirts always have a never ending variety as you can see. I haven't found the perfect one for myself just yet but I am very tempted to buy the one in the middle from Karmaloop.com but I am waiting for that day when my graphic imprinted tee shouts "I'm HOTT, you have to buy me, mTs." Well it will be along the lines of that anyways.


So would you buy a graphic imprinted tee or two? I know I would!

no. not my thing.
i do think the shirt she was wearing from Glee was adorable.
but the rest of these just remind me of what they were selling in urban outfitters four or five years ago.
There are very few exceptions in my book, like that Ninja Turtles one. That wins.
the last 3 are adorable.
yeah! most of these are really cute.
i have a couple and i'm looking for more! :D i love them. it's like (sometimes) an accessory that you don't need to put on in 30˚C weather...like the scarf print.
I think they're really tacky.
I thought that trend was months ago.
Those definitely are not my thing but I do think some of them look cute on other people.
I think they are tacky.
@Eyes_Herself@xanga - I agree.
I think the trompe-l'oeil t-shirt has a tendency to become tacky. However, if they're done like the last three examples you gave, they would be more trendy than tacky.
some are not bad :)
I'd get the last three. The others not so much.
I own a few Marvel imprinted graphic tee's, but I'm not really into them. I only like mine because I had them way before the trend started. They all look a little tacky imo
They're so stupid. I hate them >.> it just looks so tacky ! I must admit though, that the last three [not so much the middle one] don't look that bad.
Otherwise, noo.
some are OK, I'd only wear them around the house or to sleep in though.. I love these for my son though.
@Eyes_Herself@xanga - lol i saw that one teh first of three at walmart for 7$ i lmost bought it ha ha
where is that white tee with the lace from??? seriously i want it, now. hehe
i think they are kind of cute. i like the sailor shirt. :D
xo
I would absolutely get that ninja turtle one.
....anyone know where I can get one?
i like the last 3 as well.
I like some that i've seen... Not sure if I would actually buy them though.
only some of them are cool. the ones you dont see every day
Haha they are tacky, but they're ironic and fun. I have a tux one.
How about tacky?
