T-shirts call for simple graphics, not intricate ones. This is your chance to get all Rothko. Note the shorter sleeves and how the tee hits just barely below the waist. That's how a good tee fits.
Saturdays NYC - $40
Old-School Stripes
Most striped tees have a distinct East Coast nautical vibe—you know, the sailor thing—but this burnt orange is pure Cali.
Levi's Vintage Clothing $95
The '70s Ringer Tee
A perfectly simple design that will never die. Big color and just the right amount of Dazed and Confused.
American Apparel $16
The Suit-Jacket Tee
A sport coat or suit works best with a designer tee, like this fashionably slouchy one.
T by Alexander Wang $102
The Perfect V-Neck
A good V hits well below your Adam's apple and well above that strapping chest of yours.
Alternative $80
The Vintage Rock 'n' Roller
A replica of a promo shirt for Jamaican DJ Mikey Dread's radio show; once worn by Joe Strummer.

The Pocket Tee
Not just any purple: The dye is rich and inky, and the tee will break in uniquely, like good denim.
Ralph Lauren Black Label Denim $78
The Surfer Tee
Even if you're a landlocked midwesterner, it's your birthright as an American to channel vibey West Coast surfer energy via a T-shirt.
