I'm ready for the boys-wearing-striped-shirts phenomenon to be over

Done.

Now.

I said it.

I was reminded of this while looking at Michael's pictures from his Greek vacation - kudos to Michael and Glenn on 99% of their fashion choices, but seriously - there must be other tops available for purchase. Stop with the f-ing striped shirts. Done.

When I questioned "What did boys wear before those striped shirts?" Alicia was ready with answers. Past annoying trends embraced by too many boys:
  • Those "blue" button up shirts - you know the blue shade I'm talking about
  • Turtleneck cabled sweaters (think J. Crew) - usually in grey heather
I know men weren't topless before 2001 when those sweaters were popular - can we go backwards from there and pick out other annoying shirts?

Marc (yeah I mentioned you) - with your Gap Co. know-how, you should be able to offer some help as Gap helped create/distribute/increase the annoying factor of past trends...

How about the years of a baggy plaid shirt (very wrinkled) worn over a not-so-clean T-shirt with writing on the front?

Laura, darling, striped shirts are hot - whether in the trend or not. Vertical stripes are inherently slimming and accentuate a man's tall, thin torso. There are certain types of clothing that see no trend - they are just timeless choices because of their objective attractiveness on the majority of people. So, unless you're eight-foot-one and 100 pounds, I say, g'on wearing stripes, y'all. Live it and love it.
