The t-shirt layer

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie

It's winter. In winter, one wears lots of sweaters. How does one avoid itchiness? One wears a t-shirt under their sweater. One also benefits from the added warmth of the t-shirt layer.

This t-shirt layer is an important layer. What if you find yourself doing some heavy lifting and have to remove your sweater? You don't want to be in that pit stained Calvin Klein undershirt your ex left at your house six years ago. Awkward.

No. The t-shirt layer is a perfect excuse for secret snarkege. Wearing a funny t-shirt under your sweater is akin to wearing your A-game underwear when you don't have a date. It's just a little something special. It doesn't matter if no one sees it. It enriches your experience of the day--and isn't that what style is all about?

Where oh where should you buy snarky t-shirts? My pick is palmercash.com. They do a really good job of sorting out the best items from a whole bunch of companies, including No Star, Vintage Vantage, and one called Crooked Monkey (of which I've never heard, but they have an anti-standing in lines t-shirt I rather like except for that the way they phrased it, "I don't do lines", sounds like a drug reference). Their tees come quickly and their sizes are not weird. Bonus.
