Good news for those of us who like to dress like a loose-cannon archaeologist who just got back from a trek through the African Savannah: the safari look is back. Ok, maybe it never quite left, but with the latest installment of the Indiana Jones movies hitting the big screen, safari fashion is roaring back into full force.


Designers are turning out all kinds of safari-inspired designs, decked out with all the unnecessary pockets, straps, and belt loops for the safari gadgets that you probably won't ever carry. Still, the look is rugged, military and functional -- 3 things that make you feel like a badass who can get through any kind of dangerous, life or death situation. Shouldn't fashion inspire confidence? Plus, we like any style that allows us to successfully incorporate a bull whip.

T-shirts have come a long way from the days of James Dean and his white crewneck. Twenty years ago, t-shirts were what people wore on weekends or at home, but now, designer t-shirts are status symbols. With the right design, the right logo and the right label, you can let people know a lot about you without saying a word.

Take Edun's t-shirt with a Rainier Maria Rilke poem screen printed on it. This t-shirt implies that the wearer is educated enough to recognize the name and the work of the German poet. The wearer of this shirt thinks she's smart, and she wants you to think she is. too.

And my t-shirt? Well, today, I'm wearing a plain black stretch t-shirt that I purchased from the Gap outlet back in 1997. I suppose the slightly tight black shirt suggests I'm urbane, but simple. But, given that the shirt is from 1997, I'm also frugal, even cheap to the point of fault. (Guilty as charged.)

Funny how something so simple can say so much? What does your t-shirt say about you?
