Health Care tee, on sale for $4.99 at Urban Outfitters. Ok, so this shirt isn’t expensive.  It is downright cheap by most standards.  However, the fail here is so great that I cannot let this slide.  The founder and owner of Urban Outfitters, Richard Hayne, is a well-known conservative.  While his personal opinion on healthcare is unknown, he supported the candidacy of Rick Santorum.  You know Rick, he is the guy who said that homosexuals do not have a right to privacy, amongst other things.  You know, the guy who has an anal sex biproduct named after him in memorial of these statements.  Well he has a lot to say on the matter of healthcare.  His voting record also shows he doesn’t like healthcare reform. So what is a company like Urban Outfitters doing selling a shirt supporting healthcare reform?  Oh yeah, capitalism…

Slashed army shirt by Balmain, $1,625.00 at Netaporter. Submitted by Joanna.  Balmain is getting a lot of shit for this top in the blog world.  As it should.  This is the sort of thing that just makes me ask HOW?  How was this shirt  designed by  Decarin (or more likely, one of his assistants). How was it OK’d by the owners of the historical couture brand and sent down the runway.  How was it was priced this high.  How did buyers from Netaporter and other retailers said, “yes, this is a good idea, let’s order it.”  How will any client look at this price and pay that for it.  This is no fantasy and exclusivity.  This is a fucking cotton shirt with rips.  Those rips look like a gasping face. It probably saw its price tag. View high resolution

Halter top by Maison Martin Margiela Line 6, $65.00 at Anastasia Boutique. Line 6 is supposed to be Margiela’s least conceptual and most comfortable line.  However, I am struggling to see how this is going to be comfortable.  It would be impossible to wear this by itself, you may as well go topless.  Then you are faced with figuring out undershirts and what looks good and what doesn’t because this can very easily look sloppy.  I get that Margiela is all about taking clothing to the limits, but you gotta be able to wear it too. Just want to say I am so sorry for ignoring the blog.  My job is kinda hectic, I will manage my time better, I promise.

Graphic shirt by Insight, on sale for $24.00 at 80’s Purple. Now here is something I wish was banned in the USA.  Also, your tits look fake, bro.

Raffia bra top by Blouson Noir, $1,778.26 at Brown’s Fashion. This kinda reminds me of craft day at sleep away camp, and  I hated sleep away camp.  But enough about my childhood trauma, this is a bra made of raffia.  Brown’s cleverly suggests that this top can be worn inside out, giving you two looks for your 2k.  Because we can all imagine how comfortable dried palm leaves would feel up against our nipples.

Sheer panel shirt by Stolen Girlfriends Club, $142.00 at I Don’t Like Mondays. Your chest is not a painting, I don’t know why you would need to show it off as one.  I guess this has potential to be interesting if the styling was on point, but my mind is blank as to what could work.  The store’s choice of ironic American flag bikini doesn’t work.

Tuxedo tee by Religion, $120.00 at Ssense. So, if a guy who wears a tuxedo shirts are tools, what does that make the guy in this shirt?  A rich tool.

Grey paneled shirt by Romain Kremer, on sale for $159.25 at Seven New York. Is it just me, or does his pec totally look like an eye crying a bright, chiffon tear?  Next i-D cover anyone? View high resolution

T shirt by Evil Twin, $65.52 at Asos. Naked under leather… What does that even mean?  You wear leather clothes without anything underneath?  I hope that doesn’t chafe you.  It seems like they just picked the most provocative and buzz-y fashion words for right now, haphazardly formed them into a sentence, and put them on a shirt hoping people would bite.  Then they tore it up, because that is also cool.

Silicone shoulder tee by Seelenkleid, $239.00 at Pixie Market. I any other color combination, this could be a cool idea.  However, in white, it is giving off a Sasha Grey vibe - if you know what i mean.
