Behavior: Novelty T-Shirts

The way we dress tells people, and men in the case of this book, an enormous amount about ourselves. Our clothes declare us joyful, curious, sensitive, happy, feminine, creative, assured or, on the other hand, lacking in imagination, insecure, timid, boring or slobs. Your clothes are extensions of your personality. — April Masini

The above is a quote from my book, Think & Date Like A Man. Clothes are extremely important when it comes to relationships because they telescope who we are before we speak.

Why do they exist?

Wearing a novelty T-shirt is broadcasting to the world just as much as wearing a pinstripe suit or a juicy seat suit. Many people like to send out messages about who they are with their clothing, and as long as they do, novelty-t shirts or other clothing associated with celebrities, moods or wealth will exist.

Britney’s “I’m a Virgin, but this is an old shirt,” is anything but light-hearted. She’s wearing it to announce to the world that she’s not her old self any more and that everyone should expect everything and anything from her. She’s clearly ready to explore sexuality and her t shirt is telling the world of her intent.

I’m looking for any expert able to comment on the sociological ramifications, mentality of, and reasoning behind someone actually buying and wearing a cotton-poly blend that has an offensive image on it.

Nobody who wears a tee shirt that you think is offensive, actually thinks that the shirt they’re wearing is offensive. They think it’s expressive of some facet of themselves that they desperately want people to know about. It’s the opposite of people who try to keep a low profile. Everything we wear — from our make up to our hairstyle to our clothing tells the world who we are. If for that day.
