So I know that some of the people who regularly contribute artwork here dont actually wear too many graphic tees themselves (FRENDEN *cough*), and I know that some are here more so to contribute tee art than to actually wear the finished process, so will the people who like wearing polos and oxfords more than graphic tees please stand up? Im taking a census... 2009-05-30T21:41:26-04:00 79 2009-05-29T01:49:46-04:00 33741 false false 7984 1822 1 2009-11-08T04:43:40-05:00 1012 I am sitting down. I wear a lot of blank tees/v-necks.

If I wear a polo and it's not summer, I'll throw a graphic tee on underneath as long as the design doesn't show and it matches the polo. Graphic tees for me whether it's from Express or it's DBH or even my own shirts. But the general consensus is I can look good in anything. 33741 Post 2009-05-30T11:08:16-04:00 979671 5248 2009-05-30T11:08:16-04:00 I wear graphic tees any chance I get, can't at work, but when I get home the shorts and graphic tees come out.
