An open letter to... men who wear (still) Ed Hardy and Affliction t-shirts.
I would like to address the trend that inexplicably seems to still be alive and well in 2010. While I commend your decision to spend upwards of $100 dollars on one single item of clothing, I regret to inform you that Ed Hardy stopped being socially acceptable in 2005 when Ashton Kutcher retired his trucker hat. Purchasing a t-shirt with a bedazzled tiger does not make you look fashionable or cool. On the contrary, you wind up looking like a Jersey Shore reject and a giant douchebag. While you may be inclined to believe you are that much closer to fist pumping your way to the top, most women are looking at you and praying that you stay the fuck away. I would like to encourage you to direct your hard earned cash (or your nearly maxed out credit card) to something with a little more class. If you are unable to distinguish what actually does look good, please find your nearest sales associate and/or gay man. They would be perfectly happy to help you out. Additionally, I would like to encourage you to steer clear of the assumption that that skull and crossbones t-shirt pairs well with your True Religions jeans. You can afford expensive clothes - we get it. There is no need to simultaneously put your entire closet on display.
Please kindly consider your wardrobe choices the next time you visit your local department store. The women in this world will thank you.
ed hardy and affliction,
an open letter
