Tee Shirt Trends for Fall Who among us wouldn't admit to a love affair with our tee shirts? From the time we can remember we've all had that one favorite tee. You know, that shirt that, if clean (and sometimes not), is the first thing we reach for when getting dressed each day. And, why not? It is practical, comfortable, and over the last few years . . . fashionable. The tee shirt has undergone a tremendous change from the days of screen printing some pithy saying on a mass produced, single color, boxy Haynes Beefy Tee. Enter the fashion tee. It is more fitted. It is colorful. And, it has a whole lotta somethin' goin' on! Tee's have featured embellishments like print-over-print, grinded edges, embroidery, foiling, and bling. And in recent seasons, all of the above on the same shirt! The style is called Rock Star Chic. You know what I'm talking about. The guys and gals that have replaced the disco ball as the nightclub's primary light reflector. Fashion tees are here to stay. But just what can we expect from this fashion category as we enter the fall season? And what labels are oh-so-over? Visit our Fall Trends article on the Urban Body website (www.urbanbody.com/mens-fashion-trends/2008/fall) or pick up this month's issue of Tampa Bay Zone Magazine to read a few tips to keep you current and on the forefront of fashion.
