    First hint of sunshine they start to pop out . It's freezing,but regardless the sun is shining so I must wear a T.Shirt.
    Another few days the shorts will appear.Are these people extra warm blooded or do they just grin and bear it for the sake of the T.Shirt?

    I wear a t-shirt every day of the week, summer to winter. You need to HTFU.

    But I guess you mean people who wear t-shirts with no jackets, tops etc. You need to Clarify TFU.

    Totally acceptable if girls do it... In fact, I'd encourage it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,443 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    I'm wearing one now. Under a shirt. Under a hoodie. With the heating on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,887 ✭✭✭traprunner


    What about us that wear t-shirts and no jacket/hoodie/whatever even when it's minus degrees?....I feel ostracised :(

    I love going outside in the cold with just a t-shirt. It's refreshing

    Even in the winter I do it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,106 ✭✭✭Tom Cruises Left Nut

    If you’re wearing a t-shirt in your late 20’s or later and it isn’t being used as a garment for exercise then you might want to consider getting some sartorial advice. When you see a man in his late 20’s/30’s wearing a t-shirt with a band name on it – think Metallica, AC/DC and the like – then you have to feel sorry for them. However nothing is as bad as the sight of a man of that age wearing a t-shirt with a slogan or phrase on it. It’s almost like they are using the t-shirt in place of having a personality.

    I was back in Ireland a number of weeks ago to vote in the general election. I was taking a walk through town on the Saturday when I spotted a guy of about my own vintage wearing a t-shirt that said, “If found then please return to the pub”. This t-shirt was being used to house an enormous bloated stomach. His bloodshot and glassy eyes, terrible complexion, oversized red nose all showed that he already spent far more time in the pub than was healthy for him. I couldn’t help but think that the t-shirt was a silent cry for help.

    Are you entitled to vote given you live and work abroad?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,692 ✭✭✭Yeah_Right


    I'm in my late 30s and I love Metalica and AC/DC. And t-shirts. And hoodies, board shorts and flip flops. Do I need sartorial help?

    Baseball caps as well.

    Freezing? It's lovely out!
    You need to toughen the fúck up OP. Get that anorak off you, you're not up Everest ffs!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,173 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Saw a guy cycling home from work in cargo shorts and a cotton T-shirt yesterday. I know it was sunny, but he must have been freezing the bollix off himself.

    It's warm in the sunshine, but a bit of a breeze or shadow and it's still single digits.

    I wear t-shirts (though not any with slogans) and I'm mid-30s.

    That said, I'm well aware that my wardrobe won't be featuring on any catwalk any time soon. I'm ok with that.

    Comfort of wear and speed of ironing is the name of the game.

    I walked into this fancy joint for a T-shirt one day, Neiman Marcus I think you call it. Seen this nice one with palm trees and a sunset on it, no price tag on it. So I thinks to myself, must be part of a three for a tenner deal or something. So I goes up to the clerk and I ask what other ones can I get to go along with this one. He says, 'well Sir, this one is $800, would you like the others to be in the same price range?'


    800 fcuking dollars!!

    If I win the lotto I'm buying it for Aongus.

    Worse one for me is the pricks who wear Tapout or UFC t-shirts over a beer belly or a few little disco muscles, instantly they're put into my 'theres an arsehole' folder.

    F*cking hell:

    They must find about 10,000 gullible idiots a year to buy their stuff and be absolutely breaking their holes laughing at the amount of money they have coming in while they pay some kids in a sweatshop $2 apiece for their clothes.

    The other unbelievable thing about the above product is that two of the photos of it show a model wearing it underneath another T-Shirt. €750 for a t-shirt to wear under something else.

    I'm in the wrong game.

    I always wear a t-shirt. You can wear two jackets in winter and be grand.

    For the meagre sum of €6,000 you can buy the entire outfit and be completely indistinguishable from the hipsters who bought theirs in the SVP.

    I'd love to actually hear from anyone who can justify buying these. I don't mind the logic of the people selling this stuff, everyone loves the smell of their own farts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 818 ✭✭✭Triangla


    Worst part is the t shirt is manky. I wouldn't wear it under a jumper in case I got knocked down and someone in the ambulance got to see it.

    But the Fashion ****-talk is free

    "About Saint Laurent:
    Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury pret-a-porter in a 1966 collection called "Rive Gauche," synonymous with youth and freedom."
