The Plain Truth

Once upon a time I wasn't a massive fan of the plain t-shirt, singlet or plain anything come to think of it. It needed a logo, a pattern, a print or even a food stain would have been sufficient.

I've now become quite fond of the plain white, blue, green, lilac, yellow tshirt. Whether in v-neck or crew, they can add the right splash of colour without the distraction of a gaudy print on the front.

Checklist:

• Good fit (no sloppy numbers unless you like electro clash music and are 16)
• Quality cotton
  
• Cheap and cheerful. (no need to blow $100 on a tshirt)
• Try layering different colours
  

American Apparel's range of plain get up is great. They're fast becoming a global brand who provide simple causal and athletic clothing for men and women that now ship to most countries around the world. I prefer the cut of their V Necks which you can find here.
