Be Half Naked

It’s so much work to coordinate a whole outfit every morning, so why not streamline the dressing process by eliminating one item of clothing, per this “With a shirt like this who needs pants?” shirt. Chanel herself said you should always take one thing off before you leave the house—skip a step and don’t put your pants on in the first place.

Be Prepared

You carry food, water, a flashlight, and an N95 mask in your fanny pack, but do you really know what you’ll do in an emergency situation? Best to spell it out on your chest …

Be Social

Gen Y is wary of old folks trying to “friend” them in their social space, especially if they’re tragically un-hip wannabes. Forget pinging or poking, just show Gen Y that you’re plugged in by wearing these social tees. They’re old media and old school cool.

Be Creative

These write on and wipe off shirts are perfect for non-committal types whose message changes from day to day, or even hour to hour. Wear the fill-in-the-blanks tee under a suit to the office with an “I’m in ur male-dominated environment breaking your stereotypes” message, and leave the bubble shirt blank at the bar and hand out your magic marker for phone numbers!

3. Be Employed

Why pimp Jesus, Guinness, or Tide when you can pimp yourself? Choose from eight slogans for the front like “I Heart Job Offers,” “I’m Ready for My Interview,” and “My Resume Is on the Back of This Shirt,” and then upload your resume to the back. Great way to put your shirt to work.

Ah, so much to say, so little wardrobe changes …
