This is why I’ve never really understood branded clothing. I won’t wear it, because it’s just an advertisement. Genuinely don’t understand how society fell so hard for that one. I get luxury brand show off for shallow reasons, but shit- and mid-tier brands?

    So what do you wear? I want to reduce the amount of ads I wear, but plain tshirts don't look so good with my extra belly weight. I need something on the shirt. But what? And I commonly just wear shorts, so it can't look remotely formal.

    Layers, patterns, gradients, and screen printed art, mostly.

    Lots of screen printed art. I’m a big fan of mashup designs where two or more IPs are mixed, like star wars and star trek mixed and represented as chibbi cartoons, basically just someone’s fan art on a t-shirt or sweatshirt, such that you aren’t really advertising any of them as its not immediately clear what’s even on it. Also just art I like. Tons of places to get stuff like that. I also have a lot of shirts with jokes and phrases and the like.

    Layers are good if you live somewhere that isnt too ridiculously hot, plain or gradient base t (or one of the more basic screen printed shirts) under a contrasting over-shirt is good. Really opens up the options because basically anything button or zip works, patterns or solid colors, and the extra fabric layer hides a lot of imperfections.

    I do a lot of thrifting, especially when I travel, because the variety tends to span different styles and eras and people buy stuff online that ends up there, but it takes a while to really build up the wardrobe that way.
