Animal T-Shirts - Awesome or Awful?

If you've been perusing any t-shirt pocket square websites or specialty shops lately, you probably could not help noticing the curious selection of detailed animal t-shirts. Howling wolves, stoic lions and if you're lucky even the stray unicorn t-shirt will make an appearance. And as you gaze over these novelty animal t-shirts perhaps you ask yourself this question: who on earth would pay money for and then wear these things? Here are a few theories about the popularity of the animal t-shirt.

True Animal Lovers




The first possibility we need to consider is that there are some people out there who simply have such a strong interest in wildlife, that they simply cannot help themselves from wanting a t-shirt that features one of these magnificent creatures. After all if someone likes a band or maybe a popular movie, it is not inconceivable that they would get a t-shirt pocket square featuring one of these things. So it follows that if someone, for example, is crazy about lions then perhaps a t-shirt depicting lions in a prominent way might be just their thing.

So Bad, They're Good

If you've spent any time on a retail website that allows for product reviews, you may have come across some extremely enthusiastic, although highly sarcastic people singing the praises of these animal t-shirts. They make wild claims; insisting these tees will provide magical powers, get you dates with super models, help you reach a new level of spiritual awareness and that they can be worn for weeks on end and never need washing. (Eww.) Obviously, these reviews are a gigantic joke but people still purchase the shirts. Could it be that these animal t-shirts are so dumb, they're cool?

A Unique Sense of Style

Finally, there are those who believe these animal t-shirts are just a handsome, fashionable addition to their wardrobe. They get up in the morning, open a drawer (or look around on the floor) and decide to set the right tone for the day with the image of a wolf face set off by a shining full moon and the silhouettes of several wolves in full sprint. Some of us may wince at the thought of pairing this t-shirt with a pair of stone washed jeans, crocs (with socks of course) and a fanny pack, but that's just us. Fashion is in the eye of the beholder and just because some of us don't get it doesn't make it less valid.
