Simply Fab: KStreet Tees

FabSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Like my ongoing quest for the perfect jean, I am always on the look out for the perfect tees to go with my (fictional) perfect jeans. I think I may have found some that are near-perfect.

KStreet NYC seeks to find the perfect fit with their sizing that runs by bra size. Founder Kari Weiner measures her tees according to chest, waist and hip measurements. The pima cotton tees come in black, white and heather grey and are sized like bras, running from 30 A/B to 38 D/DD. I am kinda loving the Basic S/S Crew Neck ($65). But the tees come in four different styles and each style comes in eleven different sizes so you're bound to find your perfect tee, too. Then all you need is some standout jewelry and you're ready to shine.

FabSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:00:22 -0700

Gap will be unveiling a limited edition artist t-shirt collection set to launch in select stores and online May 15th. In celebration of the 2008 Whitney Biennial, Gap has joined forces with top contemporary artists in producing limited edition artist tees. Some artists include Chuck Close, Jeff Koons, Marilyn Minter, and Kiki Smith with t-shirt designs ranging from political messages to colorful abstract confections. I especially like the bright burst on the Glenn Ligon tee. The classically Gap ad campaign was shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin - Fab, as usual. Something to look forward to!

Trend Alert: Your Favorite White Tee

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:00:22 -0700

How do I love thee favorite white tee? We all have them, we all want them and apparently it's warm enough in LA that the starlets are wearing them with vigor. We love a white dress and a white tee has a similar effect - the feeling of freshness and comfort. Wearing your favorite white tee with jeans is a given, I say mix it up with a full skirt or easy breezy trousers. The possibilities are endless, that's what makes it oh so lovable.

Trash & Luxury Women's Sky Vogue Tee: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Call me crazy, but I'm digging Ashley Tisdale's whole outfit here. You all had mixed feelings about light-wash jeans but have warmed up to the notion of gladiator sandals. People change, trends come and go. So do tees of the moment.

Meet the newest overpriced tee to hit Hollywood, this Trash & Luxury Women's Sky Vogue Tee ($48)‚ Nicky Hilton is also a fan. I'm a sucker for anything that says vogue on it, and the watercolor design is colorful and cool. It also looks very comfy. Are you convinced?

Trend Alert: Fancy Tees

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 07:00:22 -0800

You know those days. Those days you just feel like throwing on a comfy tee, your favorite jeans and tried and true jewelry. That day is Sunday for me. But these days, Sundays can be a little more fanciful thanks to fancy tees. The Olsens have proven a Hanes V-neck can support a high fashion look, but a silk tee, a cool tee or a slightly ruched tee can do that too. It's fancy tee time.

Trend Alert: Message Tees

Say it out loud without saying a word with a message tee. If you want a casual look that isn't boring, there is a plethora of cool tee shirt options. Whether paying homage to a fashion icon, sending a sassy message or representing your favorite band, tees are hot. I say pair one with some cork heels and a white handbag to avoid looking too shabby. Rock on.

Simply Fab: American Apparel Unisex Thermochromatic T-Shirt

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Some tees are plain, others are not. This American Apparel Unisex Thermochromatic Sheer Jersey T-Shirt ($34), is a far cry from plain Jane. Through the magical world of science, this tee will change different colors according to your body temperature. How fun!

The semisheer fabric is great for the warm weather and the price is nice; I think I'll take two. Didn't I tell you hypercolor is back?

Designer Spotlight: Ruby Republic

FabSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:00:22 -0700

What does Ruby Republic love? Easy to tell - she wears it on her sleeve. Accordions, kisses, Bora Bora, love . . .

This brand specializes in screen tees that are far from obnoxiously cutesy. The message is girlie but the colors are serious. Quite a striking combination. If Ruby's likes match up with yours, get yourself a tee for $24 a pop. Shirts aren't the company's only talent; it also makes jeans, swimwear, and accessories like belts, bags, necklaces, and hair ties. These are just some of Ruby Republic's favorite things.
