Though the temperature lately has probably got you thinking of wearing the least amount of clothing possible, let me introduce you to the phenomenon that is Threadless. Threadless is a community-centered online apparel store where members of the Threadless community submit t-shirt designs online; the designs are then put to a public vote. A small percentage of submitted designs are selected for printing and sold through an online store. Creators of the winning designs receive a prize of cash and store credit.

The Threadless phenomenon reaches beyond just voting for T-shirt designs. The site also hosts blogs, Threadless TV, and interviews with designers, all the while fostering self-expression and originality from its contributors. Commonly the most successful designs boast interesting conceptualization, attractive colour schemes, and unique illustration styles or techniques - and a cheeky tagline doesn't usually hurt either. This outlet for designers is just another way graphic design is being encompassed in to the everyday, no media being left out. So maybe it's time to upgrade your tuxedo t-shirt afterall..

And no excuses, there really is a shirt design for almost everyone.. Here are a few that remind me of the guys in the office:

"I Thought the Future Would Have More Beep Boop Sounds"

"Nutritious Breakfast"

"Revenge Of The Sushi"

And my personal favorite:

"Real Bear Hugs Are Often Fatal"
