shirts are back in those awful color combinations

Fashion trends have multiple lives. And like films, the originals don't have to be great to warrant a remake. Case in point: striped T shirts. They're making another touchdown on the fashion timeline.

"It's a nerdy surfer look," says fashion designer Todd Oldham, who, even with that Women UGG Boots On Sale disparaging remark, admits he's quite enamored of the oversized T's in atrocious color combinations that are disappearing from the shelves in the Gap and surf shops around town.

Such shirts were last seen in the '60s. The fabric was a combination UGG Boots On Sale 70% Off of cotton and the new wonder fiber polyester. Big name surfers Greg Noll, Hobie Alter, Dewey Weber and Tom Morey, endorsed the Hang Ten shirts, which cost less than $10.

As the popularity of the striped surf shirts was cresting, the trend moved inland, and stricken with the dweeb factor sputtered and died in the Corn Belt.

About 30 years later Hang Ten has resurrected the shirts in the same colors and stripe patterns. The cut UGG Boots On Sale is a little roomier and the heavy weight knit fabric is now 100% cotton. The price has gone up, $35 for a short sleeved single pocket T.

The striped Ts are showing up at raves, in high schools and on the backs of gray haired guys who lament not keeping their originals, especially now that the price has tripled.
