Mens Pocket Tee Shirts
From LoveToKnow Men's Fashion
If one searches any male closet in America, he or she will likely find a large selection of men's pocket tee shirts. Inexpensive, comfortable and casual tee shirts are as common as apple pie and baseball. What wardrobe would be complete without a nice selection of tee shirts for the casual part of a man's attire?
Styles of Men's Pocket Tee Shirts
With millions of T-shirts sold every year, it's little wonder that there are numerous styles available. Even just looking at the T-shirts that have pockets, there is a wide variety of designs available.
Solid Colors
The solid colored shirts are probably the most popular style for casual wear. The colors are widely varied, but the most common ones men wear include:
- Red
- Royal blue
- Black
- White
- Grey
- Navy blue
Purchase these at just about any retailer that sells men's clothing, including Wal-mart, JC Penny and Target. Some men occasionally pair tee shirts with other wardrobe essentials for a dressier casual look, and it is best to stick with colors such as navy blue or black for those occasions. Some of the brighter or more unusual colors may look a bit too casual. Tropical colors paired with a white jacket can create a Miami Vice/Don Johnson look. While this look has its place, today's man may or may not want to take a trip back to the 80s with his wardrobe.
Stripes
One of the current hot looks for guys is striped shirts. Striped tee shirts are no exception to this rule and create a casual look that is a bit edgier. These shirts are nice enough to be worn to a picnic or out on a casual date. Paired with a solid-colored sports coat, they create a dressier look for a nice dinner out or a trip to church on Sunday. The colors of striped shirts tend to be brighter and contrasting, such as green and navy blue paired together, or looks such as orange and red stripes. Some nice styles are available at [Aeropastale], but it is also easy to locate striped pocket tees at regular brick and mortar stores where most people regularly shop.
Designer Pocket Tees
Love the designer look, but seeking a more casual approach to a wardrobe? Polo Ralph Lauren offers a tee shirt that is sure to please. These shirts are available at fine retailers such as Dillard's, Nordstrom's and at Polo Ralph Lauren outlet stores.
Customized Tee Shirts
Customized tee shirts can create a unique look. A small-embroidered set of initials on the pocket or sleeve can add a personal flair to any shirt. Many companies also give out free customized tees as an incentive, customer appreciation or advertisement. While some men shy away from wearing shirts with advertisements, others like to find edgy companies and create a unique look. As an added bonus, these shirts are often given away free to customers of the company, which can leave more room in the budget for business suits or other clothing.
Where to Wear
If you haven't already guessed that pocket tee shirts can be worn just about anywhere that other casual clothing can be worn, here are a few more ideas on how to wear pocket tees:
- Pair the T-shirt with a pair of jeans for a casual, run-to-the-grocery look.
- Add a sweater vest to a long-sleeved men's tee shirt for a dressier look for a date or family event.
- Tuck the shirt into a pair of Chinos for a semi-dressy look that would be perfect at a casual party with friends.
- Add a knit tie knotted loosely for a unique, trendy look.
- Use slightly faded T-shirts as sleepwear. Throw out any that are extremely worn. These shirts are inexpensive enough that they should be replaced as soon as they become worn. Use the worn shirts as rags in the garage.
No matter which men's pocket tee shirt is the right style and fit, you'll find plenty of selection in today's styles. Each season is sure to bring new colors and variety.
