A Way to Get “Cool” with a Cool T-Shirt
In the context of t-shirts, the word “cool” has a figurative meaning and is as different as chalk and cheese from its literal sense. Though it is more widely used in college campuses than elsewhere, in describing an object that is exquisite or extremely desirable or out-of-the-world or even weird; it is still different from the other COOL that is used in the same campuses. “COOL” for “Classroom Object-Oriented Language”; this is definitely not “cool”.
Although coldness in extreme can be very uncomfortable, however, moderate coldness can make one feel better. It would not also be surprising if the word “Cool” signifies something that suits one and makes one feel comfortable.
Other t-shirts may be appealing also. It all depends on the eye of the beholder. As an example; for a person with a strong sense of humor, a t-shirt with a really hilarious statement or joke on it could be a cool one. To a deep thinker with a philosophic bent of mind, though he may find it funny, the attribute of “cool” might be farfetched as far as he is concerned. As such, a cool t-shirt might leave one person “cold” (is there a pun there) or leave another hot under the collar.
Exhibitionism is an inherent trait. Everyone wants to showoff in some way or the other. The bold and the beautiful do it with pomp and flair. For the not so bold and the not so beautiful, one comfortable way to do so would be to wear a cool t-shirt. One can, by diligent searching of the malls and the t-shirt stores, definitely stumble upon just that t-shirt that best expresses his individuality. It might come in any form, finding it is an art.
If you can’t find that cool t-shirt that articulates one’s uniqueness the next best bet for a really cool t-shirt would be a custom made t-shirt that would bring out the Ooohs! and the Aaahs! of those who look at it. It becomes a medium of your expression, something unique that your creative self has brought into the world. It could be a catchphrase, a simple but mind-boggling statement, a joke, a graphic; anything that can be printed on the front or the back of a t-shirt.
This would be also a way to exhibit one’s coolness. A statement like “I’m not totally useless, you can cite me as an example” speaks volumes. Nowadays, fashion is neither just about showing off the latest trend nor just about designer clothes and brands. A clothing designer who is really zealous about what he does would put his heart and soul into making certain that every t-shirt design he designs is really cool. He would also make sure that it speaks the message it carries with great force.
While cool t-shirts make a fashion statement or an expression, there are some means to find the most suited design for one’s print. One might want one’s cool t-shirt printed with one’s most desired rock icon or perhaps one’s preferred pop star. One might also want to have some cool phrase like “All The Cute Boys are Gays” or some catchphrase on it if one wants to attract one’s next door neighbor.
The most appropriate way to do use one’s cool t shirt is to give it as a gift, especially to one’s best friend. However, one must realize that one’s “Cool T Shirt” should also be cool to the one who one presents it to. If not, it might be not cool to give it. If one want to give one, one has to understand to who one will be presenting it. One way of having one’s friend feel better about one is to let that friend realize that one knows him also. In this way one is sending such message to him through one’s cool shirt.
