When it comes to T-shirts, many men think they're just a basic item in their wardrobe. But let me tell you, in Arizona that basic item has the be a State 48 T-shirt  There are a variety of styles, fits, and fabrics to choose from, and they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.  The best thing is that they can communicate a simple"love AZ statement", or show support for our favorite teams, "Forks Up", but I think the favorites are the shirts that have been partnered with local non profit missions to lend a helping hand. 

3 Tips for Styling a T-shirt:

  1. Add a Layer: Easily elevate a T-shirt with a stylish blazer or a light jacket and you're ready to go from business lunch to swanky after-work cocktails. But if casual is more your vibe, then try throwing an unbuttoned flannel over your favorite tee for a classic look that looks effortlessly stylish. 

  2. Try a Tuck: Never underestimate the power of the tuck! Whether you’re pairing with slacks or jeans, try a French Tuck – where just the front of the shirt is tucked in and the rest is loose and untucked. Add a belt and voila, you’re stylin’. Feeling bold? Roll up the sleeves a la James Dean. 

  3. Play with Patterns: Don’t be afraid to play with patterns. Pair your T-shirt with some bright-colored, patterned shorts or pants for a fun but balanced look. Add a pair of cool shades and you’ll be turning heads all summer.
