I'm not particularly big on "noisy" full graphic t-shirts. Silhouettes are pretty cool but I think the work shirt is the best thing for me. Trying to drop t-shirts for better looking stuff anyways.
Neither am I. T-shirts are fine, don't get me wrong, but I really do need something intermediate between t-shirts and business casual that I can wear when I'm going out and sorta care how I appear. The other issue I have with graphic tees is how the image deteriorates with fading; a faded graphic tee usually looks much worse than a faded solid or silhouette.
The problem with almost all of these clothing items is that they stand out so much. I have been known to wear a nerdy tshirt every now and then but they tend to be much more subtle and a little more "classy." I don't really like broadcasting my nerdiness, especially because it is awesome when someone picks up on a subtle reference.
I understand, and that's why I like the 765 hoodie and button down, and to a lesser extent the 876 t-shirt. They're not that overt, and manage to look really nice without cluing most people in. I like dark clothing too, so that's also a plus.
