Cool T-Shirts - “Chill” Or Get “Chilled

by Kathy Austin

Again and again one hears the phrase “Cool”. It can be heard in motion scripts, by children and sometimes we ourselves use it. While no one knows exactly how such an expression came to be, perhaps, the beginning of the usage of the expression “Cool” might have a relationship with the true meaning of the word, i.e., “cold”.

The “cool” that we are talking about has an aesthetic nuance to it. And that t-shirt that has a suggestion of the aesthetic to it is the “cool t-shirt”. Artistic and/or visually appealing. Nothing to do with whether the apparel in question makes you feel cool, physically. Maybe it has its origins in the song “Daddy Cool” by Boney M. Just a thought. Wikipedia goes as far back as Aristotle.

Being “Cool” can also translate to being comfortable with one’s own style. Every one of us would always want to find out the best thing that really fits us, in line with our own craving for an unique individual lifestyle. However, we also want to send our own fashion statement to those people around us.

The difference with being “Cool” with one’s self and being “Cool” for others has also proved to be different. While one might find oneself comfortable with one’s own style, others might view it otherwise. Indeed, we are entitled to our own idiosyncrasies and that finding a way to express it and to keep our selves comfortable is by simply being “Cool”.

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.

Speaking of being “Cool”, one needs to understand the significance for others. We always find it “Cool” to be comfortable with ourselves. As mentioned earlier, it is not always in conformity with others view. Perhaps, it is most fitting that one would wear one’s cool t shirt with the people around who one is most comfortable. Although this would always be a rule, still there are some exemptions to it. One can wear these cool t-shirts especially if one wants to send a strong message to those around one. Sending them some “Cool Message” is not only a bold act, but also a good way to express one’s self.

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.

But the best way to use a cool t shirt is to give it as a present, especially to one’s friend. However, one must make sure that one’s “Cool T Shirt” will also be cool for him. Otherwise, it is not so much “cool” at all to give it to him. If one is planning to give one, take some time to know whom one will be giving it to. One way of making one’s friend feels good about one is to let him know that one knows him. And one way of sending such message to him is through a Cool T Shirt.
