This is quite correct-- even if the graphic is well-designed, as Gunnar's is, that doesn't mean that graphic t-shirts are fashionable. My opinion is that the larger the graphic on a t-shirt is, the less fashionable the t-shirt is. Wearing solid-color clothes is a great go-to option, though I bet that it would be possible to design shirts with less flashy graphics that could signal intelligence while still being fashionable.

That flashy truth graphic wasn't on my shirt (I just linked to it for illustration). Mine is indeed plain text on a black shirt (no 'T').
