I never buy shirts; I'm given shirts. For someone my parents like to buy me fancy dress shirts that have rough fabric & buttons & collars when they know I don't wear em. I tell em to take em back but they never do & then they get mad latter about how they spent money on cloths for me that I never wear but latter on they buy me more & the stupid cycle continues. It's usually very hot & humid here & I don't usually go places or do things where I need to dress up. My dad works in construction & goes shopping wearing pants & shirts with holes in em. Yet my mom's going to complain about me wearing shorts. As the Youngster in Pokemon Yellow game-boy games says;~ "I like shorts. They're comfy & easy to wear".

I love button-up dressy shirts - the ones from Abercrombie or Express are great, I also own one by John Varvatos. I don't wear them if the temp is above the mid 70s...

I HATE the feeling of buttons against my skin. I'll where em when i have to dress up for things like job interviews, weddings, funerals ect but that's about it. You would never wear those shirts in the summer here because the temp is usually in the 90s or higher here all summer long. I don't know how the goths/emos survive here without passing out :?

I hate some labels, but others are fine. I always cut them off if they bothered me enough. Some labels are nice and not itchy though. Some aren't even sticking out! They just put the words on the inside instead of a label! Quite a brilliant idea!

I rip all the tags off my clothing. I didn't know that you could buy shirts without tags.

People are mentioning buttons here. They are another bugbear. I can't stand fiddly things like buttons. As an example, I would like to buy a baseball shirt [SF Giants of course] but most baseball jerseys are like cardigans with buttons.

Nor did I. If I knew where, I would buy them all the time, it would give my scissors a rest!
