Brian Lichtenberg’s Homies Tee has become somewhat of a phenomenon. More so than any other tee with a simple, clever saying, this series of tees have been seen on celebs and bloggers alike, from Miley Cyrus to even Justin Bieber.

I have to admit, I too was drawn to it. I think I just like contradictions. The “homies” part is irreverent and so IDGAF, but made in gold screen — especially against white or black — makes it seem somewhat fancified. Then pair this laid-back gem with an actual girly skirt and heels and it looks like a walking contradiction. I also like that it’s a nod at the overly-expensive & iconic Hermes logo, so it’s somewhat of an inside joke among people who “get” the shirt and find it funny & irreverent.

I had a hard time choosing between black and white with gold screen. I ended up with black. Look how laid-back chic it looks like Christina Milian!

 The fit is loose and the material seems very comfortable and breathable.

 The screen printing also seems pretty high quality; doesn’t feel like it’ll fade or chip off with washing.

However, speaking of washing…this is the only thing I don’t love about this tee. It must be hand washed in cold water. I don’t recall the last time I hand washed anything. I’d like to try throwing this into the washer and see what happens, but I don’t want to risk it. Most likely not a problem for anyone else except lazy me =P Other than that minor issue, I love this tee and want to stock up in every style & color! White with gold would be especially cool.
