Is this LLBean T-shirt cute or ugly?

[WitMom]

I have no fashion sense. I admit it. BUT I am tired of wearing plain T-shirts, so when I saw this one, I thought it was cute. Then I read the reviews, and the majority of reviewers are 55+. Yikes. Is it cute, or is it old-lady? Tell me honestly!

I'm not big into bows.... I personally think it's kind of ugly.

There is no way I'd wear that bow.

I wasn't sure when I saw the picture but I like it on the model (the bow isn't really big and obvious on the pic with the model). I definitely like those gathered necks (yoke?) I find they are flattering on my flat-chested self.

Then again, I am not a fashionable girl either.

[MoJo]

love the color; don't like the bow at all.

I'm not a fan... are you looking for long sleeve ts with embellishment or do you care if they are short sleeve? You might want to try looking at AT Loft, Banana Republic, J. Crew, Gap and Old Navy. I've also found cute ones at Anthropologie but I usually go to the store and peruse the sale rack.

Not good. The bow is odd. Plus, not sure how old you LO is, but mine would have a field day yanking, chewing, and hanging on that thing.

If the bow were off to the side more I would like it. Where it is now I just don't like. I can only give it a 50%. I don't think it's old lady, I just don't really get it. AGreed- love the color (I am wearing it right now, in fact :)).

I've seen similar tees at J. Crew and AT Loft...but there they had the bows off to the side, which seems a little less...uh...dorky than having the bow right in the middle.

There are a lot of not-so-basic tee shirts out there now.

Not a bow, but similar concept...

An even cheaper version...

I agree. It looks cute on the model in the picture.

[kozachka]

I would not be caught dead wearing one of those. I have two silk blouses with bows and I always remove them before wearing since they remind me too much of the 80s.

[trentsmom]

I am not a fan of the floppy bow. I already lived through that style once in the early 80s! The rest of the shirt looks good, though.

I understand where you're coming from with the wardrobe of plain shirts. That describes most of my wardrobe!

[baymom]

While it looks fine on the model in the picture, I don't think I would ever wear a shirt with a bow like that in the front.

[WitMom]

Hmmmm....do I hear a resounding "no", lol? Thanks for the input everyone...you stopped me from looking like a nut in public.

And ilfaith...I love all of those that you found. I may have to check those stores out.
