Spring shopping: The Return of the Tee

2008 was a rough year. I am sure I don't need to remind you of our ongoing economic issues. Between the mortgage meltdown, the credit crunch, the 8.5% unemployment rate, and market failures in almost every country, everyone is squeezing their wallet a little tighter.
So what are fashion designers supposed to do in times of economic crisis? Exactly what they did this spring - go back to the basics and create pieces that shoppers can keep for years. The spring runways were toned down, restrained, and designers focused less on taking risks and more on creating staple pieces every woman should own. In times where almost everyone is less likely to spend an extra buck, let alone hundreds of extra dollars on extravagant, wear-it-once pieces, designers went back to the closet must-haves and kept it simple with basic tees.
Good for us - this easy, effortless item is perhaps the least expensive thing to buy all season and probably the most comfortable.
