It's funny that we just discovered the clothing company One People Project. It would appear that the line we stumbled upon is actually their fall collection, but our tardiness has served us well. When we look at these shirts we think spring and summer. Apparently their apparel knows no boundaries.

Do you start bringing out your tank tops at the first sign of summer? Or do you hold out and wear shirts with sleeves even in the scorching sun?

Summer can be tough for women who are self-conscious about big arms -- you want to stay cool and look season appropriate, but you don't want to bring attention to your least favorite body part. Don't worry -- we're here to help you find clothes you love that also flatter your figure! Check out the gallery for some basic rules for ladies with larger arms.

Twelve Bar makes a lot more than t-shirts, and any of their products could easily grace the pages of Styledash in the future, but as this is the coveted "T-Shirt of the day" spot we thought it only right to stick to said tees. We're a stickler for the rules.

Vintage Red's latest contribution to our closet is inspired by world travels, beers in Bali, and long laughs shared with "citizens of the world." It is a meeting of the travel inspired and the classically western, and it fits nicely.

Their Spring '08 line consists of three collections that are as distinct as they are similar. Tricky, that. They are split into Military Neutrals, Coastal Living, and South of France, respectively, and while there are the occasional pair of shorts or printed t-shirts, the majority of the line is button up shirts, both short sleeves and long.

As we mentioned last week, Gap's second collection of limited-edition pieces inspired by the classic white shirt hits stores today.

All of the chic garments were created exclusively by finalists of the 2007 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund -- which helps emerging American design talent find continued success in the business side of fashion.

How is that? Anna Wintour puts the struggling designer in her fashion bible -- aka Vogue. And the exposure usually does wonders for the brand and the image of the lucky designer.

Do rugby-style shirts ever go out of style? Yes, but they always come back.

And they're back! Rugby Ralph Lauren has just released their summer collection, which includes both classic and nouveaux styles in some great colors!

Ladies and gentlemen, witness our favorite item at right. This dress is the perfect cover-up for your tired skin after a long day at the beach, or on the boat when that cool air starts to come off the water. Throw out your sweatshirts, ladies. They're ugly.

Um, did we mention there's a His and Hers Giveaway? Read on for info on that, and on their online make-your-own feature!

Even if Arbor didn't make awesome apparel (and skate and snow boards) it would be a great company. They have a commitment to the environment that would make Al Gore blush, and that's saying something.

From their website: "Arbor's long-standing assertion is that solutions to many of today's most difficult snow, skate, and apparel design challenges exist in the natural world."

Here are some samples of their shirts for men:

I don't know how many times I've spent Easter morning dressed like some banker in a short-sleeved business shirt and a clip-on tie, looking for eggs and hoping that the Peeps didn't have E.coli (they don't). Of course that was when I was a kid (early 20's).

Nowadays I'm more likely to be sitting on the couch in my boxers and asking the kids to hunt Daddy another beer that the bunny hid in the icebox. Oh, family traditions.

No more. Thanks to the good folks at Snorg Tees I will once again be dressed on Easter Sunday, but this time with style.

The My Butt Hurts (16.95) (ladies) t-shirt brings forth a very delicate matter often overshadowed during the Easter season, "the perils of life as a chocolate bunny" (from website). What strikes me as, well, striking, is that the perils of the candy bunny seem disturbingly similar to those suffered by the Playboy Bunny, except for the ears part. Freaky, isn't it?

If Easter isn't your thing, or if you're just greedy, here are some other fine shirts from Snorg Tees:

I suppose they are also off it (the hook that is), as the kids are saying nowadays. Sabit is a Japanese term meaning "the hook" or "best part of a song." It is also a Japanese clothing company that prescribes to the philosophy of Tanoshinde, meaning "enjoy," which basically means it's probably a pretty cool place to work. I learned all of that from their website (comes with an unstoppable dance groove- seriously, I can't turn it off). Before today the only Japanese I knew was what I learned on Heroes.

The designer behind the enjoyment is Shoichi Amemiya, previously of Marc Ecko, who classifies the line as "Japanese-influenced street couture."

What does that mean? Um, I'm not sure. I've never been on the streets of Japan. However, I know what I like and I like these workmanesque gingham button-down shirts from their At SUO Collection/Spring 2008. Between the contrasted pocket, patches and embroidery, the vibe is equal parts garage and pool hall. That adds up to a sweet shirt.

Most men I know have at least a dozen ties, and about that many dress shirts, just for good measure. You know, in case they end up having to dress up for some random formal function, or for a job that they might get, later, when they grow up. But let's be honest guys -- chances are you wear a tie so infrequently that you have no idea how to match one to a shirt.

And it's even worse when you're shopping. Then you're forced to pick out a cool shirt, plus a cool tie, and make sure they match -- on the spot, with no help, and potentially without access to decent mirrors. Fie!

Fortunately there's a solution. Express Fashion has created a Shirt and Tie Guide, that offers 13 different shirts to pick from, and an assortment of ties that go with each. No more guessing, no more freaking out at the last minute, and no more showing up to dinner with the boss wearing a bold striped shirt and some wacky paisley tie you got from your dad back in grade school.

Plus, let's not forget that ties are coming back into fashion, so you might get more use out of the Shirt and Tie Guide than you think.

Trying to decide what tie to buy? Here's what's hot:

Every time a hipster puts on an ironic t-shirt fished out of an Urban Outfitters clearance bin, he or she is making a statement. And that statement is "Yes, I am fully confident that my inner coolness is enough to counter this hideous shirt, and the visual cacophony that it inflicts upon all who cross my path".

It's a loud and somewhat obnoxious statement, to be sure, but there is no indication that this trend will fade any time soon.

To be fair, it's not just hipsters. There are also the pierced heavy metal heads showing their supposed support of Phil Collins across their chests; the scrawny and pale-skinned inviting ladies to check out their gun show and/or pythons, and the girls proclaiming that they truly "heart" nerds when in reality, it's blatantly obvious that they're out of anyone and everyone's league. Anyone with an inflated sense of self-confidence can don one of these shirts and be on their merry way.

Wear your ironic t-shirts well, hipsters and all those brave enough to risk testing their cool mettle. There will come a day when you're too saggy and sad to pull off that little league shirt you picked up at Goodwill. This moment will come and it will strike you hard. All you will be able to do is sit to the side and watch the new generation of hipsters flourish and thrive in the ongoing trend of ironic wear.

If there's one thing I'm consistently noticing about menswear for the fall and winter, it's the simplicity. The bright colors, bold patterns and loud graphics of spring and summer have been replaced by plain, fitted tops in gray, black, brown and a some darker Earth tones.

Some of this is typical for cold-weather clothing, but I think, on the whole, we're moving away from the loud look, and toward something that's a little more sophisticated -- more grown-up, even. Not to say you can't keep it casual -- because what normal person can really be bothered to dress up 7 days a week?

That's why I'm such a fan of this jersey polo from Marc Jacobs. It's low-key, and seemingly straightforward, but on closer inspection you'll notice the little pocket detail,which is a nice touch -- not to mention, of course, the perfect fit. It's a little pricey at almost $90, but with all the layering you'll be doing, you can get enough use out of this shirt to justify spending a little more than normal.

I'm pretty particular about the way I fold my shirts, and it usually takes me a minute or two to either get it right, or just give up and throw it in the closet. But here in this video you see that with a few scraps of cardboard and a little effort, folding your shirts can be quite simple. Then again, it seems a little over the top to actually construct something like this just to fold shirts.

If you do end up actually building a replica of this ingenious cardboard contraption, please let me know (and send pictures of it). And if something like this truly interests you, but you're not exactly crafty, then check out the $10.99 Perfect Fold Garment Folder over at Amazon.com and save yourself some trouble.

Just when you thought you'd finally seen the worst of those little plastic disasters, we learn that the makers of Crocs have stooped to a new low. Soon your fashion-challenged friends can have entire wardrobes full of brightly-colored goo, as the company has revealed they'll be launching a line of "plastic-inspired" clothing.

Gross.

Apparently, they figured out how to take the same ugly-ass material that's in the shoes and spin it into yarn, making it possible to design foam resin shirts, skirts and shorts.

Please, Croc people, I'm begging you -- show some restraint! Have a little foresight -- think of how we'll be judged by future generations. Spare the world from this hideous idea!

Feeling the heat?

If so, you might want to look into Japanese Kuchou-fuku's air-conditioned clothes. The shirts and jackets keep the wearer cool with two small fans sewn into the back of each garment. The fans are powered by a pocket-sized rechargeable battery pack.

They aren't the most fashionable thing I've seen, even in any of the 10 different styles and a variety of colors, but they do help the environment because they use about 1/50th the energy of a small air conditioner. If you don't mind that you might look like a human blimp, you can get one of these shirts for 11,000 yen ($96).
