Do you wear clothes with writing on?

I was looking at a half-decent jumper from Next. Quite nice apart from the pink "Love" written across the chest Hmm

I avoid clothes with writing on as I think it's pretty naff (Next seem to excel at it). My DH has a Superdry jacket which has 'Superdry' written on it but insists 'it's different if it's a brand'. What do you think? Is writing OK and can it be stylish?

Those boots are lovely Vizzini and the logo looks tiny :)

I agree t shirts/polo shirts from events or groups are acceptable - I have played in a few brass bands and done tours where we wear them instead of a uniform.

"I secretly wish that kind of surreal retribution on logo t-shirt likers, i.e. "St Tropez Style" sentenced to several months cleaning campsite toilets in South of France. Mwah-hah-hah!" Enraha that's brilliant :o

I read a tweet on twop twips yesterday :"MEN who buy t-shirts from supermarkets. You did not attend the California Surf Academy. You did not graduate in 1976." Love it :o

I rarely wear anything with a print either.
Prefer the merry grey that is Mint Velvet.

After a stint of wearing FCUK t-shirts in my teens I don't do this anymore.

The only exception is that I have a few big baggy t-shirts with charity logos on that I got as freebies for volunteering. I wear them in the gym as they cover everything up. No problem with promoting a charity. Anyone else should pay me to advertise!
