A Hipster's Favorite Number Sequence

American Apparel, as we all know, is a phenomena of hip - almost everything sold there is designed with a hint of irony. But most young suckers-for-marketing such as I have fallen for American Apparel and their overpriced basics. Okay, so I might sound cynical here, but I really do love the store.
Recently, they've expanded on the success of their ultra-soft grey t-shirts known as Tri Blend. This blend of 50/25/25 has everyone scrambling for the quintessential hip t-shirt. Its remarkably soft, comfortable, slimming, and a pretty color. So hey, whats not to love? That's exactly what AA thought when they expanded the line of Tri Blend to tank tops, leggings, long sleeves, rompers, and even more colors. My personal favorite is a combination of the two American Apparel items I love most: the cardigan meets 50/25/25. Although its pricey, it would be incredible to wear that all day long. So soft! They've also added different hues of blue to the collection, as well as a violet and emerald.
If you've gone through this whole article/pseudo-advertisement without knowing what I'm talking about, hang out on lower Capitol Hill for a few minutes someday. Then you shall see.


Ooh! Aah!
