Raging Against the Fitted Tee The girls of the mid-2020s have no idea how good they really have it. They idolize Y2K fashion without respect for their elders, who lived through the "fitted tee" blight.

were you sold a fitted tee between the years 1992 and 2009? join our class action lawsuit

This perfect rant encapsulates everything I've ever thought about the fitted women's tee, but was always too blinded by rage to coherently put into words @ruthbetold.bsky.social
