Hypercolor me hopeful

Hypercolor me hopeful Posted on April 27, 20086 Comments

I was just cleaning out my master closet (“You’ve got to make it look roomy and big!,” says the real estate agent), when I came across my … wait for it … wait for it … Hypercolor shirt. Yes, I still have a Hypercolor shirt. I’ve been holding onto it closely while praying, PRAYING, for a comeback. What isn’t cool about a shirt that changes colors?? By the way, I had Hypercolor socks too. They were awesome.

(For those of you who don’t know, I’m a big fan of all things 80s. Here is another piece of evidence.)

Well, Buzz Feed tells me that designer Anzevino and Florence, whoever the heck they are, is offering color-change shirts for a somewhat reasonable price. Methinks it is a gimmick by said designers to get some press (well played, sirs), but maybe, just maybe this is the start of something great.

  1. I went to an unairconditioned school back then, so it was always amusing when folks wore their hypercolor shirts to school. People were walking around with differently colored armpitsa and crotches all day long.

  2. I stopped wearing my hypercolor shirt when the armpits kept changing colors in the summer. Does yours still work? That would be crazy.

  3. Dutchess: You should be 🙂

    CB: At the time it never occured to me that that could be a problem. Now, I know I would be much more self-conscious.

    Noelle and NPW: If only it worked as well as it used to.
