I’m browsing H&M and these choices look so random…

We’ve got Claude Monet and Van Gogh - sure, i love their paintings as much as the next person, but a T-shirt usually celebrates people or groups who are still alive, right?

And then “university of michigan” - why is faux university paraphenilia considered stylish?? Hell this is a bigger question than my original one. I’m shopping in Britain and the brand is European, what significance does University of Michigan have on our lives?

The various band name t shirts make the most sense, but for a while now there’s bee. The whole “oh you like Band Name? Name 3 of their songs.” attitude, so i see it dying off

Not intended as advertising btw.

    You are thinking too much.

    There no significance. Fashion isn’t really about ‘meaning’ it’s about feeling different/superior than the unfashionable around you.

    Often ‘being fashionable’ is just standing out from the crowd. As such, UMichigan gear in Europe would make you stand out.
