Do you feel originality lacking in your life? Don’t despair. Threadless.com may not be able to help you with your personality, but it can help you sport a unique shirt that will make you stand out above the rest.
Threadless.com is an online store that brings you original T-shirts designed by graphic designers all over the country. You could even design your own shirt and get paid for it. Yes. You read that right. Anyone can submit cool or clever designs. These designs are then voted on by the “threadless” community and if your design scores high enough, threadless.com will buy your design and pay you $2,500 dollars. Not a designer? You can also make money ($500 dollars) by submitting slogans, which other designers may use.
If you’re not into designing and just want to have everyone stare at your witty T-shirt and tell you how uniquely awesome you are, then just shop around. Don’t worry. “Threadless” shirts tend to be wallet-friendly. New designs usually go for about $20, but they have sales all the time where those prices drop down to $5 for select designs.
Need more than a T-shirt? Threadless.com also has hoodies, totes, thermos, and even iPhone cases with beautiful original designs. There are items for men, women, kids — you name it.
Threadless.com is also a fun community of creative people. You can spend all day just voting on other people’s submissions or participating in the site’s design challenges, which also have monetary rewards. Then, when your T-shirts get delivered, you can take a picture of yourself wearing it. This picture will go on the Web site and you’ll get a $1.50 credit toward your next purchase. How awesome is that?
So, what are you waiting for? Head over to threadless.com and look good, feel good, and get paid for doing so if you want. It’ll make your heart happy and your body happy because, as their slogan says, you’ll be “nude no more.”
