Brand Caveat: Affliction

You might have seen this guy with this shirt before. If so, stop looking in the mirror.

From the Metro-Sexual Guide to Men's Fashion:

"Affliction has very stylish trendy look in every graphical printed shirt. They have a very trendy gothic look in all their button up shirts to short and long sleeve graphic tees. Affliction t-shirts are what all the celebrities are wearing in Hollywood."

Um...yeah...

Affliction was stylish...in 2005. Since then the brand has drastically changed from an up and coming clothing line with potential to a brand that caters to men who are commonly associated with a particular feminine hygiene product. Not only are their designs excessively flamboyant, the brand just screams, "accept me, I'm stylish" when in fact you look just the opposite.

So while looking into the mirror, just repeat to yourself, "please stop."
