Made Us Look: Zach Galifianakis Tees + Bill Murray Leggings

Kate Puhala
Apr 11, 2014

Just when you thought you were totally prepared to take on springs trendiest prints like bold florals or artsy graphics, you get thrown a curveball — a very strange curveball, like a print of Zach Galifianakis’s face collaged on a t-shirt. Or Bill Murray’s face as Steve Zissou speckled all over a pair of baby blue leggings. That’s what the etsy shop Clashist is slingin’, and we’re having a very hard time looking the other way.

We first spotted the “Crush Tee” on It girl Cory Kennedy, who was decked out top-to-bottom in prints of The Hangover star’s bearded mug. Wait, that infers that there is also a pair of matching leggings…? Yep! Those exist, as well as other versions of the cut-and-paste print pieces featuring Hollywood babes like Channing Tatum, James Franco, and our boo RyGos (we wish).

The clothing may or may not look JUST like the cover of our high school Trapper Keepers, all studded with pics of ‘90s heartthrobs… oh, what? They ALSO make a ‘90s Johnny Depp print tee? Happy Birthday to us! For that reason alone, we’re obsessed with this oddball streetwear.

If you’re crushing hard on this collection (come on, how could you not LOL?), it’ll cost you $125 to rock the matching two-piece like Cory Kennedy ($55 for the unisex shirt, $70 for the leggings). So fess up: would you wear these kooky tees and leggings? Or are you cool with just gawking at these power prints from the safety of your screen? Tell us in the comments below.

The 7 Best White T-Shirts, According To Real Shoppers Who Love Them

I always feel like I’m on a constant search for the perfect white t-shirt. It can’t be too fitting or too loose, nor too long or too cropped. I’m picky!

Since brands make ‘em in so many different styles these days, it can be really hard to land on the go-to white tee for me! But, when I shop for wardrobe staples like this, I can always depend on real shopper reviews to tell me everything I need to know.

Based on my search thus far, these 7 white t-shirts are the most beloved for their fit, comfort level, and overall durability (you know how the washer + dryer can be). Stuck in the same endless loop in pursuing your dream white tee? Look no further than these top-rated styles you can wear all year long.


Gap

Gap Organic Cotton Vintage Shrunken T-Shirt

This white tee is intentionally shrunk, which honestly makes its fit all the better. It boasts a straight silhouette, a classic crewneck, and a semi-cropped hemline, all of which make this t-shirt elevated enough for work, but more casual for weekend wear. It's cut from a super soft, 100% organically grown cotton material that allows ample airflow.

This Gap tee has earned 4.5/5 stars with 79 certified 5-star ratings. Shoppers love how simplistic the style is:

"Fabric is cool but not too thin."

"Clean and simple but still feels pretty."

The Gap Organic Cotton Vintage Shrunken T-Shirt is shoppable in sizes XXS-XXL for $12.

Amazon

SanaRazo White Short Sleeve Crop Top

Made specifically for a 'slim fit', this t-shirt that you can snag on Amazon is visibly cropped to the perfect length. The hem lands a bit above the belly button, similar to your average baby tee. You will likely love it if you tend to wear high-waisted pants and want a balanced look. This tee is definitely more form-fitting than the previous Gap design, but it doesn't squeeze the body or arms tight at all. It's made from smooth and sweat-wicking breathable cotton material with a touch of spandex for added stretch, which is always appreciated for movin' around.

This SanaRazo shirt has earned 4.8/5 stars with 30 thorough 5-star reviews. Shoppers enjoy the overall material and how it fits them:

"Great quality, shirt fits very nicely."

"Love the thickness in material."

"It's a a slim fit, but not too tight."

The SanaRazo White Short Sleeve Crop Top is available in sizes XS-XL for $15.

Amazon

Comfort Colors Women's Short Sleeve Tee

I love the 100% cotton material that Comfort Colors uses for their t-shirts. It's quite thick and durable, which may sacrifice a bit of breathability, but at least I know it's gonna last me a long time. I will note that the fabric has the potential to fade slightly, depending on how you wash it. In my opinion, the fading gives it stylish edge. It just might not be everyone's thing!

This pick is fairly plain as far as white t-shirts go. It boasts a semi-fitted silhouette if you buy it in your usual size, but you can always size up for an oversized feel (which I prefer), or down for a body-hugging look.

This Comfort Colors tee has earned 4/5 stars with 1,929 5-star reviews. One criticism users have noted about the product is the sizing does run small. Here's what a few helpful reviews say:

"Be sure to order a size up, they run small."

"Comfort Colors is my go-to brand when I have a choice. Always can depend on the right fit and fabric that does not shrink or fall apart after washing."

"Love, love, love this shirt."

This Comfort Colors Women's Short Sleeve Tee is currently shoppable in sizes XS-XXL for $11 (was $15) on Amazon.

Amazon

Easy Gala Short Sleeve Scoop Neck T-Shirt

The signature quality of this white t-shirt is that it's buttery-soft to the touch and massively stretchy. It's crafted from a blend of 76% polyamide and 24% elastane, which lends it to unmatched comfort. The noticeable stretch can adapt to a range of shirt sizes, which is especially impressive if you tend to fluctuate between sizes (totally normal, BTW). The double-lined fabric forms to your body and smooths things down a bit. The elevated square neckline is really cool, too, if you just want to wear something a lil' different!

This Easy Gala white tee has earned 4.3/5 stars with 31 5-star reviews. Shoppers are impressed by the quality and fit:

"The fabric is very soft and very stretchy. The whole item is double-lined, even the sleeves. It feels really comfortable and provides some tummy control."

"This shirt makes me look and feel pretty sexy. It stretches but fit perfectly. Love the color options. Make of pretty strong material."

"Has not pilled after washing."

You can find the Easy Gala Short Sleeve Scoop Neck T-Shirt in sizes XS-XL for $20 on Amazon.

Amazon

Beumissy Women's Casual Crewneck T-Shirt

This next pick is *almost* like a baby tee, except boasts a longer hemline. The shorter sleeves (which are not quite cap sleeves, but not quite traditional either) emit a very feminine vibe, which can instantly dress up any ensemble you put together. This tee flaunts a high-cut, high-coverage crewneck. It's cut from 91% cotton and 9% elastane, so you get some good some stretch from this versatile top.

This Beumissy white t-shirt has earned 4.4/5 stars. Shoppers like the fit and feel of it, but some reviewers have noted that the fabric can be see-through:

"Ladies, wear a bra with this one."

"Usually, clothing tends to be cropped even if it's not specified but this was a nice full length shirt which works perfectly with low rise pants!"

"The fabric is stretchy and bounces back to the original size and shape when it’s off."

The Beumissy Women's Casual Crewneck T-Shirt is shoppable in sizes S-XL for $15.

Urban Outfitters

BDG Universal Shrunken Tee

This BDG tee comes purposely shrunken for a closer-to-the-body fit. It mimics most basic t-shirt silhouettes, except the hemline is slightly cropped, landing right around the waist. It's made from 100% soft-washed cotton for a cozy feel. This pick is pretty classic, plus it comes in a range of different colors and patterns to explore if you end up loving this white one!

This shirt has earned 4.3/5 stars from real shoppers:

"Cute and goes with everything!"

"I would definitely recommend sizing up one or two sizes if you really want a more baggier boxier fit."

You can find the BDG Universal Shrunken Tee in sizes XS-XXL for $20 from Urban Outfitters.

Everlane

Everlane The Organic Cotton Box-Cut Tee

This tee is truly timeless. It features a classic crewneck, a slightly cropped hemline, and a very loose, relaxed fit throughout. It's crafted from 100% organic cotton, which helps make wearing it super breathable and soft to the touch. Whether you wear it with jeans or a skirt, it's gonna feel supremely comfy!

This best-selling Everlane t-shirt has earned 4.6/5 stars with 664 5-star reviews. Shoppers say it's a great buy:

"They are the absolute best - very classic, soft cotton fabric and easy to launder. Great relaxed fit without being clingy or oversized."

"This has become a go to staple. I have wide shoulders and a short waist, and I am really happy with the fit of this tee on me."

"I recommend going one size up from your typical non-Everlane size."

The Everlane The Organic Cotton Box-Cut Tee is shoppable in many colors and sizes XXS-XXXL for $30. You can also buy a version with a front pocket accent in the same colors and sizes.

10 Booze-Free Ways To Ring In The New Year

When it comes to New Year's Eve celebrations, the first thought that probably springs to mind is boozing it up with an NYE cocktail. And while there's nothing wrong with sipping some bubbly (if that's your inclination), those of us who prefer to keep thingsnon-alc may feel like there are no New Year's-appropriate activities for our preferences. We say that nothing could be further from the truth! Whether you're pregnant, abstaining, or just taking a break from the booze, here are 10 fun ideas for ringing in 2025, the sober way.

Attend A Silent Disco

A few years ago, just as the sober-curious movement was gaining steam, companies like Daybreaker brought 6 a.m. sober dance parties to the masses. In a similar vein are remote silent discos – events where you put your headphones on and dance it out to the music of world-class DJs right in the comfort of your own home (or in person, if you feel like venturing out).

A quick Google search will reveal that there are tons of options to shake it off on New Year's Eve, whether remotely or in-person in your city. Because silent discos have an alternative vibe, they're much more sober-friendly than traditional clubs and dance parties.

Make A Tea Bar

If you've ever been to a party where they had aProsecco bar or something similar, you know how fun themed bars can be. Why not make a NA equivalent with a tea bar? We're not just talking about hot water and tea bags... include exciting staples like bubble tea, kombucha, Southern-style sweet iced tea, and more!

Do A Goal-Setting Ritual

Brit + Co

Not in the mood to party this year? Celebrate the New Year with some introspection by doing a goal-setting ritual. You can design the ritual in whatever manner you like, but we recommend something along the lines of:

  • Light a candle and sit quietly for a few minutes.
  • Whip out your journal and take inventory of the last year: What were your best memories? What are you grateful for? Where do you think you could've improved?
  • In your journal (we have some killer prompts to start you off), mindfully list out your goals for 2025. They don't have to be New Year's resolutions, exactly, but include small steps you can take in the new year to help you achieve your goals!

Make A 2025 Scrapbook

Brit + Co

Before New Year's Eve, head to your local craft store and pick up some supplies for making an old-fashioned scrapbook. Print out some photos from your most treasured memories of the year (we like printing with Walgreens), and gather any magazines you purchased or journal entries you wrote.

You can also look up some news headlines that made an impact on you, and print out the article as well as photos of any notable celebs or politicians who made the news. On New Year's eve, put together a scrapbook of what made 2024, 2024.

Good, bad, or otherwise, the year was one to remember — so create a momento that will help you re-live the past year in the years to come.

Plan A Costume Party

Brit + Co

Believe it or not, masquerade balls, dressing up in costumes, and concealing one's identity have a long history in the historical celebrations of Christmastime. So we think a New Year's costume party is a fully appropriate idea for a sober New Year's Eve.

Who needs booze to have fun when you can dress up as whoever you want for a night of merriment and mystery?

Karaoke It Up

Another fun party pastime that's fun with or without booze? Singing! Grab some friends for a sober karaoke night either at your house or a private karaoke room. The singing's bound to be better than it would be if you were imbibing... who knows, maybe you'll steal the show with your rendition of "I'm Just Ken."

Cook A Fancy Meal

Whether you're spending the evening with your S/O or your BFF, cook a fancydinner for two. New Year's Eve is the perfect time to get fancy with food, so use this opportunity to ring in 2025 with only the finest cuisine. Don't forget to make a mocktail to go with!

Host A Game Night

Brit + Co

Bring all your besties over and host a board game night that's sure to be one for the books. Have everyone bring their favorite game – from Cards Against Humanity to Codenames – for a riotous evening that will remind you that you absolutely don't need booze to have a rowdy night of laughter!

Play 2024 Trivia

Before New Year's Eve, compile a long list of trivia questions about 2024. Alternatively, have a friend do it for you, or do a quick Google search... there are a lot of trivia quizzes out there. On the big night, gather your squad together to see how much you remember about 2024. The results may surprise you!

Host A Murder-Mystery Dinner

Murder-mystery dinners are still one of the best ways to facilitate a heart-racing and mind-boggling party. Pick up one of the many murder mystery dinner kits out there and have your besties over for a night of thinking on your toes — to be fair, it's probably best to skip the booze for this idea anyway, for the sake of your mental acuity.

3 Key Things Super Compatible Couples Never Argue About, According To Experts

By now, you may be able to recognize signs of gaslighting or other toxicbehaviors, but do you know how to take everything you've learned and become a super compatible couple? According to experts, there are a few key things super compatible couples rarely argue about — even with whatever faults each person brings to the relationship table. While the topics these couples avoid may not surprise you, the reason why they're able to avoid them might. But first, let's talk about what makes couples more compatible than others.

Dr. Brooke Keels, Ph.D., LPC-MHSP, LPC-Supervisor, Chief Clinical Officer at Lighthouse Recovery, has this to say: "Couples are compatible when they share similar values, goals, and know the best way to communicate with each other." Notice she didn't say these couples are just alike.

More so, she explains that "it's about how well they handle differences, whether they can support each other through tough times, and how they connect emotionally." Dr. Keels adds, "when there’s respect, trust, and a good balance of give-and-take between them?" Dr. Keels believes this gives couples a better chance "to be in sync."

Scroll down to see the topics you'll rarely hear compatible couples arguing about!

RDNE Stock project

1. Long-term goals like marriage aren't often a cause for concern.

Have you ever dated someone that made you wonder what you saw in them once you pay attention to certain red flags? You may have found yourself arguing with them about everything from religion to reproductive health, leaving you feeling dizzy afterwards. But Dr. Keels says compatible couples are more likely to be aligned on "whether they want the same things out of life."

Her examples include:

  • Relocating for careers
  • Family planning
  • Finding somewhere to settle down in general (i.e. apartment, condo, different state, close to family, etc.,)

"This common ground lessens the chance of fighting over these big topics," Dr. Keels reiterates.

2. There's a lesser chance arguments about weekend activities occur.

We're no strangers to indecisive moments where we couldn't agree about what to do on the weekends with our partners, but Dr. Keels says compatible couples don't always run into this issue. "When you enjoy similar activities or have overlapping hobbies, you're more like to find ways to unwind together, rather than feeling disconnected or frustrated by each other's choices," she adds.

While it varies from couple to couple, you and your partner may enjoy the following:

  • Buying tickets to watch the latest college basketball or football game
  • Going to a 'Paint and Sip' class for fun
  • Having a mini outdoor picnic
  • Visiting a national park if it's on your couple's bucket list
  • Spending a day at a local arcade

The possibilities are endless, but all that matters is that "this mutual understanding makes spending time together feel natural and fun," according to Dr. Keels.

Mikhail Nilov

3. Communication styles aren't causing a daily disruption.

Some people have a more direct way of communicating while others may be passive or even passive-aggressive. Less arguments aren't happening because compatible couples communicate the same however. "When they both understand each other's communication style — whether it's direct or more subtle — it helps avoid misunderstandings and frustration."

Here's a couple of examples:

  • If you're having a bad day that has nothing to do with your partner, they don't take it personal when you prefer some alone time.
  • If your partner says something they perceived to be a joke, but you didn't, you're less likely to immediately accuse them of being insensitive. Instead, there's a higher chance of asking what they mean by something and expressing why you didn't like it instead of arguing.

Compatible couples "know how to express their feelings and needs in a way that the other person can easily understand" which makes "it easier to resolve issues calmly," according to Dr. Keels.

Alex Green

Are couples better (or more compatible) because they don't have a lot of arguments?

Well, no. That's actually a stretch because everyone has arguments. "Even compatible couples can argue about everyday things like chores or schedules. No matter how well they get along or how "in sync" they are, little annoyances can still pop up here and there, and cause some tension between them," Dr. Keels shares. "The difference," she points out, "is that they're usually better at handling these moments and keeping them from turning into bigger problems."

The other thing she's seen couples argue about is money. "It's such a common stress point because everyone has different habits and priorities when it comes to spending or saving," she says. But, guess what? "Compatible couples tend to approach the conversation with more understanding and a willingness to find a compromise," she continues.

If you feel like you and your partner aren't on the same page, it may not be time to break up just yet. We've learned that that it can take time to effectively communicate with a romantic partner or understand them. Compatibility is great, but it's not an indicator that a relationship will be smooth sailing!

Keira Burton

How can I have healthier disagreements with my partner?

Like we said, getting to a point where you and your partner aren't consistently hurting each other's feelings during disagreements takes time as well as skill. No one's born knowing all the answers so don't think your relationship is over because you're still figuring things out.

Dr. Keels says one way you and your partner can work on the kind of disagreements you're having is by "knowing how to communicate/compromise." Look, we heard your sigh and know it's probably the antithesis of how you feel. We struggled with compromising, but you don't get far in life thinking that everyone else has to bend to your will all the time.

"Even if they don’t see eye to eye all the time, healthy couples listen to each other's perspectives, and look for solutions that work for both of them. It’s not about 'winning' the argument and getting to say who's right, but finding common ground so they can move forward together," adds Dr. Keels.

SHVETS production

Also, "staying respectful event when things get heated or when you're upset" is a way to have a productive arguments, according to Dr. Keels. What happens is that "healthy couples avoid yelling or saying hurting things during disagreements," she says. This means no cursing or raising voices to the point your next door neighbors feel they have to call the police to do a wellness check on you.

"Instead, they just focus on the real problem and stay calm, which helps them work through the issue without hurting each other and the relationship," Dr. Keels says. And in the event you and your partner can't find common ground in a given moment? She highly suggests you "take breaks or pause when things get too heated."

Couples who do this "know when to step away and cool off before continuing the conversation," she adds. There are times where it's difficult to have a proper conversation when you're anxious or angry, so it's always better to revisit the topic.

Dr. Keels agrees and says, "This gives them a chance to cool down first so they can properly think things through, and think of a solution that works for both of them without saying anything they might regret."
