The geniuses at American Apparel who brought you (in every color) body suits, windbreakers and braided belts have brought something else back from the 90s: hypercolor t-shirts. The renewed technology is referred to as the Thermochromatic Sheer Jersey T-Shirt. If you don’t recall this product from your childhood, the hypercolor t-shirt changes color with heat. The white sections represent warm spots. Suddenly, breathing heavily into your shirt becomes great fun for the wearer and observer.
This unisex thermochromatic t-shirt is available at American Apparel online for $28.00 in 4 rad colors: Hyper Gold Orange, Hyper Vermillion (shown above), Hyper Green and Hyper Fast-Blue. Even if your hypercolor shirt from years ago still functions because you never put it in the dryer–Will Boyd–perhaps you need another.

OMG! Look, I have a style that basically consists of jeans and tank tops, which is hardly cutting edge or even terribly interesting. So, maybe I was wrong to think this was a weird trend the first time round and even more wrong for not being thrilled it worked its way back into our wardrobes.
