Wear Your Love For Seth Cohan On Your Tee
Nylon would like to remind us that it’s not love unless declared across your apparel. In an Instagram post Wednesday advertising the mag’s Nylon Shop deal-of-the-day, a “Seth Cohen Was My First Love” tee, the pop culture and fashion glossy instantly brought me back to my grammar school days when girls (myself included) declared their undying love for Justin Timberlake and Brad Pitt by writing in “I heart Justin” on notebooks and wearing t-shirts displaying the Fight Club heartthrob‘s face across their chest.
No matter how popular the man crush Monday tradition gets, nothing can come between a fan girl and her man crush clothing, accessories, office supplies and coffee mugs. Nothing I tell you!
I remember my fourteenth birthday like it was yesterday. I had been obsessing over Sixteen Candles as if it were a new flick. I dreamed of a boy sweeping me off my feet after Sunday service and kissing me awkwardly over my candle-lit cake. This, unfortunately, never happened — but dreaming about it was made easier when I opened my sister's gift to me, an “I love Jake Ryan” graphic tee that I wore to bed every night until I moved on to Pretty in Pink.
