Nylon's Coffee Culture Tee Sums Up Your Addiction

Congratulations on getting through mournful Monday, but now it’s Tuesday and you’re plugging away to make it to middle-of-the-week Wednesday which is almost thirsty Thursday which is basically Friday… right? Nylon magazine's deal of the day is a coffee culture tee that totally understands your pain. The shirt defines the embroidered-in-bold term "depresso" as simply “when you are out of coffee.” What is life without caffeine — and clothing that clearly labels you an addict?

Every time I go shopping, without fail, I gravitate toward any and every graphic tee that is pro coffee culture. An addict myself, I feel the need to exploit my infatuation with caffeine. It all started when my mom would pour me a baby cup on Sunday mornings when I was five years old. When I hit high school, holding a Starbucks cup was an instant initiation into the hipster/artsy crowd. I always have been a writer, after all, and you know what they say about artists and their vices — we just can’t shake them.

Once college came around, forget it. Coffee was my lifeline. My number one push to get through an all-nighter of cramped hands and textbook browsing eyeballs and my pick me up in the AM hours.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but nothing says “rough morning” like a venti Americano from Starbucks or extra large iced coffee from Dunkin'. No camera at the ready? Coffee pot empty? Have no fear, graphic tees are here to inform the world of our morning woes and caffeine addiction.
