It is as grungy as it was in the past with tattered sleeves, torn seams, and in medium or lighter washes to achieve a faded look.

Plaid or striped shirts over tees
Another relic of the past, roughly 20 years back, that has staged a comeback is the open plaid or stripe shirt with a tee underneath. For 2012, though, the checks are smaller while the colors are more subtle. For stripe shirts, thinner strips will be hot rather than the bolder wider stripes.

The secret to wearing this trend is the proper mixing of colors and designs so as not to look too busy or messy. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

Even suits were made with crop pants, which is not a welcome idea for the work place but perfect for play.
