The evolution of the T-shirt is an interesting one that began in the 19th century as undergarments and slowly evolved into an acceptable outergarment and today is the most commonly worn article of clothing and a staple in every wardrobe (you can argue me on this but let's be realistic - who doesn't own one?). It has even become one of the most powerful mediums for dissemination of information and expression in post-modern culture.
However, I never thought I would see the day that the T-shirt became acceptable eveningwear attire, and alas, Jil Sander (SS 2011) took it in that direction. While it is arguable that these outfits are intended to be worn as eveningwear, they certainly are headed that way.

This makes me think of Sharon Stone and all the kerfuffle that arose when she wore a Gap t-shirt to the Oscars.
