We've seen shirts that fake preppy and business apparel, but these handcuff shirts fake a badass situation, for lack of better words.

The T-shirts are part of an [ad campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legitimate-you) for radio station, [Kiss FM](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/presson-nails) and were created by LongPlay 360 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

It's a great [promotional shirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-wearhouse). Many guys that would think these shirts are hilarious, and surely a lot of people would gladly parade around wearing them in public, acting as walking billboards for Kiss FM. Clever and fun!
