The geek-chic movement has been a huge phenomenon for the past decade, and now, with these shirts from the LC23 SS11 T-Shirt Collection, you can be stylish while wearing cutesy illustrations of hipster dorks.

The LC23 SS11 T-Shirt Collection comes in a variety of illustrations, each featuring [anime-esque characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yu-yu-hakusho-x-graniph) sporting some alternative threads. Both male and female characters sport some [stylish glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animeinspired-glasses) and I think it was a smart choice not to make them wear wayfarers since they're extremely played out. I'm overly pleased with the final graphics on these t-shirts, but to top it all off, they seem really comfortable to wear.

You can purchase your own LC23 SS11 t-shirt over on the Italian LC23 website for $71.
