 Mika Jaymes - are they #1 when it comes to white tees? That's for you to decide but what I will say is that they are in the top 10 in my opinion. Mika Jaymes is a L.A. Based company that has taken comfort, style and made their own uniqueness...I recently purchased my first tee from them and love it... The One Loose Tee I Like :) I tend to rock tight, fitted or muscle tees primarily. Mainly because those match well with any pant, short or jogger. However, I've been searching for a loose tee a long time now. Loose tees normally have sh*tty quality or the bottom cut comes down to the knees which is not cool to me. But this Mika Jaymes tee is cut at perfect length.   I truly believe the #whiteteeonly movement and style is timeless. I get a little crap due to wearing the same top daily, but hey we must do what makes us happy in fashion. There is no fashion crime to be had here. Mesh that with the #loosebelt and there is no telling me nothing. I often get asked "Soc, did you really clear your closet and only wear white tees?" the answer is YEEEESSSSS. I did this because I was tired of the societal standards of what people say "high fashion" is. The cost to achieve these social media and celebrity standards is ridic. And more than anything, I wanted men, especially short men to know that we are all cool and awesome in our own way.   Lot's or Pro's but there was 1 ConFirst a foremost, I really LOVE this product and like their white tees greatly. But I have to point out one thing that stood out to me. And that is the lack of diversity on the website and within the display. Maybe it was intentional, perhaps they worked with a marketing and advertising company who positioned their visual layout to them - BUT there was no representation of color on the site. I can't leave that unspoken. Personally, I do look towards brands that are inclusive and have diversity as a common part of their brand. This leads me to another point of contention with my #whiteteeonly movement. That first word of the movement is not just about the shirt color, but I purposely cite it because I'm not caucasian. As crazy as it sounds, I appreciate being an african american all while branding my chosen wardrobe life with White Tee shirts. The juxtaposition is awesome and nothing is better than mixing, meshing and blending white/black together. So I truly hope the founder and designer of Mika Jaymes adds a bit more inclusiveness and diversity to their brand and how it is logistically showcased to the public. I also plan on reaching out to the company directly to share this tidbit of constructive criticism. Hopefully, they see it as a friendly view point from someone who likes their clothes. In closing, the price point is on the high end, but for the quality, and selection of their tee shirts, I think it's well worth it. Follow Me!!!
