Key fashion trends of the season: Men's T-shirts

At D&G they always do a very nice line in retro print T-shirts, which is easier said than done. Logo T-shirts can be a disaster waiting to happen and generally, particularly in the case of slogans, best avoided. Let us guide you through this sartorial minefield with our pick of the best retro styles T-shirt, £95 From dandgstore.com Chinos, £35 From topman.com Sandals, £39.99 By Poste from office.co.uk Photographer: Patrick Small Fashion editors: Jo Jones and Helen Seamons Hair and makeup: Juliana Sergot Fashion assistant: Melanie Wilkinson Model: James Sorrentino at M&P models Photograph: Patrick Small Photograph: guardian.co.uk T-shirt, £29 Modern and retro all rolled into one: a traditional Fair Isle design in digital pixels. It fits nicely into the A/W trend we are calling 'heritage' - more on that in future weeks ...

We like it a lot, so sue us. Erm, actually Mr Lagerfeld, please don't! By Better off dead from endclothing.co.uk Photograph: PR Photograph: guardian.co.uk T-shirt, £150 Hot off the press, this Marc Jacobs collaborative T-shirt with graphic artist duo M/M Paris is inspired by the American flag paintings of Jasper Johns. The micro collection is aptly titled 'I am a star', and includes a shirt, scarf and a cashmere version of this T-shirt in grey By Marc Jacobs; email: [email protected] Photograph: PR Photograph: guardian.co.uk T-shirt, £75 As we have already mentioned, keep the jokes on clothing to a minimum, unless you actually want your date to stand you up. This is about as far as you can push it, and only because this is Marc by Marc. Yes, we are label snobs and proud of it Marc by Marc from liberty.co.uk Photograph: PR Photograph: guardian.co.uk T-shirt, £48 The skull print is the granddaddy of T-shirt prints. We like this one because it doesn't try too hard. Comme des Garcons has just shown a collection full of skulls for S/S11, so this puts you ahead of the game By John Varvatos Star USA from matchesfashion.com Photograph: PR Photograph: guardian.co.uk T-shirt, £40 OK, we know, we are breaking our own 'no slogans' rule, BUT we had forgotten about the genius that is Roy from The IT Crowd and his penchant for slogan T-shirts. Roy would love this and that is enough for us - well that and perhaps being trapped in the basement with Roy and Moss By 2K from harveynichols.com Photograph: PR Photograph: guardian.co.uk T-shirt, £10 We like the potato print feel to this polkadot print, and even better it's on sale.
