T-shirts and Youth can’t be separated for many reasons. T-Shirts and life can’t be separated ever. T-shirts are the way of life. It’s a way of expression. It’s a way of attitude. This attitude led to various designs, quotes and expressions on t-shirts. Everyone wants his/her T-shirt to be the funkiest. It’s the way to make your statement.

I can’t write more about t-shirts. You can read about them on Wikipedia here. I want to share here some websites which provide you with the best of T-shirts with wacky designs,  funky slogans and whatever you want on them i.e. customized according to you. Not only T-shirts but some have goods like sweatshirts, caps, mugs, mouse pads, key chains, posters, laptop stickers etc .,So here is the list of some websites which are best in my list. Some are start ups too.

I am surrounded by Idiots

The first time I got to know about a company which provides customized t-shirts is Pringoo.

Pringoo is totally user created designs. It wants to promote creativity and artists and help them to show their creative designs and also make money simultaneously if their designs sell. Users can set up their own online Pringoo stores and sell their designed t-shirts and other custom gifts. This is indeed a good idea, as the owner of the creative intellectual is getting paid here. But almost all customized online t-shirt selling companies are doing the same. But Pringoo has got an edge I think. It has a section called College Ambassador. Its motto is to promote Entrepreneurship in students by giving various opportunities to become a face of Pringoo at various events in their college. It has got a good number of colleges in their list. But I don’t know how much success it is making. I hope this is very useful and wonderful opportunity for students across India to enhance their skills. If you are a student then do give a try. Pringoo has also got a section dedicated to twitter fans and it also runs various contests on twitter giving away goodies. Follow them @pringoo

The second in my list is Myntra

Myntra is also almost like Pringoo. Customized designed t-shirts from users. t also got features like users can design and sell their designs. But one thing I liked about Myntra is look and feel of the site compared to Pringoo. It excites to browse more. They have best of designs on their homepage when compared to Pringoo. Pringoo must focus on this I think. But it’s their choice of positioning .But still they can consider this point. Myntra diversifying its offering to marble, canvas, glass, wood etc. Bulk orders on these websites have discounts. Try to go for bulk. Follow @myntracom

The third on my list is Inkfruit

Inkfruit has got one of the best t-shirts designs when I compare with Pringoo and Myntra. IF has got a good eye smoothing design of their website. It’s more like threadless website. But anyways the first feel of Inkfruit is quite good. It’s a start up and it’s growing its operations slowly. It’s also have a partnership kinda thing where you can create store online and sell like the above two.Follow them @inkfruit

The fourth one is BlueBustTees

Bluebusttees is a Mumbai based simple and elegant T-shirt provide. Its not user customized designs so it has got some less designs. But it too has a good line of collection like parents approved, parents disapproved, poker, bollywood etc. You will like this one definitely no matter what are you looking for. It has got a different positioning than the above three. Follow them @bluebustees

Now if you want some Desi stuff by some Videsi people from Videsh. Look at these sites…

The above Desi stuff sites really cool to stand out and make a statement.

Let me share with you one International best store too that is Threadless. It’s a user generated designs from all over the world. It’s the best I think. Follow them @threadless
