T-Shirts

A T-shirt, or tee shirt, is a style of fabric shirt! named after the T shape of its body and sleeves. Traditionally! it has short sleeves and a round neckline! known as a crew neck, which lacks a collar. T-shirts generally made of a stretchy, light, and inexpensive fabric and are easy to clean. The first manufactured t-shirt invented between the Mexican-American War! in 1898, and 1913 when the U.S. Navy began issuing them as standard undershirts. The T-shirt evolved from undergarments used in the 19th century! and, in the mid-20th century! transitioned from undergarment to general-use casual clothing.

T-Shirts typically made of cotton textile in a stockinette or jersey knit! which has a distinctively pliable texture compared to shirts made of woven cloth. Some modern versions have a body made from a continuously knitted tube! produced on a circular knitting machine! such that the torso has no side seams. Great T-shirts have always been a staple in every wardrobe. Essential for staying fresh! while working out, keeping cozy! while lounging, and, now, making a fashion statement! the best t-shirts are more useful than ever. Well-dressed execs are rocking premium tees with a suit! while hypebeasts sport plain white T-shirts to showcase grail-worthy sneakers and accessories. In short, everyone seems to be upping their T-shirt game.

This T-shirt renaissance would have sounded insane a few decades ago. Stand-alone tees used to be a pillar of counterculture fashion, stylishly protesting the collard shirt corporate world. But once Brando and Dean donned their white tees in A Streetcar Named Desire and Rebel Without a Cause, respectively, the T-shirt changed for good.
