The 6 Best T-Shirt

Table of Contents:

The T-shirt is an All Time Favourite in every wardrobe. No matter whether you’re a hot lover or underestimated in terms of fashion – the T-shirt offers an incredible selection and variety of outfit options. Whether basic look or cool, fresh prints – the T-shirt was never really out or yesterday. It convinces as a genuine, reliable all-rounder that can look casual and sporty as well as chic and stylish. As a white or black shirt with V-neck or round neck it can be combined perfectly with jeans, shorts, leggings or jogging trousers – a relaxed look with which you always look well-groomed everywhere. The T-shirt can also be combined just as well with a blazer or pencil skirt, jacket or creased trousers – anything but casual! White and black T-shirts are all-rounders. But they are also convincing in bright red or trendy pastel. Drapes, fabric inserts or lace details make the T-shirt an eye-catcher.

The T-shirt is a unisex or standard piece of clothing. Its feminine shape or design is the so-called girlie shirt. It captivates with a figure-hugging cut that – unlike the masculine form – fits snugly against the body. In this way it emphasizes the silhouette of the wearer. Most of the T-shirts are made of cotton. But there are also T-shirts made of fabrics such as viscose or polyester. After harvesting, the cotton fibres are cleaned. They are then spun in the spinning mill into a strong, resistant yarn. In the knitting mill the fabric is made from this yarn. During the manufacturing process, parts are punched out of the fabric web and then sewn. These are based on a pattern. The T-shirt is available in all imaginable variations and designs. The colouring takes place in different stages of production. With monochrome T-shirts, the yarn or fabric is usually dyed. In the case of small quantities or numerous different colours, however, it is not unusual for the textile to be dyed only after it has been made up and sewn together. Important: the pre-treatment of the material. Natural cotton is more or less bleached, depending on the desired colour depth. For light or brilliant shades such as pastel or burgundy, the fabric or T-shirt must be bleached white. One colour white is sufficient for darker colours. The size marking of T-shirts is usually done in the international sizes XS, S, M, L, XL and so on.

Women’s fashion: T-Shirt Video Guide

The T-shirt is a garment with short to medium sleeves. Its neckline is usually round or pointed. In the 19th century, T-shirts served only as undershirts. Therefore, it was previously considered immoral and unacceptable to wear it visibly. Nowadays the T-shirt is worn as outerwear during sports or at warm to hot temperatures. The origin of the T-shirt is uncertain, but it is believed that its origin can be traced back to the sailors. For a long time they wore a so-called rigging shirt without a button placket on the front. The short or medium sleeves, on the other hand, are said to come from the men of the navy. The T-shirt became popular after the Second World War – at least in England and the United States of America. In the 1960s it finally reached Germany. In 1948 Thomas Dewey, a US presidential candidate, used it for his motto “Dew it with Dewey”. Absolute and irrevocable fame of the T-shirt only came through James Dean and Marlon Brando in their films “… because they don’t know what they are doing” (1955) and “Endstation Sehnsucht” (1951). Both box-office hits showed rebellious and extremely masculine male figures who quickly made the T-shirt an icon of pop culture. In Europe, by the 1970s and 1980s at the latest, the T-shirt had become a fashionable and everyday item of clothing worn by both women and men.

Nowadays the T-shirt is available in countless shapes, colors and price ranges. Whether with V-neck or round neck, in white or black, blue or red, neon or pastel, cheap or price-intensive – the triumphal march of the T-shirt has only just begun. Manufacturers such as Hanes or Fruit of the Loom offer simple yet high quality T-shirts that can either be worn pure and simple or printed individually. Other manufacturers, such as brand manufacturers such as Tom Tailor or Jack & Jones or renowned, world-renowned designers such as Hugo Boss or Karl Lagerfeld, rely on extravagant colours and details that make the modern T-shirt an indispensable basic and fashion essential.
