A T-shirt is a type of garment that is generally casual in nature. It covers the upper half of the body and comes in a variety of designs. They can be worn under a suit as well, which is, of course, a personal preference.
T-shirts are made from fabric that is soft and comfortable. Generally, T-shirts come with either a matt finish look (where the weave of the garment can be seen ) or with a smooth finish look. And, of course, they look like the letter ‘T’, which is where they get their name.
Matt finish types are known to be able to retain their shape when washed and come in mostly solid colors or prints with bold colors. Smooth finish T-shirts can be painted on, embroidered on, and printed on with ease. They come in a variety of colors and in all kinds of styles.
T-shirts can be full-sleeved, thick and warm with a high collar for very cold climes and short with no sleeves for hotter climes. These are just two styles, but there are worlds of T-shirts in between.
The fabric used for T-shirts is usually able to hold dyes well, and, hence, they are available in a wide range of colors, from bright fluorescent to pastel shades.
T-shirts with large armholes for better movement are otherwise known as construction T-shirts. Some styles are named after a sport they are connected with, such as the golf shirt and the rugby shirt.
For ladies, T-shirts can be cropped at the waist or long for sleeping. They can also have collars and buttons, and there is no limit to the varieties that are available.
T-Shirts are worn for comfort and pleasure. They come with pictures, logos, funny one-liners, cartoons, prints, embroidery and whatever else the wearer likes.
