I doubt you will ever find someone who does not have a cool tee shirt in his or her wardrobe somewhere. Not only are they comfortable but they are inexpensive and can be worn alone or layered with other clothing. They add variety to any wardrobe. They can be playing, stylish, decorative or have a witty message on them.

Picking the perfect T-shirt involves more than the color, picture or message that may be on it. To find the perfect T-shirt need to concentrate on more than these things. Your basic T-shirt is a boxy style and made to be comfortable and not flattering. This is not what you are looking for.

This type of boxy style makes it easy for men to pick up their T-shirts. Women are more apt to look for the tailored style with or without fancy necklines. You mainly need to keep in mind body style when picking out the perfect T-shirt, whether that perfect T-shirt is for you or someone else.

The one thing that has changed in the T-shirt over the years has been the neckline. Many women prefer the V style and neckline because it elongates the neck and draws the eye downward. Just keep in mind, if you happen to be one of those women with broad shoulders you want to avoid wide necklines.

You also want to look at the length of the T-shirt. You can find T-shirts to come down to your waist or down to your knees. The sleeve length may vary as well depending on the season. Depending on the length of your arm you may want to three-quarter or the cap sleeve, which will make short arms appear longer.

Nevertheless, color, picture and messages should also be taken into account. Only you can make the choice when considering these because you know what color you look good in as well as what picture or message reflects your personality. Graffiti tee shirts and music tee shirts would be styles considered as personal preferences.

Remember, you can find that perfect T-shirt! Just keep in mind body style, body and arm length, and personal preferences. You are looking for something that flatters your body that is not too tight or too loose and is comfortable to wear all day (or night) long. Good luck!

2) You want your cool tee shirt to have a certain flair that brings attention to yourself. The T-shirt means getting more attention by those around you.

If you expect the shirt to be an attention getter and let your personality do the rest, then you are on your way. If you just expect your shirt to do the talking, then the joke may be on you, since it is the first impression of you that others have and it may be the wrong impression.

3) Depending on what the current “social standards” are, a few people may make fun of you and/or what you are wearing. With being a rebel, it comes with the territory.

Remember back in the 1950s that white T-shirt your father used to where on weekends to relax in? That blank T-shirt was the first tee to become iconic. Stretched over the flexible torsos of the original 1950s teen rebels Marlon Brando, James Dean and Elvis Presley. They did not need anything on their T-shirts to establish their personalities.

That vivid blankness has erotically symbolized a new generation and that seemed threatening and demonstrative. The plain white T-shirt did not last long. Pop-art, rock tours and festivals to be memorialized, rock stars to be deified, records that needed to be sold, all meant that, by the end of the 1960s, the rock T-shirt would be crowded with colors, images, faces and manifestos.

The tee shirts did the talking, with occasional pieces of text that mourn a time long gone. The revolution was put on a cool T-shirt and turned into a multi-million-dollar business. They allowed the youth to express their feelings and to show their personality.

Today is rarely no different, except that T-shirts are worn every day and not just as casual wear. Today the T-shirt is a work shirt, a play shirt, a swim shirt, an anything you want short because it expresses who you are.

The idea that underwear was an essential part of one’s wardrobe did not exist a century ago. Dr. Gustav Jaeger convinced a nation in 1880 that regularly washed underwear might be a good thing. In the 19th century folks got by with the “nightshirt”, which was not much more than an extended shirt or shortened dress.

Hanes introduced two-piece men’s underwear for a catalogue sale in 1901. In 1913, the Navy that accidentally started the revolution of underwear by issuing a revolutionary new item to its sailors. The idea was to avoid exposing an appropriate body parts with its V-necked uniforms. The Navy issued a garment that featured short sleeves, a “crew” neckline and a vaguely “T”-shaped silhouette. Later it was shortened to T-shirt. Today, V-necked T-shirts are once again popular.

Just imagine, the price of the T-shirt was $.24 during World War I. And because of the Navy it became a very popular item. By World War II the trend had spread to 12 + million men who were wearing the Navy’s newer, less expensive, shirt. Later, they became known as “skivvies.” The nation grew thrilled to view newsreel images of wartime patriots barely dressed. Even at this early point in its existence the T-shirt became an empty canvas upon which anyone might project his or her sexual fantasies. It allowed individuals to indulge in “showing gender” and the “erotic presentation of the self” in the words of Guggenheim magazine’s Deborah Drier

The T-Shirt have become the one garment capable of displaying class, sexual orientation, culture and the advertising of same. Though 180 million were sold in 1951, the T-shirt’s meteoric rise can be traced to many things American, like the movies.

You can thank actors like Marlon Brando’s (1951) whose brutish portrayal of the lovelorn Stanley Kowalski riveted a nation in “A Streetcar Named Desire” as Brando’s buff pecs and abs were revealed in graphic relief by a thin, stretched tee shirt.

The T-shirt goes its rebellious rock ‘n ‘ roll roots to James Dean as he mumbled his anti-authoritarian way through Rebel Without a Cause (1955). Hippies Wearing Tie-Dyed T-Shirts took on the “Establishment” in Easy Rider (1969), while the Sexual Revolution of the ’70s was given form via Jacqueline Bisset’s wet tee in The Deep (1977). Even the ’80s received its own signifier with Don Johnson’s get-up in Miami Vice. It’s most recent tee-film is Mission: Impossible (1996), with a pretty, synthetic-tee-clad Tom Cruise hanging from a wire in order to do some serious downloading.

The potential for the T-shirt as a human billboard was not recognized by the advertising world for a while. The military, the innovator, caught on first. About the same time, Ivy League schools caught on to the idea of clarifying the pecking order in the fraternities on T-shirts. The first corporate-advertising tee shirt did not appear until the ’60s, when Budweiser featured a can of Bud on the company’s T-shirts. The advertising world finally caught on a in terms of their demographics, especially the captive market of college students. Students began to wear music T-shirts of bands, cool psychedelic T-shirts and today graffiti T-shirts.

Today, rock T-shirt sales are a $500 million business. If you are a tweaker wearing the leaf (cannabis) T-shirt, or an outcast draped in the latest Goth-wear, the tee continues to be the transmitter of instant cultural/psychological affiliation. The T-shirt is everywhere. With the advent of inexpensive printers and appropriate software, the T-shirt has become an equalizing mode of expression. And since anything can be printed on a T-shirt by most anyone, it has not lost its ability to shock. Or even to annoy.
