T-shirts: The Fashion Classic

Designer and Personalised T-shirts

Is there a more common fashion item as the t-shirt? They seem to be one of the most fundamental building blocks of people's wardrobes, from cheap mass produced items to bespoke designer pieces; t-shirts have become a staple of many high streets. This article will look at t-shirts places in the worlds of fashion and general society, and ask the question that everyone is thinking – why are they so popular? <br/><br/> The t-shirt seems to have been around since the dawn of time, they bear a striking resemblance to underwear garments from the 19th century. It seems that fashions probably changed, suddenly the world is less concerned with layers of clothing, and the comfortable undergarment becomes more acceptable to be seen in public view. Surely this has to be one of the great selling points for t-shirts; they are extremely comfortable while also retaining the possibility of being well tailored. They don't have to appear scruffy, although they do that very well! <br/><br/> There seem to be a whole host of memorable t-shirts, some have become icons for famous political movements or simply societal touch-stones, the meaning behind the design seemingly lost behind the ability to sell a cheap slice of that ethos. Not all t-shirt designs have to be quite so cynical though, in many ways the t-shirt has become a mobile advertising sign. Consumers are perfectly happy to actually hand over money for the privilege of walking round with an advert blazoned across their chest. Surely it could be the company asking if they can give out money?! <br/><br/> There seems to have been a recent upsurge in personalised t shirts that reference common cultural points such as film and TV. What's more, they are now deliberately referring to something very obscure within that reference. The idea is pick out a very small detail within that film, perhaps using a major block-buster film. If there is a fictional company within that film then make a t-shirt that has apparently been made by that company. It serves as a little 'in joke' between the wearer and anyone familiar enough with that film to actually 'get' the reference. <br/><br/> The future for t-shirts looks rosy indeed. With the internet it is now possible for people to get whatever design they want printed. That may be a small band looking to sell some after a gig, or even just a stag or hen party looking to get a cheap group outfit for a weekend's entertainment. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>
