Practically everyone around the world has a diverse collection they have accumulated over the years: sports t-shirts, smart t-shirts, band t-shirts and a collection of t-shirts picked up for free at events. Whether plain, patterned or with a printed design, every t-shirt is unique and can say something different about its wearer. These t-shirts come in many shapes and sizes, too: long sleeve, short sleeve, V-neck t-shirts, tanks. Deciding which t-shirt works best for which situation can be tough!<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the fit of a t-shirt is often overlooked, and it can be just as expressive as the color, pattern or design on it. On some level, we all pay attention to the fit of a t-shirt, and we can make assumptions about the wearer based on the fit.<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent years, we have seen a dramatic shift when it comes to the most common fit of t-shirts. Fashion and culture have played a large role in making<\/span> fitted t-shirts<\/span><\/a>more popular, but <\/span>baggy<\/span> t-shirts still have their place. Choosing the right t-shirt fit is about more than just trends. Let\u2019s explore the pros and cons of <\/span>baggy<\/span> and <\/span>fitted t-shirts<\/span> to help you decide when to choose which fit is best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

T-Shirts: A Quick History and the Original Fit<\/b><\/h2>\n

It may surprise you to learn that the first t-shirts were worn just over 100 years ago. In fact, the first t-shirts evolved from undergarments worn in the late 1800s. The U.S. Navy pioneered the t-shirt, which was originally designed to be worn under uniforms and give its men the option to remove the bulkier parts of their clothing while in warm conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

These first shirts were generally simple \u2014 white and short-sleeved t-shirts. Worn on submarines at first, they allowed the marines to avoid dirtying their uniforms and suffering from the hot conditions. These were normally worn with a tight fit to better capture perspiration. From here, t-shirts rocketed in popularity. Modern factories were capable of rapidly producing these, meaning they were a cheap option of clothing that was also easy to clean and maintain. Workers in many industries began wearing these t-shirts by default. Many credit Marlon Brando\u2019s appearance in<\/span> A Streetcar Named Desire<\/span><\/i><\/a>in 1951 as propelling the plain white t-shirt to a new level of ubiquity.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the years since, t-shirt fronts have become a space for wearers to demonstrate their allegiance to sports teams, express their love for a band or align themselves with a certain style or aesthetic. Perhaps no other piece of clothing has so effectively crossed national and cultural boundaries to cement itself as the<\/span> most popular item of clothing<\/span><\/a>around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n
