Men's T-shirts: stylish models and secrets of choice

Men's T-shirts were originally conceived as an element of underwear: they were worn under a shirt in order to hide chest hair and provide additional thermal protection. Today, this function is a thing of the past: modern T-shirts are presented in a wide variety of styles, colors and prints. Let's dwell on the description of the most stylish varieties and get acquainted with the rules for choosing the optimal models.

A tank top is a functional garment that is designed to retain heat, maintain natural body ventilation, and protect against excessive perspiration. This garment has many advantages:

• only natural fabric is used for sewing t-shirts, so they are very light and comfortable to wear;
• in cold weather, T-shirts provide additional protection against freezing;
• in the heat, the T-shirt allows you to create an air gap, thereby cooling the body;
• products are of low cost, so anyone can afford such clothes.

There are several basic varieties of men's T-shirts that can be grouped into four groups.

• Classic. These are traditional tees and are worn under the shirt as underwear for comfort and warmth. Can be used as an independent wardrobe item.

• Sports. Such models are relevant among men who prefer tracksuits. These T-shirts are made from the highest quality fabrics that have the ability to absorb moisture and provide good thermoregulation.

• Beach. The most open models, which fully meets the needs of the body on hot days during outdoor activities.

• Hooded. Stylish models that you can safely wear for walking around the city.

For the manufacture of men's T-shirts, manufacturers do not focus on natural materials, but on fabrics with a slight addition of synthetic fiber. Such clothes are practical, comfortable to wear, and at the same time elastic and flexible. Linen, cotton and rayon are most commonly used.

• Cotton. This is the best material for sewing T-shirts, completely natural and hypoallergenic. Cotton T-shirts are pleasant to the body and have a long service life. However, 100% cotton itself is tough, non-stretching, so up to 10% synthetics are added to it.

• Viscose. Pleasant and delicate fabric, the properties of which are reminiscent of cotton: the material has good breathability and hygroscopicity. Viscose T-shirts in hot weather give a feeling of coolness and are very pleasant to the body. However, this material has a light, unobtrusive shine, so viscose T-shirts will be optimal for creative young men who like to create bold bows.

• Jersey jersey. This material is obtained by uniform weaving. It usually contains cotton, woolen threads, polyester, and blended fibers. The more elastane in their composition, the more stringy the fabric will be.

• Ribbon jersey. Another type of cotton fabric with the addition of synthetic threads. Lycra, elastane and polyester are commonly used - up to 5%. The blade is durable and highly resistant to wear.

• Linen. It is a natural material that is highly breathable and hygroscopic, durable and hypoallergenic.Such T-shirts are optimal for summer wardrobe, in hot weather they are very convenient and comfortable.

Polyester is distinguished from synthetic fibers. It is a polyester fabric that has excellent shape retention. The fiber is resistant to external influences, it does not roll or deform, so such T-shirts will delight you with their appearance for a long time. Their only drawback is the ability to absorb moisture, so you can wear such things only in the cool season as part of a multilayer ensemble.

Traditionally the sizes of men's T-shirts indicate in two formats:

• Russian - in this case, the size is indicated in numbers;
• international - Latin letters from S to L. are used to indicate the size.

Please note that in different countries, T-shirts of the same size may imply completely different parameters of the figure, especially when it comes to Chinese products. When buying imported products, be sure to familiarize yourself with the original tables. The sizes of T-shirts adopted in Russia and most European countries are the same, but in Italy and the USA they have their own standards. So, if a man with OG 122-125 cm in our country acquires things of 62 sizes, then in the USA it will be 56, and in Italy - 60. In accordance with international marking, this parameter will be designated XXXL.

Besides, when buying a T-shirt, it is necessary to take into account the features of the physique... So, a T-shirt of a suitable size often fits too tightly the body of skinny men - in this case, it is better to buy clothes “with a margin”. The advice is also useful for full representatives of the stronger sex: they should also choose a spacious model so that it hides all figure flaws.

The shade decision is one of the most important criteria for choosing men's T-shirts, since wearing items of irrelevant colors can ruin the overall impression of the bow. T-shirts, which play the role of underwear, are traditionally sewn in white shades, but for models used as part of a fashionable ensemble, the color palette is different.

Such things will be wearable, breathable, lightweight and at the same time stretchable. Let's take a look at some more tips.

• Pay attention to the seams: they must be even, no protruding threads, displacements and bends are allowed. Poor quality will also be indicated by missing seams.
• Run your palm over the shirt. Touching should be comfortable, since you will have to wear such clothing on your body.
• Stretch out a small section of fabric and look at the light. It should run as evenly as possible, any presence of alternating areas directly indicates uneven weaving.

The stylish T-shirt can be worn as a separate piece of clothing. It is usually paired with ripped jeans, shorts and summer capris. In a similar manner, you can go on vacation or walk around the city on a hot summer day. However, you should not visit theaters, museums, as well as business events in this form, since these clothes do not fit into the framework of the business and classic style.
