Men's T-shirts

The men's t-shirt or endless possibilities

The T-shirt is arguably the most versatile piece in a man's wardrobe. This essential, originally worn as underwear, now holds pride of place in every wardrobe. Whether you're looking for a long-sleeved or short-sleeved T-shirt, with a crew neck, V-neck, or button-down, a plain or patterned T-shirt, the possibilities are truly endless.

But what are the origins of this basic item of men's clothing?

The men's T-shirt as we know it today first appeared in the 19th century, worn as underwear by workers and working-class men. Its name is directly linked to its T-shaped cut. Comfortable, practical, and easy to wash, this garment was quickly adopted by the American military, particularly by US Navy officers from 1913. It was these same officers who contributed to its popularity in the 1920s, when the word "t-shirt" finally entered the dictionary, and our wardrobes.

How to choose the right clothing?

It may seem obvious, but choosing your clothing shouldn't be taken lightly. Some styles will be better suited to certain body types than others. Here are two essential criteria to consider to ensure you never go wrong:

1. Size

Too tight or too short, a garment can quickly show a certain lack of elegance. While this essential piece of clothing can be the perfect ally for subtly highlighting your muscles, tight-fitting styles should be avoided at all costs. The same goes for oversized styles. Men's long T-shirts don't flatter any figure. The right style has a straight cut that hugs your sides and a length that falls just below the waistband.

2. The collar

Choosing between the three neckline styles—round, V-neck , and button-down—will be more about style than body type. Try on several styles and choose the one that best flatters your figure while providing style and comfort.

The V-neck version

Both classic and elegant, it's now an ultra-trendy clothing style. This ultra-basic piece can be worn alone when the good weather arrives or under an open denim or plaid shirt. A white V-neck T-shirt will go perfectly with a denim shirt and a camel cardigan when the temperatures drop. It can be worn both on weekends and during the week at work for a more understated look.

What body type should a men's V-neck T-shirt be suitable for? Choose a V-neck top if you have a narrow or small neck. It will refine your silhouette and highlight your face. If you have an I-shaped figure or a very slim body type, this may not be the best choice. It will overly flatter your figure and give the impression that you're "floating" in the middle of your garment.

The Round Neck version

It is the ultimate iconic piece of the men's wardrobe. Classic, comfortable and elegant, it transcends styles, eras and fashions. Available as a men's printed T-shirt or as a plain t-shirt , the round neck t-shirt can be combined with all your outfits. Worn casually with jeans, it will bring you comfort and relaxation without sacrificing style. For a slightly more trendy look, it is possible to combine it with chino pants. However, be careful with color combinations. We will then avoid the all-black look (too sad, too dull). Also avoid looks that are too contrasting, for example a white men's t-shirt with jeans or black chinos.

3. The material

The Cotton T-Shirt

Cotton can therefore be colored (plain) or printed. The printed t-shirt offers that touch of fantasy and originality capable of transcending your look.

The four essential men's t-shirt models
Having a diverse selection of cuts in your wardrobe allows you to vary your looks and express your personality every day. Here are four must-have T-shirt styles that are a must-have in your collection.

The classic t-shirt

Whether plain or enhanced with small details, such as a contrasting chest pocket, the classic short-sleeved t-shirt is easy to wear and easy to combine. Choose it in essential colors, which blend perfectly with different shades such as white, gray, black, and navy blue. You can combine your black t-shirt man at will with your jeans, chinos and Bermuda shorts for example.
How to Pair a White T-Shirt: This is probably the easiest to pair. Its neutral color will go with all your clothes. However, avoid tone-on-tone (very light pants and a white t-shirt).
How to Associate a Gray t-shirt : The gray t-shirt can be combined with warm and cool colors. It will go very well with denim, light chinos, or slightly rolled-up denim worn with sneakers.

The Black T-Shirt

Both understated and neutral, it won't necessarily be the easiest to match. While it's possible to wear it tone-on-tone, avoid this combination if you have very fair skin. The classic pairing with denim is obviously a safe bet.

The printed (graphic) t-shirt

The printed t-shirt, also called a graphic t-shirt or patterned t-shirt, allows you to add personality to your outfits. Printed with a logo, decorated with embroidery, or animated by an all-over pattern, this t-shirt model with incredibly varied renderings is to be favored for a casual look. To highlight it, we prefer to associate it with plain pieces. Often this type of original men's t-shirt is a reflection of your personality. Thus, a wide variety of patterns exists, you will have no trouble finding the printed t-shirt you want.

For a sophisticated and original look, you can easily match this type of t-shirt with a solid-colored suit jacket (avoid patterned jackets as much as possible), wear it under a denim shirt or even a jean jacket.

The long-sleeved t-shirt

Less well-known than its little brother, the short-sleeved t-shirt, and not to be confused with the long-sleeved polo shirt, it will be your best ally in mid-season or in the heart of winter. Easily worn under a sweater or cardigan, it can also be worn alone. The long-sleeved t-shirt combo worn under a short-sleeved t-shirt is no longer fashionable today.
