"T-shirt" un capo d'abbigliamento che ha accompagnato la storia

"T-shirt" an item of clothing that accompanied history

Have you ever wondered where the English name T-shirt comes from to indicate t-shirts? Trivially it derives from the T-shaped shape given by the short sleeves, crew neck and straight bust cut. The T-shirt knows no time or season, it is gender free because it fits both men and women well, for a casual or refined look it depends on the accessory or item you combine it with: sneakers, flip-flop sandals, slippers, heeled shoes , belt, backpack and women's backpack, shorts or trousers etc. We find T-shirts with long, short or three-quarter sleeves.

The history of this garment has its roots in the ancient Etruscans and has reached the present day, becoming part of the informal and casual clothing worn first by workers during working hours for its comfort and subsequently in the second half of the twentieth century as identifying leader of the young generations as an expression of their being and cultural identity.

During the Second World War the T-Shirt was adopted by the US armed forces as part of the military uniform and consequently spread throughout Europe.

It had a further boost throughout the world thanks to film stars such as: Marlon Brando and James Dean, authentic icons, definitively entering contemporary fashion as a timeless "must" which is still periodically revisited and reinterpreted today as a means of communicating ideas and points of view, through prints of images and/or slogans that are universally significant.

Ever since we were young, the T-shirt has been considered much more than a simple item of clothing. It represents a mirror of the wearer's mood, personality, interests, a story to tell, a memory to share. Everyone remembers their teenage years when they felt the need for an identity mirror in which to recognize themselves and in this, T-shirts made history with the possibility they offered and still offer to represent prints on them that make you feel part of something bigger than us, they give you the feeling of being ready to conquer the world.
