The t-shirt has come a long way since it first appeared in the late 19th century. Originally intended to be an undergarment, t-shirts were first manufactured in the late 1800s. The U.S. Navy issued t-shirts as standard undershirts in 1913, and although soldiers and sailors often wore just their t-shirts when they were off-duty, the t-shirt was almost exclusively seen as an undergarment until the 1950s, when movie stars Marlon Brando and James Dean sported their own tees in the blockbuster films, A Streetcar Named Desire and Rebel Without a Cause. These style icons inspired the public to see the potential of the t-shirt as an outerwear item, and since then the t-shirt has become a ubiquitous wardrobe staple.
There’s no doubt that t-shirts are incredibly versatile, and that might be why they’ve remained a must-have item for any wardrobe. T-shirts are comfortable and easy to put on and take off. They can be dressed up, dressed down, and even worn as pajamas. But there’s one more thing about t-shirts that really solidified their relevance – they are a blank canvas!
T-shirts have given a platform for people to express themselves - from supporting their favorite musicians to voicing their political beliefs or supporting local businesses. Companies, charities, and other organizations rely on branded t-shirts as a part of their marketing strategies, because when their customers rock their t-shirts, they’re acting as human billboards for their brand!
