It might surprise you that the t-shirt was initially designed as an undergarment. However, over time it transformed into a universal and sturdy item in apparel.

According to historians, a t-shirt dates back to the American- Spanish war when the US navy used it as an undershirt. These t-shirts featured crew necks with short sleeves. The resemblance of the shirt gave it the name we use even today – “T-shirt.” This initial version was made of lightweight and cheap cotton. It was easy to clean and thus became a top priority for the dockworkers, miners, farmers, and people in the construction sector. Later it gained popularity among mothers for their sons while playing in the field. In the 1960s, printed tees became a medium for advertisement, social and political campaigns, etc. Today these shirts can be seen everywhere from fashion walks to common bedtimes.

Tips on how to buy T-shirts online in UAE

Although a t-shirt is the simplest of all the clothing items for men and women, buying is tricky. Especially if you are not willing to risk your money, time and efforts invested in the shopping process. The first thing you need to do while shopping for a t-shirt is to kill some myths. The most important one is that “buying a t-shirt is all about the colour – nothing else.” Doing so will end up as a disaster.

  • Check the neckline – Most commonly used necklines in t-shirts are crew neck, V-neck, and Henley. Meanwhile, polo t-shirts with a collar and scoop neck are also in trend — both men and women equally like these styles of t-shirts you need to buy for you.
