T-shirts were originally worn as underwear, and now the most common way to wear them is as the only clothes on the upper body (women may wear bras underneath). T-shirts are usually decorated with words or patterns. Oversize, short sleeves, sleeveless and so on are all common T-shirt styles.
T-shirt history
During World War I, American soldiers noticed that the cotton underwear used by European soldiers was light and comfortable, while their own soldiers wore wool (cotton) uniforms and sweated profusely. This kind of cotton undershirt immediately became a hot item among American soldiers, and its shape was called a T-shirt. During World War II, T-shirts became the standard underwear of the US Army and Navy.
T-shirts began to appear in the form of coats after World War II. John wayne, Marlon Brando and james deen have all dressed like this on national TV programs. The public was surprised at first, but by 1955, the society began to accept this kind of clothing. James deen's dress in the movie Rebellion Without Cause makes T-shirts fashionable.
T-shirt decoration
In the1960s, T-shirts became the basic clothing for young people and rock music lovers in the western trend. People have also begun to decorate T-shirts by tie-dyeing and screen printing, and women's suspenders, men's vests commonly known as "chicken wing sleeves" in Hong Kong, tight T-shirts and V-necks have gradually become popular.
Since then, T-shirts have become a medium for self-expression and even publicity. The displayed patterns are all-encompassing, which can be words, pictures or even photos.
T-shirt culture
T-shirt is the transliteration name of "T-shirt", which retains the English initials "T". However, this Chinese-English mixed vocabulary doesn't sound so strange. Perhaps it is because T-shirts have penetrated into people's daily lives too deeply, and people tend to ignore those common things.
1. First love
In spring and summer, when gaudy T-shirts float like clouds in the street, who would have thought that T-shirts were originally underwear worn by workers who did heavy manual work? Generally speaking, men's T-shirts are a bit like women's bras now, which are not easy to expose. Only when they put on sleeveless jumpsuits will they show some true colors. At the beginning of the 20th century, T-shirts were only promoted as underwear in the product catalogs of clothing companies. By 1930, although the image of underwear has not changed much, it is obvious that people have begun to try to wear T-shirts outside, which is what we hear as "sailor shirts". Sailors set sail in T-shirts, and the blue ocean and clear sky painted it with the first romantic color.
2. Idol opportunities
When this unremarkable collarless short-sleeved sweater appeared on the screen with the big star Marlon Brando one day, the excited fans were amazed. A Streetcar Named Desire premiered in new york on February 3rd. 1974. What attracts people is not only Marlon Brando's slightly rough masculinity and bad eyes when he smiles, but also the plain white T-shirt. Elie Katzen, the director of this drama, once revealed mysteriously and proudly that the image of Lando T-shirt was not carefully designed in advance, which was a complete accident. It turned out that Brando accidentally wore it to rehearsal. ...
With the release of 195 1 A Streetcar Named Desire in the United States, the image of Brando white T-shirt has become the same name all over the country. Soft and considerate T-shirts liberate the beauty of men from the boring, monotonous and well-behaved traditional upper-class clothing, and the masculine figure is displayed in the field of vision, becoming a replica of the whole country and even the whole world.
3. Rebellious hero
In 1950s, American culture cooperated with Hollywood movies to go to moderns, which virtually promoted the international spread of T-shirt trend. T-shirts, jeans and black leather jackets have created a rebellious hero image, which deeply affects the younger generation and represents the extreme contempt and abandonment of traditional etiquette and high taste. James Dean, wearing a T-shirt and slightly posing as a coat collar, became a great hero in the eyes of rebellious teenagers. In addition, the funny pictures of movie star art carney wearing a white T-shirt and a black vest have deepened people's understanding of the intimate relationship between T-shirts and civilians. Subsequently, a series of movies with the theme of rebellious teenagers adopted T-shirts one after another, which made T-shirts gain unprecedented unique personality and branded with branch culture. Although rebellious characters are often the pre-release of repressed characters in real life, it is one thing to be warmly welcomed in movies, and whether they can be appreciated and imitated by mainstream society is another matter.
In fact, T-shirts were not adopted by a few men as daily clothes, and their comfort and hygiene were gradually praised until they found the role of "screen hooligans" in the film industry.
4. Another kind of madness
The large-scale fashion trend of T-shirts originated in the 1970s. 1973 Women's Fashion Daily Wear Daily claimed that T-shirts were the chief spokesmen of anti-culture in that year. From 65438 to 0975, it is reported that 48 million printed T-shirts flooded the American clothing market, large and small, and this trend has been maintained for many years. The patterns and words on a T-shirt can be printed as long as you can think of them. Humorous advertisements, satirical pranks, self-deprecating ideals, shocking desires and unrestrained modes are all venting. For this seemingly unstoppable trend, some people criticize the attempt to achieve some goals by copying T-shirts as naive. The author sarcastically wrote: "If people don't want to listen to you, how can we expect them to listen to your T-shirt?"
The Development and Present Situation of T-shirts
In any case, waves of young people have grown up, but their enthusiasm for T-shirts has not subsided, and the strange prints on T-shirts are no worse than in the past. As far as the material of T-shirt is concerned, various superfine fibers, high-elastic fibers and polymer composites have replaced the original single cotton. T-shirts are worn by people of all ages and are also favored by women.
In 1950s and 1960s, in order to pursue comfort, people randomly blurred the functionality and categories of clothing, resulting in casual clothing. What is casual wear? Refers to the general name of clothes worn in spare time and leisure time after work, including country clothes, seaside clothes, sightseeing clothes, fitness sportswear and so on. It is a kind of relaxed, concise and unrestrained clothing. T-shirts are one of them, and we also call them "cultural shirts" in our lives.
T-shirts, as casual clothes, have appeared in every corner of the world, and their symbolic significance of anti-traditional culture and anti-system has faded. T-shirts are naturally a good partner for jeans and jackets, but there is nothing wrong with them in leisure suit. You can't list what clothes a T-shirt can match, but what it can't match. T-shirts are very popular It's full of civilians. During the period of 1998, most actors used T-shirts as costumes to show their sympathy for the people in the disaster area. T-shirts are the most fashionable. CK and Ralph Lauren have repeatedly used T-shirt male models as fashion advertising images. Girls with hair dyed, sponge cake mushrooms and G-shock watches on the street also like to wear short and tight psychedelic T-shirts.
It is worth mentioning that no matter how fashionable the prints and new fiber T-shirts are, white cotton T-shirts are still very popular, especially in a certain period in the 1980s. It is said that that white T-shirt reminds people of the 1950s, and the youth time will haunt me forever.
The structural design of T-shirts is simple, and the style changes are usually in neckline, hem, cuffs, color, pattern, fabric, modeling and so on. T-shirts are divided into three forms: sleeve type, vest type and open abdomen type. T-shirts are the most active type of summer clothes. From home clothes to fashion clothes, T-shirts can be freely matched. As long as you choose the bottoms with the same style, you can wear popular styles and different moods.
Early T-shirts were large in size, and when paired with short skirts, shorts or jeans, the whole combination presented a healthy and energetic feeling. In recent years, small T-shirts that fit well have become popular, replacing large T-shirts, and are closely accompanied by short skirts, shorts and tights, which sing the main theme of summer clothes. This combination can fully show the beautiful figure of women, especially the T-shirt with bare abdomen, which can show the youthful and healthy vitality and is a popular style in summer.
