Dress them up or dress them down, t-shirts will always be around. Small, large, kinky or casual, pink blue yellow or purple, they are such fun items and so many to choose from. But having so much choice can be a bit problematic when it comes to choosing the right one for you. Here are some helpful pointers.

How they came about. In the nineteenth century, people used to where undergarments called unisuits. When they were eventually cut in half to separate the top from the bottom, this is how the t-shirt first came about. The US navy then made them popular in the Spanish American war. They were also used as icons of protest during the second world war.

Different types. T-shirts are plain garments, usually buttonless with short sleeves and no collar. There are so many different types to choose from. There is the basic white tee, that can make anyone look good in a pair of jeans. So many celebrities have been photographed in this type. Some of them have cheeky protest slogans, some are plain and some have hand painted designs. They can be designed in so many creative ways. You can also get some with different necklines. They can be tight or loose fitting.

Colors. Depending on your complexion and personality, choose a colour that suits you. Color is important to remember when choosing your clothing. For example, light colours stand out better on people with darker tones. If you are of a pale tone, avoid light colours as they will make you look even more pale. Go for darker shades. Bright colours can make a statement and attract attention if that is your intention. Complicated or floral prints often clash. So try to keep it simple for a cleaner look. You can mix and match to get the most out of your clothing. Wear blue jeans with almost any colour.

Body figure. It is recommended that you wear clothing that complements your figure. Tight, clingy clothes will emphasize your bulges and will be uncomfortable and unflattering. Baggy clothes will make you look bigger than you really are. Buy a size that fits your body comfortably.

Formal or informal occasions. Actors and actresses are often seen at different occasions dressed in casual tees. You can wear them with Capri pants and sneakers for a sporty event or you can dress them up for an evening occasion with a smart jacket and glitzy accessories.

Wash and wear. It is really easy to wash these garments because they are so simple. They are usually made with very user friendly fabric that is also durable. Just put them into your washing machine as long as they do not have any special parts like sequins that are bound to come off. Read the label. They are also easy to iron but beware of prints.

They are fun, they are sexy, and we all need them. So call a friend and use these tips to shop for the right kind of t-shirts for you.
