A shirt is an upper part garment which has a buttoned front and a collar, along with short or long sleeves. Men's shirts are often paired up with coats or jackets to look more presentable. The trend of wearing shirts under various types of coats dates back to the 17th century. The European people used to wear it (as underwear) under frock coats to protect it from sweat and dirt. Back in those times, shirts (especially white shirts) were closely linked with elite people, which afterwards became the most common in both men's and women's wardrobes in the 20th century. The shirt market expanded significantly because of the George Bryan "Beau" Brummell influence, who helped popularize shirts. Some of the most commonly used fabrics to make shirts are cotton, linen, silk, and polyester.
T-shirts, on the other hand, are also spelled as "tee shirt" and are a fabric style named after their shape. It is one of the types of shirts, which is made from breathable fabric that might have round, V, or U neck patterns. Its inexpensiveness and being easy to clear are what make it a beloved wardrobe staple. What is now a fashion trend was once worn only out of sheer necessity. The laborers in the 19th century used to cut their jumpsuits in half to feel cool in warmer weather, which is what marks the origin of t-shirts. However, it became a relatively common garment after F. Scott Fitzgerald used the term "t-shirt" in his novel, This Side of Paradise. It then made an appearance in media form via the movie A Streetcar Named Desire. The consumerism of T-shirts skyrocketed right after both of these print and media appearances. Nowadays, the advanced printing methods combined with a lot of cool t shirt design ideas, the popularity of different types of tees has gained a stable momentum. Some of those cool t shirts are graphic tees, crew neck tees, and others.
The fashion evolution has now changed the consumer preferences. T-shirts and shirts are now in high demand for both men and women, and they’re now incorporating more innovative T-shirt designs in their wardrobe, such as shirts with detachable collars, vinyl print t-shirts, sweat-absorbent t-shirts/shirts, and others.
