It’s not a little surprising how the same kind of T-shirt — even a plain tees — can give people such different looks and feel. I’ve come to think that styling a T-shirt well is beginning and also essential to fashion.
Whether you like fashion or not, everyone has a “style,” or I would say a background shaped by your lifetime experiences that has influenced your personality and, in turn, your style. If you wear only what you like, it may come across as a little corny or ignore objectivity. You can look at yourself in the mirror, but you may not know what truly works. This things tends to leave your style open to others’ judgment. However, fashion trends, more or less, share common elements and make sense. You need to catch up. This is how I see it.
This silhouette knocks me out.
These pictures are in the 1950s. After World War II, the American army started wearing T-shirts not just as underwear but as casual clothes. In the 1960s and 1970s, anti-war movements, hippie culture, some various social movements advocating peace and civil rights made a lot of culture such as music and movies and Also T-shirt culture more natural and turned T-shirts into a symbol of freedom. This “freedom” aspect of T-shirt style was widely accepted and gradually spread.
I’ve always worn T-shirts(especially 80s) with about 15-inch shoulders and width. This is my classic fit. There is a trend that, for vintage items, the older, the better. But you don’t need to spend a lot of money to enjoy a variety of T-shirts, even if they’re not 1960s or 1970s vintage pieces, once you’ve collected the right size.
I’ve been talking about silhouettes so far, but of course, you want to pick my tees based on design and color depending on the day, the atmosphere, and my mood—so you can see yourself from different sides. Still, I always pay attention to the shoulder line. Tees don’t look fine when the shoulder seams drop too much, even if they’re single-stitch Made in USA.

A T-shirt is the first thing you put on—even before sliding your arms into a jacket or outerwear—and it can completely change depending on what you choose to wear that day. I’m not saying T-shirts should always take the spotlight, but be mindful of size, color matching, texture, weather, and atmosphere. Hopefully you’ll discover your own T-shirt aesthetic, because everyone has their own style.
