TRENDS

T-shirts were originally worn as undershirts.
Now T-shirts are worn frequentlyas the only
piece of clothing on the top half of the body, other
than possibly a bra or anundershirt (vest).
T-shirts have also become a medium
for self-expression and advertising,
with any imaginable combination of words, art
and even photographs on display.

A T-shirt typically extends to the waist.
Variants of the T-shirt, like the tank top,
A-shirt (with the nickname "wife beater"),
muscle shirt, scoop neck, and the
V-neck have been developed. Hip hop
fashion calls for "tall-T" T-shirts which
may extend down to the knees. A 1990's
trend in women's clothing involved
tight-fitting "cropped" T-shirts that are
short enough to reveal the midriff.
Another popular trend is wearing a
"long-sleeved T-shirt", then putting a
short sleeved T-shirt of a different
color over the long sleeved shirt.
This is known as "layering".
