If you’re like me, you don’t like big logos on your t-shirts and prefer them to be plain. For me, it’s all about the fit and colour. I don’t need my t-shirts to advertise for others or be making statements. Even so, a plain t-shirt can still say a lot about the wearer.

Gone are the days when a t-shirt was a t-shirt. There is nothing really “standard” anymore. Now everyone can find the fit and style that they love best. I’ll admit I have more than one favourite and different t-shirts fit different settings and moods.

A fitted poly/cotton blend t-shirt is one of the best ways to show off your physique when you’re feeling particularly buff. Not having a good day? Go for something that’s a little more forgiving, maybe a more standard, straighter cut. A v-neck brings the eye up; a baby tee will accentuate a woman’s waist. A longer cut will give the appearance of a longer torso or work well as a layer under another shirt. Shorter sleeves show off buff biceps; longer sleeves help cover up.

A thin cotton t-shirt is best under a dress shirt, but a dri-fit shirt is great for wearing on its own to whisk away moisture when it’s warm outside or when you’re active and working hard. I like a lighter cotton or cotton/poly blend to wear on its own. Once I find one I like, I usually grab it in a few colours. Always a few basic white and black, but then often in another shade or two that works well with the rest of my wardrobe. And yes, always plain. It never goes of style!
