How Young Men Use The Wonderful, Versatile T-Shirt
Take one minute to think about your wardrobe. If you are a male between the ages of 18 to 30, there is a greater-than-average chance that the majority of your closet is dominated by t-shirts. Don’t be ashamed of your massive t-shirt collection. You fall right into a demographic of people who not only wear t-shirts, but also LOVE their t-shirts. Comfortable, cheap, easy to clean, and fun are all apt descriptors for your t-shirt collection. Why wouldn’t you love your t-shirts?
In that range of males that seem to prefer the modern t-shirt above all other types of clothing, there are several types of t-shirt that fit all types of needs. One of these needs is for a “work shirt”. This type of t-shirt is usually quite old and will bear the markings of a tough life. Holes, paint stains, and an accidental bleaching have left some serious battle scars on this t-shirt. It will sometimes be seen worn with pajamas on a Saturday while eating cereal.
Another type of t-shirt that can be observed is the “good” t-shirt. This is made example in the statement, “Oh, we’re going to the bar? Let me put on my good t-shirt.” This is usually the young male’s favorite t-shirt, typically with a fairly humorous pun or image across the chest. Please note that this t-shirt can (and will) be worn for multiple days if it remains relatively salsa-free and the wearer has a supply of fabric-freshener on hand.
The last t-shirt we’ll talk about fills a very odd role in a man’s life. This t-shirt is kept safe and put away merely for the sake of nostalgia. A significant other from the past may have considered this t-shirt her “favorite” of all the man’s many shirts. She may have even used it to sleep in, leaving a lingering scent that the man may drunkenly sniff for late at night. The “favorite” t-shirt is usually never worn, but is often cried into.
One day this same man who wears t-shirts almost exclusively will grow into his full adult form. Not all t-shirts will be pushed aside, but many will give way to clothing more suitable for a professional environment. The permanent addition of a female and children will phase the man into the “casual polo” era. Once there, there is no turning back. The man is now an adult and the t-shirt becomes a thing of the past.
There is a great site about t-shirts which can be found at t-shirt where you can see how it’s done right.
