When buying things, you should favor options made of natural, breathable materials. Be sure to read the tags. If you clearly follow all the recommendations in the instructions, the product will serve you much longer.

Cotton is the most suitable material for T-shirts. Its breathable structure ensures comfort during sports activities and long walks. The same factor is also important for hot weather. Mercerized cotton or delicate Pima is a hypoallergenic fabric. It is also very pleasant to the body.

About popular and fashionable colors

As a rule, each person has his own color preferences. But there is an important nuance here – not everything you like will adorn you. To get into your colors, you need to have information about the coloring of the appearance. If you do not want to go too deep, focus on the shades of eyes and hair.

Another thing to consider is the relevance of the color in terms of fashion. This is an option by choice. Some people follow trends, others do not. Let’s analyze the consistently popular solutions and those that belong to the sharp trendy ones.

How do global trends affect men’s closet?

Global fashion trends, which we have seen for more than one season, apply not only to women’s clothes, but also to men’s. They include eco-friendliness, comfortable fit, gender neutrality and slow fashion. Let’s take a look at each of them.

Environmentalism

How is the eco-friendliness trend reflected when choosing a t-shirt? It’s simple. Natural materials (cotton, viscose) are favored.

Today, many brands present collections made of organic or recycled cotton. This is a great option to help our planet and look stylish.

Slow fashion

Slow fashion is the rejection of mass-market and “disposable” clothes. It is better to give preference to a quality item, in the production of which the principle of ethical attitude to the environment was observed.

How to choose such a product? Turn the T-shirt inside out before buying. This allows you to assess the quality of stitching and processing of the product. There should be no threads or scraps of fabric sticking out, no creases or folds in the seams.

The more stitches in the seam, the better the quality of the thing. Also study the label. There should be from 80% to 100% cotton or viscose.

Comfort

What can we call a comfortable cut in a T-shirt? This is, first of all, the freedom of fit. In the “slip” – this is not fashionable and stylish. How to determine the sufficient level? Between the body and the T-shirt should calmly pass the palm of the hand.

For a perfect fit, it is better to choose T-shirts made of denser fabrics (from 200g/m2). This will create a clear silhouette, and the thing will be less susceptible to deformation.
