How to Choose the Best T-Shirt?
Collar, fabric type and length are the most important factors in choosing a t-shirt. Color should also be added to these and the most appropriate t-shirt selection should be made.
- Fabric Type: T-shirts are generally preferred products in summer. Wearing t-shirts made of fabrics that can refresh you and absorb sweat in hot weather will be both a healthy and the right choice. Cotton fabric is the perfect fit for summer wear. In addition, linen and sile cloth will not disappoint you with their lightness and comfort.
- Collar: The choice of collar is very critical due to the perception of body size. V, U, square and oval collars are ideal for the summer months as they provide clarity and prevent you from looking overweight. Cycling and zero collars, on the other hand, will make your chest and shoulders look wider, causing you to look fatter than you are.
Length: Those looking for comfort on hot days usually prefer long t-shirts. However, it should be a maximum of 15 cm longer from the belt part. T-shirts that are too long can make you look shorter, while T-shirts that are too short can make you look fatter.- Color: The t-shirt color you choose should definitely be suitable for the summer season. Dark-toned T-shirts such as navy blue and black, which trap the heat by absorbing it, will make you sweat a lot. Soft and light tones such as white, pink and light blue will push the warmth and offer you a comfortable experience.
