31 Essential T-Shirt Fonts To Help You Create The Best Custom Apparel

Everyone has a favorite t-shirt. Whether it’s your college tee or that semi-tattered crop top you’re now using as a nightshirt, the love for the t-shirt is universal. And why wouldn’t it be? T-shirts are versatile, comfy, and highly customizable.

But have you ever wondered how it became the world’s preferred piece of clothing?

History of the Humble Shirt

The ‘t-shirt’ that we know of today has a long history. But even during its origins in the Middle Ages, it began as an undergarment. Made from linen, cotton, or wool, these T-shaped garments served as a barrier between the skin and ‘proper’ clothes such as vests or tunics.

As years passed, working men wore them underneath working attire, like jumpsuits or uniforms. In the late 19th century for instance, British sailors would wear white flannel shirts under their woollen uniforms, unless they were working on deck (because it was quite hot).

As manufacturing boomed, linen and wool were replaced by cotton as it was lighter and can be worn for sports or lounging around on the weekends. But t-shirts were still worn as an undergarment. It would take Hollywood’s biggest stars – Montgomery Clift, James Dean, and Marlon Brando – to shift the gears and turn t-shirts into an everyday staple.

T-Shirt Styles to Own

The humble shirt has evolved to include dozens of styles that suit men and women. From printed designs to boatnecks, there’s plenty to go around in every size, shape, and color. But even if you’re not a fan, you should consider owning one or two styles that go well with almost anything in your closet.

No one should be without the no. 1 staple: the plain t-shirt. Think of it as a blank canvas from where you can coordinate the rest of your outfit.

Suitable for both men and women, you can wear it all-year round. Use it on its own during summer, and layer it with your favorite sweaters come spring or autumn. Wear as an undergarment during winter.

Another article you wouldn’t regret buying more of is the long-sleeved shirt. Great on its own or worn along with other pieces (e.g. vests, sweaters, corsets, jumpers, etc.), it can go from party trendy to office ready in no time. There are different styles for women, too, such as the scoop neck and turtleneck.

Last but not least, don’t forget to grab a printed t-shirt for yourself. Perhaps the most effortless way to make a statement, it’s also the easiest form of self-expression. Not to mention, a great conversation-starter. After all, you can quickly move past small talk if another person was wearing a Pearl Jam band shirt.
