But there are some styles which are here to stay.  Here are some examples of t shirts that are never out of style and should always be in your wardrobe.

1. The polo T-shirt

Polo shirt was actually an innovation made by tennis champion Rene Lacoste which he first wore in the 1926 U.S. Open championship. But it got the name polo shirt when polo players started using it with a polo player embroidered on it. It further became a byword when Ralph Lauren added a polo shirt to his famous Polo line. Then it has been worn by golf players and other athletes, but since then even non-athletes wear it. It has become part of the business casual and is one of the most versatile top men can have. The polo shirt is one of the must-have in your wardrobe. There are different designs in a polo shirt, some comes with stripes, but there are plain polo shirts like this PA-K420 Port Authority - Pique Knit Sport Shirt which is available in an abundance of 28 striking colors. Made with pre-shrunk 100% ring spun combed cotton, one can just wonder in its softness and be amazed that it is shrink-resistant.

2. The Long Sleeve T-Shirt

A long-sleeve shirt is a type of T-shirt that is just like the original kind except that it has long sleeves while the original has short sleeves. It is often worn with a short sleeved shirt over it for the layering style used more by the youth especially done in fall or winter. This particular long sleeve shirt from Gildan GI-G2400 is made from100% cotton and available in 21 colors so one can have as many colors as they want.

3. The Imprintable Shirts

Graphic tees made a huge splash in the T-shirt market and since then have remained as one of the must-haves for stylish men, no matter what age. With technology came the ability to shop online no matter the distance. It also brought us the opportunity to change the way we shop, unlike store shopping some online store offers us the customized our purchases. In fact, online stress gave us the chance to design and personalized blank shirts and that's when the imprintable shirts came into the T-shirt market. PC-PC61 Port and Company - Essential T-Shirt is one blank shirt you would love to have. These imprintable or blank shirts available in 46 colors can be personalized thru embroidery and screen printing. With the abundance of colors, coordinating it with any pants is easy.

Layering is one of the trends especially with the men. It can be a shirt under an open button-up shirt for a super-casual style. Or a shirt over a long-sleeve shirt of a different color topped with a beanie. Any shirt, blank or printed with graphic art would do, but this DT-DT104 Men Short Sleeve Perfect Weight District Tee is perfect on its own or paired with your favorite hoodie.
Pair it with: For this blank shirt, any casual pants would look great with it but for uber-cool and casual look jeans would be the best pair.

4. The Ringer T-shirt

A ringer shirt was first introduced in the early ‘60s and became more popular over the years. Other styles have overtaken its popularity in the ‘80s but experienced a revival in the early 2000s especially among the youth. Ringer shirts are characterized by a jersey shirt fabric of one color while the ribbing for the sleeve bands and the collar are of a contrasting color. Most often the shirt is in white with the collar and sleeve bands in a different color.

Pair it with: You can wear it with dark jeans and it would be good for a concert or a night out with friends.

5. The Raglan T-shirt

Raglan t-shirts are those shirts with sleeves that extend in one piece to the collar which leaves a diagonal seam from underarm to the neckline.  Most often, the raglan sleeves are half or three quarter-length and in a different color than the rest of the shirt. This shirt is more casual and is also called "baseball shirt". This particular raglan shirt (ST-T200) is made by Sport Tek by Port Authority and is available in 13 great combinations.
Pair it with: Blue jeans would look good paired with this but so would black jeans as seen on the model.

6. The Henley Shirt

Henley shirts which are collarless became popular in the ‘90s but fell out of fashion and have seen resurgence over the years especially for larger men who are looking for fashionable casual shirts that aren't so tight and form-fitting. These shirts are notable for buttoned placket which contains anywhere from two to six buttons which makes them easier to put on and remove and opened for more ventilation. The bigger size of most Henley shirts offers ease of movement and more ventilation of body heat especially among larger men.

How to Officially Start a T-shirt Collection

So you wanna start a t-shirt collection? Oh,it's no easy task. It's just like collecting art, minus the square frames and hard to pronounce names. If you wanna be a real tee maniac, it's about time you officially start a t-shirt collection. Read T-Shirt Magazine's guide to collecting t-shirts first.

A good collection has both breadth and depth. Breadth: a variety of t-shirt styles, colors, and brands. Depth: a focus on a certain style, color or brand. Maybe you try collecting 10 red t-shirts as your focus but 2 of every color to have a variety.

Get as many limited edition t-shirts as possible. It's always good to have a few rare pieces in your collection. Plus, it sucks going out with some crazy shirt on thinking you're all cool and original and then seeing someone wearing the exact same one.

Buy t-shirts from underground brands. You'll be one of the only people to own a shirt if it's from a brand that's not out there yet. On top of that, when the brand does blow up you can say you started wearing it way before everyone else did.

Keep all your t-shirts in good condition. You don't have to be a neat freak about it but don't stain them permanently or tear holes through them regularly. Who wants to walk around in beat up t-shirts anyway?

Buy t-shirts that are considered collector's items. Shirts based on significant events, iconic figures, or pop culture are good additions to your collection. T-shirts of your favorite bands, shows or movies are great additions.

Have a story for every t-shirt. When buying a shirt for your collection, remember where you got it from, what made you buy it or some notable thing that happened that day. Makes for a good conversation when someone compliments your t-shirt or sees your closet.

When starting off, think quality over quantity. It's better to have a few really cool t-shirts than a bunch of t-shirts that suck. You don't have to pay an arm and a leg for quality, but once in a while you should blow $100 on a single t-shirt if you can afford it.

Pick a few brands whose t-shirts you like and get all the latest releases. Having a truckload of random shirts is cool, too, but having t-shirts from a select few brands shows you've developed a taste.

Now you're ready to officially start a t-shirt collection.

T Shirt Or Hooded Tops

A lot of people out there don’t really know whether to wear a hooded piece of clothing or t shirt if they are going out. They don’t know if they should wear the one or the other piece of clothing to a particular function. But we’ll tell you where you should which garment for maximum laughter, fun or just simply to keep you warm or cool.

Party:

So you’re going to a party and you’re either a student or a really cool adult. Regardless her you should wear short sleeved tops such as a t shirt. Why not a long sleeve top you may ask? Quite frankly because you want to be showing off your body to people and to prospected people that like you. If you have a body show it off with something revealing like a vest top and not a hooded top.

How ever if it’s a party in the middle of winter then you may want to take a long sleeve top to get to the function and then take it off and leave it lying about some where. I only advise taking a hooded top because it will be quite cold in the winter months and if you wear something short you’ll be showing to other people that in fact you are cold because your goose bumps will be literally everywhere.

Shopping:

If you’re out shopping in the local town then I would recommend taking a hooded top just in case. Depending in which country you live in such as the States you know that you weather is very reliable and that if it has been said it’s not going to rain to day then your best bet is not to wear something like a hooded top. But if you live in say Britain and the weather is very unreliable then a hooded top in your bag is playing it safe rather then getting wet through without wearing a hooded top.

But if you forget to take a top with you and if you are shopping then you could always buy something to wear whilst shopping. But again if you are shopping in an indoor centre shopping area then wearing a hooded top or a short sleeved top will not be the biggest factor if its raining outside quite simply because you have a roof over your head.

Music Gig:

When going to a music gig wear a music related t shirt and if you can wear something that is related to the main musician singing to show that you are a true fan. In case if you are catching public transport take a long sleeve top so if in doubt it rains or becomes very cold at least you have something to wear.

Music Festival:

If you’re going to music festival and your staying over a weekend then you will be needing to pack a lot more than just short sleeved tops. You will need to pack your Wellington boots, hooded tops, sleeping bags and your general day to day clothes.

In The Home:

When at home you can wear what you when you want. You could stay in your pyjamas all day and no one would care and they shouldn’t because it’s your home and you can wear what you want.

If you’re in doubt what to wear next time or what you should buy, thing about your music and what you listen to? If you’re not into music then the usual funny slogans are always available for you to buy.

The writer of this article loves wearing funny t shirts and he loves writing anything to do with funny t shirt.

Comedy Is Fun But T Shirts Are Funny

We all enjoy watching comedy series whether it were from the past such as the UK favourite Only Fool’s And Horses or the Inbetweeners or the Phone Shop comedy series. Watching these series from the past to the present are always a good time past in the evening or the night. So wouldn’t you want to tell everyone what your favourite comedy series is?

For example if you loved watching the Inbetweeners we know that there are quite a few catchy phrases like “Briefcase Guy” and the “One Door Car”. These sort of phrases will be printed on t shirts and hooded tops and anything that can imagine being printed it will be most probably have it printed.

Why you may ask? Quite simply because people want to show off to their friends that they keep up with the latest comedy on television of on the internet. Plus if a boy wears something funny on a t shirt and they go to college or university then they will be drawing attention to themselves from the ladies and that’s what they want, attention from good looking girls. Even older guys like to draw attention to themselves.

I know of when the Hangover the film cam out there were quite a few funny slogans coming out on funny t shirts and hooded tops and they make very good clothing for the summer days or for the winter months.

What a lot of comedy fanatics and fashion conscious people will do is print there own t shirts and hooded tops. They do this to release their creativity for what they love. Also people will love wearing music related likewise to comedy because people love wearing things that are popular to get them noticed to themselves and to people. People don’t want to wear something old or something that was designed 3 years ago, not that there is anything wrong that was 3 years ago but people want to wear latest designs and slogans because that is what the trend is.

The best thing about watching a comedy movie is that you could be watching something at night time and if you have your own printing method of designing and printing then you can be wearing your own inspired slogans from the movies. The quickest way to be able to print these slogans yourself is to print it on your home computer on special transfer paper, then heat press it on some old clothing you have and then you can wear that clothes the very next day at college or at university to show off to your friends and attract them ladies.

The best thing is that you will not have had to spend literally $30 on a t shirt that you would only wear once but now you can keep on designing your own comedy catchy slogan to impress and to keep the creative wheel keep on going round. So if you love your comedy show you could even go as far as getting an I love my comedy show printed on a t shirt to show everyone when you go out.

Three Popular T-Shirt Printing Methods

T-shirt printing has come a long way from simple silk screening. Aside from screen printing, other methods include direct-to-garment printing and thermal transfer. Each of these methods has a different effect and can produce either vibrant or dull colors.

The intricacy of design is also dependent on the t-shirt printing method to use. One method may only produce six-color designs while another can print a thousand colors on the fabric. Understanding each method can help you decide which method to use for t-shirt printing.

Designing T-Shirts By Screen Printing

Screen printing makes use of a mesh or screen made of polymer, a squeegee made of rubber, and a t-shirt printing machine. The mesh used to be made of silk because the screen printing method originated in China. However, because of silk’s expensiveness, manufacturers have started creating fine screens from polymer instead.

These modern screen printing meshes were as durable as the silk screens of yore. When they are damaged, these polymer meshes will not be as costly to dispose of as when they are made of silk. Polymer is also easier to gather as a resource material compared to silk, which is hard to come by.

The screen printing process involves the following steps:

• The client discusses with the t-shirt printing company the requirements of the design. These will include the number of colors to use, the final effect the client wants for the design, the color and type of the fabric, the number of t-shirts to produce, and the t-shirt printing methods to use.
• The t-shirt printing company then prepares the ink, the rotary printing machine, the screen printing meshes, and the soft copy of the design, which has to be edited using an imaging software such as Photoshop, and then printed from the computer to the acetate.
• The design has to be printed in its negative image, which means the areas where the ink should fill up must be the ones that are opaque. The areas that do not need any ink should be transparent. The reason for a negative image is for the creation of the stenciled image on the mesh.
• Using an emulsion, the stencil is created by placing the acetate with the printed design on top of the mesh, and then exposing the two to UV light. The UV light will harden the exposed areas with emulsion underneath the acetate, while the emulsion in those opaque areas will remain soft and washable with water. After washing away the soft emulsion, the hardened emulsion will form the stenciled image.
• With your mesh ready with the stenciled image, the t-shirt printing process now begins. The t-shirts are laid on the platform in the t-shirt printing machine. The back of the shirt should be protected from leakage. The mesh for each color should be tightly screwed so it will not move and smudge the design.
• Each color of the ink is applied to the screen depending on the area they are needed. The stenciled image for each color will also differ to match the area where the color is needed. The angle of the squeegee and the pressure applied will determine the depth and consistency of the color.

As each custom printed t-shirt is finished, they are immediately "cured," which is a process of embedding the ink into the fabric by exposing it to intense heat. A special heater is used for certain types of inks, especially the water-based types.

Direct-to-Garment Printing (DTG) Method of T-shirt Printing

Direct-to-garment printing uses a modified inkjet printer to directly print the design on the t-shirt without the use of a stenciled image or a squeegee to apply ink through a mesh. The textile ink is the same one used in screen printing the t-shirt.

Because of the reduction of the steps in the t-shirt printing process, the DTG method increases the turnaround time. More shirts can be printed on in less time. Aside from that, because DTG does not use a mesh for printing, the number of colors and the intricacy of design is more flexible and customizable.

T-Shirt Printing Using Thermal Transfer

The thermal transfer method uses the same modified inkjet printer to print the textile ink onto a special paper that reacts to heat. When heat and pressure are applied to this special paper, the design is transferred to the fabric. Sometimes, water is applied first to the back of the paper before being ironed over the t-shirt. Other times, the back of the paper is directly ironed over after being placed on top of the fabric.

These are the major processes used in t-shirt printing. There may be other methods such as flex and flock printing, but these three methods are the most used by t-shirt printing companies. They are also the most cost-efficient and most requested by clients. The other t-shirt printing methods are used in combination to produce custom printed t-shirt designs.
