Shirts
The T-shirt is the most worn garment there is. Its soft fabric and simple, classic shape make it a genuinely pleasant piece of clothing to wear. At PlutoSport you'll find T-shirts from Lacoste, Boss and Tommy Hilfiger in many variants of color, style and fit. A T-shirt forms the basis of your outfit and helps determine how you come across.
Choose the Right T-shirt
The T-shirt is a popular garment, and there are many different types to suit various clothing styles. A T-shirt can be worn throughout the year. It can serve as an undergarment or as a statement piece. T-shirts come with images and/or text, or with no print at all. You can find T-shirts with a V-neck or round neck, with or without a hood, with buttons, or with fun details like a pocket on the chest.
The fit of a T-shirt varies. Besides the regular fit, you can also find T-shirts with a tailored fit or a loose fit.
Material and Technologies
T-shirts are often made from cotton. Cotton is comfortable, strong, and durable. There are also T-shirts made from polyester. Polyester is a fabric that doesn't absorb moisture but instead wicks it away to the outer air, allowing it to evaporate without making the shirt itself wet. If you tend to sweat quickly, polyester is a great material to wear. An added benefit is that polyester doesn't wrinkle, making it ideal for sportswear. Some T-shirts are made from a combination of cotton and polyester, so you can enjoy the benefits of both materials in one shirt.
Some brands use their own technologies in T-shirts. For example, Puma uses DryCell technology, which ensures that sweat is quickly removed, keeping you dry and comfortable. Adidas also makes T-shirts with these properties, calling this technology ClimaLite.
Sustainable Shirts
Many sustainable shirts are also made from polyester or cotton, but these materials are produced in an environmentally friendly way. For example, polyester can be made by recycling PET bottles. Environmentally friendly cotton focuses on the methods used to grow the cotton, avoiding harmful chemicals and significantly reducing water usage. Bamboo is also a popular and sustainable material for making shirts. Bamboo plants require far less water than cotton plants and grow up to 5 to 20 cm per day. This means there is plenty of bamboo to make shirts in no time.
Tip
To enjoy your T-shirt for a long time, it's best to wash it according to the care instructions, which can be found on the care label inside the T-shirt.
