Men's T-Shirt Trends for SS15 - The Clothes Maiden

T-shirts are a wardrobe fail safe, the male equivalent of a dress. Throw one on with jeans and you’re done. Choose a classic white or add a splash of colour with our S/S’15 top picks fromT-shirt brand, Smiley Clothing Australia.

Wardrobe Essentials

It has been said that a man always looks his best in jeans and a casual T-shirt, and that everything else is a game. A garment that started off as strictly underwear, developed into workwear and is now a definitive wardrobe essential, you would be hard pushed to find a man who has never owned a T-shirt and we love this unique design – suitable for any occasion.

Perfect Fit

This 100 plus year-old basic is also the only piece of clothing that can be worn for any occasion, from under a shirt with a suit, to the gym, to the beach and even to bed. T-shirts are true commodities: we buy them in bulk, often from the same brand, and we don’t really think about them until they need replacing. You will find that SCA produce high quality, comfortable, and ready to wear streetwear for any guy.

The perfect fitted T-shirt highlights the parts of your body you’re most proud of without drawing attention to the areas you’re conscious of. You want the sleeves to be slightly shorter, or give them a couple of folds, to show off your biceps and triceps. Go for a slim fitted style that skims through this part of the body. This style above is perfect for S/S’15.

Points to Remember

If you’re not entirely confident of your body – a feeling that affects many of us, go for a classic fit in your normal size (don’t oversize in attempt to conceal) and focus on colour, neck style and fabric. Here is some advice that applies to all body types:

A classic T-shirt shouldn’t finish below the top of your hips.
Short sleeves shouldn’t cover more than half of your upper arm.
A good fitting T-shirt isn’t restrictive, allows you to move comfortably and should never be skin-tight (with the exception of performance attire).
Timeless Black, White and Grey.

Classic White

Meet the quintessential T-shirt – a white classic. For underwear there is no better choice and it’s the best colour to pair with your classic indigo jeans – see James Dean and Paul Newman for confirmation. White works on every skin tone, and there are no side effects to it. Overall, the T-shirt is an easy, affordable and effective way of experimenting with colour. Reds, pinks, greens – if there’s a shade you’ve been lusting over, try it on a T-shirt.
