Invented sometime in the nineteenth century, T-shirts were invented as a form of underwear! Since then, this garment has come a long way and is owned literally by every person to walk this planet. The classic T-shirt has gone through minor changes, resulting in different types you can choose from.

You'll be able to find quite a few types of fits for T-shirts for men. We have the regular fit, which has been around since the beginning of time, the oversized fit, which is very loose, comfortable and also trending currently and the slim fit, which hugs the body more snugly as compared to the regular fit.

If you've been wanting to experiment with your style a little but don't know the types of T-shirts available, here are some recommendations for you:

The crew neck T-shirt is the classic round neck with no collars, which is what most of us know and love. While you can buy an oversized version of it, the regular one usually fits well around the neck and has looks great on literally everyone and with everything, be it jeans, cargos, or shorts.

LBB-Tip: These T-shirts are the best for layering as well.

The only major difference between a crew neck and a V-neck is the neckline. The V-neck, as the name suggests, has a V-shaped neckline. There are a lot of options to choose from when it comes to how deep the neckline can go, and is a matter of personal preference.

Henley T-shirts (also called the Y shape t-shirts) for men have a buttoned placket on the neckline. One could consider it in between a crew neck and a V-neck, except this one gives you a choice to open as many or as few buttons as you'd like or that would go with your outfit. The buttons add a little texture to an otherwise plain design. 

Polos

If you're looking for a formal T-shirt option, then go with a Polo. They're basically collared T-shirts with a button placket and are usually short sleeved. It's designed to fit close to the body without being too tight or uncomfortable.

LBB Tip: You can dress up a polo by wearing it with pants or chinos and possibly tucking it in, or dress it down by pairing it with jeans or even shorts. 

Oversized T-shirts

While we're not partakers of too many fashion trends, we're happy to get behind the oversized T-shirt trend, and that's probably because we consider it to be a permanent part of our lives now. Oversized T-shirts have a relaxed fit, featuring longer lengths and wider sleeves. They only gained popularity a few years ago, but the increasing acceptance of streetwear style has definitely boosted it further.
