T-shirts.
A lightweight, collarless knit shirt with a buttoned placket at the neckline, and sometimes a contrasting lining at the
placket and around the neck. The name comes from the crew-racing shirts worn at Henley, the site of a famed annual rowing
regatta in the U.K.
A crewneck t-shirt without the sleeves. Generally, used as outerwear, gym wear, and loungewear. It can also be worn as
innerwear when the ability to see the short sleeve through your dress shirt is undesirable.
A sleeveless knit shirt with a deep, U-shaped neckline and deep armholes. Originally an athletic garment, tank tops have
found a place in the modern wardrobe, to be worn layered or on its own. Currently, the slang for this style shirt carries
the name of "wife beater."
A v-shaped, collarless neckline with a rib or tape finish. A traditional v-neck comes to 1" below the clavicle. It was
