However, many people discovered when buying T-shirts A question: They are all T-shirts, why do some sell for “more than a dozen yuan” and others for “hundreds or thousands”?

“Cheap products are not good”, “Expensive ones are IQ taxes”… People’s evaluation of T-shirts is also mixed. 1. But no matter what, in order to buy a more cost-effective T-shirt, there are still many things to pay attention to when purchasing!

1. “Ten dollars” and “hundreds or thousands”T The difference between shirts

As we all know, the prices of T-shirts on the market vary. , some are more than ten yuan, and some are hundreds or thousands of yuan.

But for this basic item that seems to have no sense of design at all, why is the price difference so big, apart from the cost ( Fabric + craftsmanship), the most important thing is the brand premium!

Even if it is a T-shirt worth thousands of dollars, its highest cost price They can only be a small 3-digit number, but if a brand label is affixed, the price difference will be huge.

An ordinary T-shirt worth more than ten yuan, and thousands of yuan Compared with Hermès, LV, and Gucci T-shirts, the price difference of thousands of yuan is mostly due to brand premium, which requires a large amount of advertising fees and celebrity endorsement fees. The original sin that caused this phenomenon is the brand itself!

2. If you want to buy a cost-effective T-shirt, pay attention to these 3 points

Of course, in addition to the brand premium, there are still differences in quality and feel between expensive T-shirts and cheap T-shirts, so in When purchasing T-shirts, you must pay attention to the following three points.

01. Look at the neckline

The craftsmanship and details of the neckline are crucial, as they directly determine the shape, feel and lifespan of a T-shirt.

If the collar is thinner than the body fabric and has little elasticity, it will be easily deformed and will wear out after being worn a few times. It will become a “lotus leaf collar”, sloppy and cheap.

Therefore, when choosing a T-shirt, the neckline must be thicker than the fabric for the larger body, and the elasticity should be better. The best craftsmanship is “three needles”, such as ribbed collar.

02. Look at the workmanship and fabrics

Workmanship and fabric directly determine the cost of a T-shirt. Pure cotton T-shirts are comfortable to wear but prone to wrinkles. Generally, big-name T-shirts will add polyester fiber or man-made fiber, which does not affect the body feel but also increases the anti-wrinkle effect.

The craftsmanship of T-shirts mainly depends on the following three aspects:

① Gram weight. Normal (160g~300g), the larger the weight, the thicker the clothes. For summer T-shirts, just choose around 180~220g. If it is too thin, it will be easy to see through, and if it is too thick, it will look hot.

② Count. The higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the T-shirt is, the more complex the workmanship is, and the price is relatively more expensive. Imported fabrics (up to 170 counts), ordinary T-shirts (21 to 32 counts).

③ Ingredients. 100% cotton T-shirts have poor elasticity and support, and are prone to wrinkles and deformation. The better pure cotton is long-staple cotton from Xinjiang; and big-name T-shirts generally have added fiber components to make them more comfortable and stylish to wear.

03. Look at the layout

The style directly determines the overall wearing effect. The tighter the neckline of an ordinary round neck, the narrower the neck. , looks very lackluster, sweetheart collar and small U-shaped collar are more recommended.

The shoulder line must be chosen as “positive shoulder line” to look slimmer.�Spirit. Normal T-shirts should be slightly looser in shape. Too loose or too tight will affect the wearing comfort and shaping effect.

Try to choose small patterns for printing, which will appear more high-end and tasteful. Many big-name T-shirts will not have overly designed LOGOs. Conspicuous, simple and high-end!

3. Conclusion

In fact, whether it is a T-shirt that costs “more than a dozen yuan” or “hundreds or thousands”, it does not affect the wearing experience. In this case, as long as you pay attention to the matching, you can improve the grade and taste of the T-shirt.

So, don’t blindly follow the trend when buying T-shirts, the most important thing is to suit your own needs~
