The season for everyone to wear T-shirts is about to begin, and many friends around me are already preparing to buy new T-shirts.
Recently, many fans have left messages asking questions about how to choose T-shirts. This time I will share some methods with you. I have summarized 6 types of T-shirts that cannot be bought, and then I will give you my selection suggestions:
1. 6 types of T-shirts not to buy
1. Don’t buy T-shirts with non-threaded necklines
We often make mistakes when buying T-shirts. We just didn’t pay attention to whether the neckline was threaded, and ended up buying this kind of cloth. The result was that we soon had a loose rag T-shirt! The neckline of the T-shirt must be threaded. This kind of threaded neckline will not easily deform and become loose after washing.
It is important to pay special attention to the fact that threaded necklines are also divided into grades. If you pursue the quality of the neckline, you should pay attention to choosing the two standard necklines of two-pin and three-pin. They are both five-star in threaded necklines. .
2. Don’t buy T-shirts with poor printing quality
If a T-shirt has poor printing quality, the printing will become old quickly, or develop some cracks or even degumming, which will seriously affect the T-shirt. T-shirt wearability.
The reliability of printing is related to the fabric of the clothing itself and its craftsmanship. When buying clothes, be careful to choose thinner prints. In fact, thin prints are less likely to deform. Try to avoid thick prints, especially those that look like they are floating on the clothes and have a greasy feel. This kind of T-shirt will have a cheap feel. Not only does it look low-end, but it is also easier to tear and deglue later.
3. Don’t buy tacky printed T-shirts
In recent years, some so-called trendy brands have released a lot of large-area printed T-shirts. We try to avoid buying those with large patterns on the front and back. , this style of clothes is the so-called design that uses too much force!
This kind of T-shirt actually looks very cheap when worn. If you really like printing, it is recommended to only choose one with printing on one side and a small logo on the other side. It is clean and refreshing. It’s cool, overall it’s more low-key, and it’s easier to match.
4. Don’t buy T-shirts with too many design elements
If a T-shirt has asymmetry, slits, splicing, knotting, hollows, holes, drawstrings, wrinkles… Wait for the design elements, then don’t buy it.
My standard is to tolerate the superposition of two elements at most. Don’t buy T-shirts with more than two design elements. Such a design is a typical example of using too much force.
5. Don’t buy T-shirts with outdated elements
Although T-shirts are simple styles, they actually show off your personal style, so don’t buy T-shirts with outdated elements.
What are obsolete elements? The first thing I thought of was sequins. There was a time when many brands liked to add sequins to T-shirts. At first, everyone thought it looked good, but now if you look at this element, it will look nondescript and not suitable for daily wear. You can’t grasp it well. Style, this kind of combination is very easy to overturn.
6. Don’t buy T-shirts that are too cheap
As for the price of T-shirts, I still have the same view: you get what you pay for. Don’t buy T-shirts that are too cheap. They will cause problems after wearing them once or twice. They are cheap when you buy them but will be more expensive when you wear them.
It is recommended to choose a brand or store with better quality, and do not buy a cheap model just for the sake of bargain price.
2. How to choose a good T-shirt
1. Choose the right fabric
The most common fabrics for T-shirts are three types: spandex+cotton, polyester+cotton, and 100% pure Cotton, which fabric is better? It can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so choose according to your own needs and preferences:
(1) Spandex + cotton
T-shirts made of this kind of fabric will be softer, feel good to the touch, and have a slight stretch. It is also more wear-resistant. However, this kind of fabric has a disadvantage, that is, it may be too close to the body, especially after sweating, it will feel sticky.
(2) Polyester + cotton
The T-shirt fabric made of polyester and cotton has a wider texture, so it is less prone to wrinkles; however, this kind of fabric is prone to static electricity and pilling.
(3) 100% cotton
The advantage of a cotton T-shirt is that it is soft and comfortable, and has very good breathability; the disadvantage is that it is easy to shrink and deform, and if it is not dried well after washing, there will be spots on the shoulders. Small bulges…
Suggestion: There is no perfect fabric. If you buy T-shirts on a daily basis, I recommend using pure cotton. Add softening detergent when washing, and use an anti-bulging hanger to dry, so that they will not appear. T-shirt shoulders bulge problem.
2. Choose the right weight and count
First of all, when buying clothes, many friends think that the heavier the clothes, the better. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. It is generally recommended that the weight of a T-shirt is between 180 and 220 grams. If it exceeds 220 grams, it is considered heavy.
This kind of high-gram T-shirt is relatively thick, wide and stylish. Generally, big brands prefer to use high-gram fabrics. But do you think that high weight and high quality are necessarily good? Not always. What’s more important is the yarn count. If the weight of the clothes increases, but the yarn quality does not keep up, your clothes will be stiff and rough to the touch. Especially after washing, this kind of clothes will become hard and irreversible.
Recommendation: For daily wear, just choose one weighing between 180 and 220 grams. If you want to choose a heavyweight T-shirt, then make sure the yarn count is high. Ideally, if the weight and count are both high, then the quality of the T-shirt will not be wrong.Of course the price will not be low either.
