When t-shirts first started catching on in the nineteenth century, it was something quite simple. It was a tight-fitted crew-neck shirt that was made for men as well as boys and was only available in white. But ever since World War 2 and the economic boom which followed, the simple old white t-shirt was no longer in fashion and was replaced by countless different varieties to suit various occasions and tastes. And today, t-shirts are worn by men, women, boys, girls and even pets.
One of the most popular variations of t-shirts is the tank top. These t-shirts come without sleeves and with either regular shoulder straps or spaghetti straps. The thicker versions of these straps are even referred to as wifebeaters sometimes. Tank tops are mostly worn by people during a hot day in summer or maybe even under another shirt. But wifebeaters are mainly worn as undershirts. You can also find many people that are involved in strenuous activities wearing wifebeaters. The main reason for this is because it keeps them cool. Tank tops along with their variations (muscle shirts and a-shirts) are considered as casual wear without exception. The type of work where they can be worn usually involves manual labor.
Scoop neck and v-neck t-shirts are two other popular variants. Both these t-shirts have sleeves though. Their names are derived from the way they outline the neck. Regular t-shirts have a crew neck. This is a circular line which is close up and tight fitting. But the v-neck & scoop neck plunge lower down. This is the reason why these Australian t-shirts have become quite popular in women's fashion though many men can be seen wearing v-necks as well. You can also find v-necks on many sweaters and most v-neck sweaters are combined with t-shirts underneath. While a regular t-shirt is definitely casual, there are certain v-necks which can be considered formal enough to be worn as smart casual wear. V-necks don't just allow you a variation in style but also give you the chance to wear them to a large number of different occasions.
Ringer t-shirts are t-shirts where the sleeve bands and collar ribbing are in contrasting colors to the body of the t-shirt. These t-shirts rose to popularity in the 1960's when most rock-and-rollers were wearing such t-shirts. They started to fade out during the 1980's though they have made a comeback in the 21st century. Baseball t-shirts are quite like ringer t-shirts except for the fact that they have longer sleeves. Both t-shirts are considered as casual wear.
Lastly, for women who feel t-shirts are too masculine or don't really help accentuate a female's curves properly, you have the babydoll t-shirt. This t-shirt is tight fitting and has a crew-neck and short sleeves. They are also quite short in length and tend to expose the midriff for added sex appeal. The babydoll's silhouette does an excellent job of highlighting the upper body of a woman.
Whatever style, shape or design you need, you will definitely be able to find it in Australia. All you have to do is look.
