T-shirts: Appealing Apparel
T恤：经典不败的时尚宣言

No matter what the season is, you will see people wearing T-shirts. These simple items of clothing may have begun as undergarments, but it’s been a long time since they were regarded solely as such. Their climb to the height of being a top fashion accessory may have been slow and steady, but they’re certainly no longer on the bottom of the clothing drawer.
T-shirts are usually made of cotton. In the past, clothing was often made of wool and other coarse, itchy materials, so wearing underwear made of cotton kept skin comfortable. In World War I, American soldiers noticed European soldiers wearing these undergarments instead of their wool uniforms during the hot summers. While the trend of wearing them as undershirts caught on, it wasn’t until Hollywood superstars started wearing them as outer clothing that they found acceptance.
In 1955, the film Rebel without a Cause starred James Dean wearing jeans and a white T-shirt under a red jacket. This was considered the turning point, and as people started copying his style, the T-shirt’s popularity grew. By the 1960s and ’70s, T-shirts started taking on new looks. Instead of being plain white, T-shirts of many colors started showing up, and ones with printing on them became standard.

无论什么季节，你都会看到人们穿着T恤。这些简单的服装一开始可能是用来当作贴身衣物，但它们单纯被当成这种用途已经是很久以前的事了。T恤或许是一步一步才慢慢地登上颠峰、成为必备的流行配件，但它们的确不再被压在衣柜抽屉的底层了。
T恤通常是棉制的。过去，衣服通常是由羊毛和其他粗糙、令人发痒的材质所制成，所以穿着棉制衬衣可以让皮肤感到舒适。第一次世界大战期间，美国大兵注意到了欧洲士兵在大热天穿这种衬衣，而不是穿羊毛军服。虽然把T恤当作汗衫蔚为风潮，但是一直要到好莱坞巨星开始把T恤当外衣穿，它们才广被接受。
一九五五年，詹姆斯．狄恩在电影《养子不教谁之过》中穿着牛仔裤，并且在红色夹克里面穿着白色T恤。这被视为是转捩点，随着人们开始模仿他的风格，T恤也越来越受欢迎。到了一九六○与七○年代，T恤开始有了新面貌。T恤不再是白色，开始出现了许多颜色的T恤，上面印有花样的T恤也成为普遍的款式。
