Crew Neck T-shirt
The most common type of T-shirt may be this "crew neck T-shirt".
This type of T-shirt, also called round-neck or round-neck, is the same type of T-shirt that we discussed in our previous article, "Embarrassed if you don't know? The origin and history of the T-shirt!",
The name comes from the fact that sailors (crew members of a ship) used to wear this type of clothing.
It is the most common type of T-shirt and is versatile enough to coordinate with any outfit, regardless of whether it is for men, women, or any body type.
U-Neck T-shirt
It is called a "U-neck T-shirt" because the shape of the collar looks like the letter "U" in the alphabet.
It is similar to the crew-neck T-shirt, but the collar is deeper and more open than the crew-neck T-shirt.
If the collar is too deep, it may look too loose.
This type of T-shirt is more often seen in women's T-shirt than in men's T-shirt, but the deep collar also makes it difficult to see from the outside when worn as an inner layer of a shirt or other garment.
V-Neck T-shirt
It is called a "V-neck T-shirt" because the shape of the collar looks like the letter "V" in the alphabet.
Compared to crew-neck T-shirt, the collar is less narrow and does not emphasize the face, making it somewhat more effective in making the face look smaller.
It also gives a more stylish or cool look than the casual crew-neck T-shirt.
Boat Neck T-shirt
It is called "boat-neck T-shirt" because the collar is wide open horizontally and looks like a boat shape.
Typically, it is used in striped basque shirts.
Since the collar is wide open horizontally, the collarbone is easily seen and gives a feminine impression.
Henry Neck T-shirt
A T-shirt with several buttons on the collar of a crew-neck T-shirt is called a "henley-neck T-shirt.
This type of T-shirt is very different from other T-shirt in that it has buttons on the collar, and is often seen in men's T-shirt.
It gives a casual impression and is recommended for both men's and women's casual coordination.
