Women Tee Off!

The common tee (formerly known as t-shirts) has come a long way. The
tee were usually made for only men…but now, with technology and broadening
of creativity (and minds), more women are seen donning the common tee to
special events and even formal functions.
Some women would rather not be seen out in public in a tee, and would
only wear their tee at home, but with added finesse, creativity, and
uniqueness to the tees that can be found in the market these days, why the
hell not? Not only are they comfortable, but you can actually get a
fashionable one that suits your style. If you team it up with a fab
looking cardigan or a cool skirt, your tee can take you a long, long,
LLLOOONNNNGGGGG way!
The demand for fashionable tees has taken the industry to new heights
over the last couple of years. Women are not longer required to make a
decision between price or quality. Now, tees are widely available all over
the place, including online e-commerce stores at low prices and made of
high quality fabric. Yes, the cost price of a tee is low and that is why
consumers know that they are getting an incredible value for a good tee at
a reasonable pricing.
The key to buying a high quality tee is to make sure that the tee is
made of innovative and premium fabric. The design (print or sewing) needs
to be stylish, personal and unique in every sense of the word. If not, the
tee is going to look like something you just dragged out of your husband’s
closet! For fashion conscious folks, this is probably not a good idea.
The tee shirt market is more than happy to provide and manufacture more
fashion tees for women because it gives them a better range of products to
sell. For instance, there’s the low v-neck tee, the body-hugging tee, the
baby tee, the raglan tee, the capped sleeves tee, the women’s baseball
tee, the common tee….and the number of different tee shirts that the
companies can come up with is limitless! Well, limited only by the
creativity and minds of the tee designers, of course.
The options of women’s tee does not only come in the form of different
designs. In fact, some tee shirt manufacturers are doing cartwheels all
around the office block because they can experiment and try out the tee
designs with different weight options, colors, texture, ribs, hemp, pique,
ottoman….etc to fit the various ages of women. But when it comes to
women’s tee, the King of Tee is none other than the famous cotton. It’s
comfortable, it’s flexible, it’s affordable and it comes in many different
varieties as well. To top it all off the cotton tee is rather tough and
can last the wearer a long time. In fact, cotton tees are a favorite among
men and babies as well.
The reason why cotton tees are so comfortable is because cotton is
extremely light – feathery, almost. It weighs between 3.8 ounces to 5.5
ounces. The heavier the cotton tee, the tougher the tee is. However, for
those who live in hotter climate may opt for lighter weight tee because
there’s better circulation of air.
Many tee shirt manufacturers now realize that it’s no longer as simple
as it used to be. In order to sell tees in the ladies’ market, they need
to be innovative and creative. Women need fashion, unlike men. With men,
one size fits all, and there’s only one shape and design to contend with.
With ladies’ tee, it’s a completely different ball game now.
With the rising popularity of stretchable tees and sport tees,
companies are now using modifying their direction and trying to use
stretchable tee material to produce their tee shirts especially for the
ladies’ market. For stretchability, lycra and spandex is used. On top of
the ability to give the wearer a tight-fitting and body-shaping look, it’s
stretchable and does not restrict the movement of the wearer.
Ribbing is also often used to provide more options for the ladies’
fashion tee market. When the ribbing technique is used, it looks like it
is tight-fitting but it’s actually not. The material becomes heavier but
it’s bulkier, providing warmth and comfort to the fashion tee wearer.
With a good eye out for combination, and color (and of course, style)
women can literally wear tees anywhere. Tee to the tea party, tee to the
office function, tee to the golf course, tee to the office boardroom
(hidden under a jacket, perhaps)..anywhere!
