The Essential Guide to your Essentials

T-shirts come in all styles and forms, whether it be an understated plain white tee or a slogan tee making a statement, whichever it may be it will forever be a wardrobe staple. A simple t-shirt might be essential, dependable and versatile but this doesn’t make it basic. In fact it was only last year when the social significance of the humble T-shirt was highlighted in the T-Shirt: Cult – Culture – Subversion exhibition at the Fashion & Textile Museum which “explored the garment in the context of its role as the “perfect blank canvas” to express opinions on everything from LGBT rights to climate change”.

With a focus shifting more and more towards sustainability within the fashion industry, we are showcasing some of our top sustainable fashion T-shirt brands who focus on organic, ethical production and classic contemporary designs.
