A t-shirt (sometimes known as a tee-shirt) is an item of clothing worn on the upper body. Normally, t-shirts are buttonless, collarless and pocketless with a round-shaped neck and short sleeves. Typically, t-shirts are made of cotton or polyester to give the t shirt a soft texture.

There are thousands of manufacturers of t shirts and there are a myriad of designs to choose from. Some t shirts can be used a marketing tool by giving out branded t shirts to users for free - when they wear them, other people will also see the branding on the t shirt hence the company gains free exposure.

T shirts come in a variety of colours sizes so that a wide range of people will wear them. Although the classic t shirt does not have pockets etc, some fashion t shirts do have non-standard bits on them to make them more fashionable. Some t shirts also now come with long sleeves.

There are also now companies which are able to print any picture onto a t-shirt for you at fairly low prices. Special printers for the home can also be bought which will print directly onto a t-shirt.
