Question

There is a long history behind the first T-shirts and today’s colorful outerwear(外衣).

Many stories talk about the first T-shirts and the reason why people wear them. One says the first T-shirt had something to do with war.

In World War I

Some American soldiers found that European soldiers’ undershirts(汗衫) were cooler and more comfortable. They started to wear the same kind. Because the design of the undershirts was simple and looked like the letter T, Americans called the clothes T-shirts.

By World War II Many soldiers started to wear T-shirts as under-wear.

In the 1930s Many American students started wearing white T-shirts for playing sports.

In 1951 Marlon Brando, a very famous American actor, wore a tight-fitting (緊身的)T-shirt in a film. After this, many American men started to dress like him.

In the 1970s T-shirts became the favorite kind of clothing for young people in many countries. At that time, they were a sign of being cool and different from others.
