Why have T-Shirts been popular styles with teens for a very long time? Do you think this will change anytime soon?

        T shirts were originally designed to be worn under the U.S Navy's deep v neck shirts. Since then, the T shirt has evolved and has become a staple in almost everybody's wardrobe. During the 1960's, Walt Disney saw a marketing opportunity with the blank shirts. He saw the tees as a blank canvas for simple letters and designs for souvenirs. This idea along with the advancements of printing and dying lead to people to put graphic designs onto tee shirts. Soon bands, tv shows, movies, and other groups with a following began to manufacture t shirts with their own designs and logos on them. I think t shirts are popular among teens because they are affordable and meet the needs of esteem. Teens tend to gravitate towards conformity to try and fit in, which usually results in dressing similar to others. I also think teens wear tee shirts because it gives them an opportunity to express themselves and their interest.
