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
cotton tee, tougher 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 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 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 ladies’ market. For stretchability, lycra and spandex is used. On top of ability to give wearer a tight-fitting and body-shaping look, it’s stretchable and does not restrict movement of wearer.
Ribbing is also often used to provide more options for ladies’ fashion tee market. When 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 fashion tee wearer.
With a good eye out for combination, and color (and of course, style) women can literally wear tees anywhere. Tee to tea party, tee to office function, tee to golf course, tee to office boardroom (hidden under a jacket, perhaps)..anywhere!
