A "women tee" is a casual, t-shaped shirt designed for women, often featuring a more form-fitting and contoured cut compared to men's t-shirts. It can come in various styles, like short-sleeve, long-sleeve, or sleeveless, and is typically made of a soft, lightweight fabric.
- Design and fit: Women's tees are generally cut to be more form-fitting, with narrower waists to create a more contoured silhouette. In contrast, men's t-shirts are often looser and more relaxed in the shoulders, chest, and waist.
- Origin: The T-shirt evolved from 19th-century undergarments and became a popular casual wear item in the mid-20th century.
- "Tee" as a term: The "tee" in t-shirt is a phonetic abbreviation for the letter 'T', which is the shape of the shirt with its body and sleeves.
- Variety: Beyond the basic style, women's tees are available in many variations, such as cropped, oversized, or those designed for specific activities like training or sports.
