The white T-shirt’s origins are as humble as they are significant. It first appeared in 1913, when the U.S. Navy issued white crew neck T-shirts as part of its standard uniform. Not long after, the U.S. Army followed suit, making the plain white T-shirt a staple for servicemen. Its functionality and simplicity quickly caught on with young men outside the military, much like the leather bomber jacket and aviator sunglasses, which also have military roots. Soon, the white T-shirt became a symbol of masculinity, strength, and a hint of rebellion.
By the 1920s, the term "T-shirt" officially entered the English dictionary, and this once-military undergarment evolved into everyday workwear. From mechanics and miners to factory workers and farmers, the white T-shirt became the uniform of the working class. However, it wasn’t until the 1950s that it gained the cultural significance it holds today.
When Marlon Brando famously sported a fitted white crew neck T-shirt in A Streetcar Named Desire, he redefined its role in men’s fashion, propelling it from a functional piece to a mainstream style statement. Soon after, James Dean immortalized the white T-shirt in Rebel Without A Cause, giving it an edge of rebellious youth that cemented its place in pop culture. The effortless cool of icons like Steve McQueen only added to its legendary status. McQueen’s casual combination of a white T-shirt, black jeans, and desert boots became the epitome of understated style.
Fast forward to today, and the white T-shirt is as popular as ever. From Austin Butler wearing one as he runs errands in Los Angeles to Jeremy Allen White’s character Carmy in The Bear sparking a resurgence in sales, the plain white tee continues to be a must-have in every wardrobe.
