The simple, cheap ten-dollar T-shirt has proved a fantastic medium for changing fashions: from the T-shirts with antiwar slogans of the sixties, to the huge oversized T-shirts of the 80s, and the tight tees of the 90s, right up to the designer brands of the twenty-first century, which can cost thousands of dollars. The image of the T-shirt as an outerwear and fashion item is now firmly established, and long gone are the days of the T-shirt as underwear.
