The "T" in T-shirt stands for "tee" or "tee shirt"
. This connection stems from the phonetic pronunciation of the letter "T" as "tee" in English. Another possible explanation is that the "T" in T-shirt simply refers to the basic shape of the garment, which resembles a capital letter T
. The T-shirt is a style of fabric shirt named after the T shape of its body and sleeves, which traditionally has short sleeves and a round neckline, known as a crew neck, that lacks a collar
