While they are seen everywhere today, white T-shirts were not always popular. The idea of the white T-shirt came from a piece of clothing called the union suit. The union suit, which covered the whole body, was worn under a person’s clothes and considered underwear. Around the early 1900s, people started separating the union suit into two pieces. This made it easier to put on and take off. Then, the Cooper Underwear Company designed a new type of undershirt. It was a simple shirt with no buttons.
虽然现今白 T 随处可见，但它们并不是一直都这么流行的。白 T 的概念来自一件被称为连衫裤的服装。连衫裤覆盖全身，穿在人的衣服底下并被视为内衣。约莫 1900 年代早期，人们开始将连衫裤分成两个部分。这让它变得更好穿脱。然后，Cooper Underwear Company 设计了一种新型内衣。它是一件简单朴素、没有钮扣的衬衫。
