How to Buy, Style, and Save Your Favorite Tees

Let’s be real: the T-shirt is the undisputed king of the American wardrobe. From backyard BBQs to casual Fridays at the office, it’s our go-to uniform. But we’ve all been there you buy a shirt that looks great on the rack, only for it to shrink into a crop top after one wash.

Here is everything you need to know to level up your shirt game.

1. The Hunt: What to Look For

• The Fabric: Look for 100% combed and ring-spun cotton for that buttery-soft feel. If you’re hitting the gym, a poly-blend offers the breathability you need.

• The Fit: Side-seamed construction is the gold standard. Unlike “tubular” shirts that hang like a sack, side-seams follow the natural lines of your body. Our premium cuts at My Shirt USA are designed to make you look like you actually lift, even if you’ve been skipping leg day.

2. The Vibe: How to Wear It

A T-shirt is a blank canvas. For a classic American look, pair a crisp white tee with dark denim and leather boots. Want to make a statement? Use our mobile design tool to create a custom graphic that reflects your personality. Whether it’s a niche hobby or a trending meme, a custom tee from My Shirt USA ensures you aren’t wearing the same “off-the-rack” fluff as everyone else.

3. The Care: Make It Last Forever

• Turn it Inside Out: This is the 1 rule for graphic tees. It protects the print from the friction of the wash cycle.

• Keep it Cool: Heat is the enemy. Wash in cold water to prevent shrinking and color fading.

• Avoid the “Heat Blast”: If you have the time, hang dry. If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting. High heat breaks down the fibers and ruins the print over time.
