From the 1980s Short sleeve polo shirt Evolution to the current variety of T-shirt styles; From the original white, gray and other monochrome to today's colorful; From a single cotton texture to silk, wool, linen, various man-made fibers and blended fibers; From the original simple pattern design to the current personalized computer graphics. T-shirts of different times are different fashion The theme also implies that there is infinite creative space on a simple T-shirt in the 30 years of reform and opening up.

Born in the early days of reform and opening up, my impression of T-shirts dates back to the mid and late 1980s, when most of my T-shirts were collarless (usually named after "tank tops"). In my memory, there were two styles of T-shirts at that time: one was Polo T-shirt, mostly made of cotton, with single color and high color purity; The other is a collarless T-shirt. The collar, sleeve and bottom hem do not change much, and the color is mostly white. Polo T-shirts are mostly worn by my father when he was working. He recalled that the style, style and color of T-shirts in that era did not change significantly. The reason for choosing T-shirts was that they were easy to wear. In terms of patterns, I remember that we wore the most patterns of the Great Wall at that time, which was enough to reflect the cultural environment of old Beijing at that time.

In the 1990s, the most representative consumer product was not mobile phones, but T-shirts. The style of T-shirts in this era has also changed from single and imitation to personality, self and diversity. Most of them are made of cotton. On the basis of square collars, small round collars and ruffle collars are added. Sleeves have more styles and colorful fabrics. The pattern design can consider the characteristics of different objects and different regions, and pay attention to the elements of formal beauty. The prominent features are simple, practical, beautiful, and personalized display. At that time, whenever I went out with my family, I would buy a T-shirt as a souvenir. In the mid-1990s, the emergence of branded casual wear stores gave us a fresh feeling at that time. It was the first time to know Adidas, Nike and other clothing brands. It was also the first time to understand the different types of sportswear T-shirts, such as basketball T-shirts, football T-shirts, and so on. I recall that many schools began to customize uniforms for students, including a T-shirt with the school name and logo. Creative designs of different styles always give others a refreshing feeling.

After entering the 21st century, T-shirt No matter in terms of materials, styles and grades, there has been obvious development. Our aesthetic tends to be classic, nostalgic and personalized, and T-shirt design has also turned to focus on personal taste and regional culture. T-shirts are no longer gender neutral clothes. The fashionable style length of women's T-shirts is gradually higher than the waist line. The sleeve shape shows a movement curve, and more than two kinds of contrast colors are used for color combination; New styles such as collarless printing and unique splicing of men's T-shirts will always leave us with the impression of young vitality and leisure demeanor. T-shirts have begun to lead the fashion of clothing. The price of T-shirts ranges from more than ten yuan to more than one thousand yuan. The grade changes and the price varies greatly. The function range of T-shirt design is expanding. T-shirts of different grades can cater to different consumer groups and fully reflect the value orientation of different classes. At the same time, the business layout of Chinese totem patterns such as calligraphy and facial makeup on T-shirts conveys the national aesthetic charm and unique culture. The avant-garde fashion shows various popular themes in the pursuit and participation of young people. For example, we can design or choose T-shirt models or patterns that belong to our own style according to our preferences, making it a creative space to flaunt our individuality.

Today, 30 years after the reform and opening up, T-shirts have become an indispensable part of our daily work and life. In the promotion and development of the modern textile industry in the capital, I feel its strong cultural background, and see all kinds of T-shirts independently developed and designed by our enterprises, which are constantly updated with the trend of the times. Of course, the white T-shirt that accompanied me for many years is also a masterpiece reflecting the characteristics of that era in a sense.
