The t-shirt wasn’t widely worn as outerwear in North America until after World War II. Originally, in the early 1900s, it was strictly an undergarment – something you’d never wear in public. If you look at classic Hollywood films from that era, actors only wore t-shirts beneath their clothes. During the war, soldiers began wearing t-shirts as regular clothing, and this trend continued afterward. By the 1950s, stars like Marlon Brando and James Dean popularized them in movies, and soon teenagers everywhere were wearing them, turning the t-shirt into a symbol of youth. Companies quickly realized this and began selling t-shirts with designs on them, first to teens and then to people of all ages.
You know, I was watching this video and it got me thinking about *The Wizard of Oz*. Apparently, nobody’s quite sure where the idea for those graphic tees we all wear came from. The video says it’s possible the costume designer saw one somewhere, but most experts believe he actually *created* the concept specifically for the movie! It’s wild to think that such a classic film – and seriously, *The Wizard of Oz* is one of the biggest movies ever – might be responsible for this everyday piece of clothing we all have in our closets now. It’s a pretty cool thought!
