Long-sleeved T-shirt

Long-sleeved T-shirt

A long-sleeved shirt is a type of shirt, often misinterpreted as a T-Shirt, in the style of a T-shirt, which the original kind is short-sleeved, but with long sleeves. It has been an acceptable piece of fashion since the 1970s. Since the mid-1980s, it has often been worn underneath a short-sleeved T-shirt for a nice-looking, warm combination. That style is typically done in the fall and winter.

Long sleeve T-Shirts are also becoming a common summer garmet for younger generations, due to indoor air conditioning, and the concern of sunburn.
