STYLE ADVICE

Put your neck on the line

T-shirts are like oxygen – we all need them to live. OK, that might be overkill. But the point is that every man has a favourite T-shirt that, if polite society would only allow, he would wear every single day of his life.

They're the Swiss Army Knife of your wardrobe, and as such, should be treated with respect. With that in mind, we've compiled a handy guide to the many, many different types of tee you might find yourself drawn to.
