Do You Like To Wear T-Shirts?

Marketers of T-shirts say that the average person has more than 25 T-shirts in his/her chest of drawers or closet. What about you?
Funny thing: I don’t wear T-shirts at all, except a couple oversize ones that I sleep in once in a while in the summertime. However, I have collected some very NICE T-shirts from my traveling days. A colorful T-shirt, usually with the name of the country, was one of the souvenirs that I always purchased when I traveled to different countries. I still have all of them in a plastic tub. None of them have ever been worn.
My daughter suggested that I make a quilt of them and I’ve considered it but don’t really know where to begin.
I’ve noticed, especially at the beach, that shops have dozens of racks of T-shirts for sale. I wonder who invented T-shirts. They’ve been around for many years. I remember that my father always wore a white T-shirt underneath his button-up shirt, even in the summer.
What about you? Do you like to wear T-shirts?

Maybe fodder for another post on the invention of the T-shirt:
The t-shirt is arguably the most popular outer garment in the entire world. Coming in a range of styles, colors and sizes there is quite literally a t-shirt for everyone. But where did this iconic garment come from and how did it become so popular?

@MALUSE Wow! Great link to the history of T-shirts. Thanks for adding to the discussion. I was hoping that someone would expand on the information.

I don't like T-shirts either. I don't think they fit my personality. I like to dress up when I go out somewhere.

I have a lot of band tees, I don't have many plan t-shirts. I don't even own any blouses or things like that haha I love t-shirts, especially when they are huge.

I wear t shirts on a daily basis. They are comfortable and suit me too.

They are comfortable, if the fabric is soft.

tank tops are popular too, for those who have pretty arms. I don't like to see them on older persons like me whose arms are a bit flabby.

T-shirts are comfortable, I think. I just have never gotten into the habit of wearing them. I like a different style.

I never wear t shirts, they just don't look good on me. I like the idea of somehow making a quilt with them. We have a lot of crafty myLotters who could probably give you some ideas.

T-shirts don't look good on me either. At least, I don't think so. Yes some myLotters have made some suggestions for "how-tos" on Youtube. I looked at them but it just seems so complicated and I have none of the tools I need to make a quilt.

@IreneVincent How about a photo collage of all the shirts in a pretty frame?

@1creekgirl Now, I never thought of that. Thanks for the idea. I really like that idea. Then, I could just give the shirts to my kids and grandkids and let them wear them but I would still "have them" as a souvenir. Thank you so much.

I guess t-shirts are popular in many countries. They are comfortable, especially if they are made from soft fabric.

Some have much more than 25, so I guess the AVERAGE person has 25, when you factor those who have more with those who have less. I have less.

@IreneVincent Having read Malu's comment I realise more of mine are polo shirts with collars.

That average is probably right for me. I wear nothing but tees.

I like wearing big t-shirts when I'm at my place. I love pairing them with pajama bottoms.

Yes, that's what I do sometimes. I bought a couple big t-shirts to sleep in.

Yes, I don't think t-shirts are very fashionable. But, OK to wear for sports and leisure.

Yes, that's definitely a plus, easy laundering and no ironing.

I love wearing tshirts and I have some really neat superhero ones. Like Spiderman and Superman.
