- Do you usually wear T-shirts?
No, as a teacher, I don’t wear T-shirts often, except when dressing casually. However, I do agree that they’re incredibly comfortable and versatile, which is why they’re a go-to choice for many people in their day-to-day lives. When I was younger, T-shirts were a staple of my wardrobe—whether I was running errands, meeting friends, or just relaxing at home, a well-fitted T-shirt always felt appropriate. These days, though, I tend to opt for more formal attire.
- Do you like T-shirts with pictures or prints?
I generally prefer simple, plain T-shirts, but occasionally I enjoy wearing those with subtle prints or minimalistic designs. A T-shirt with a meaningful graphic or a clever slogan can add a touch of individuality and personality to an otherwise basic outfit. That being said, I’m not a fan of overly bold or flashy designs, as they can come across as a bit too loud for my taste.
- Do you think older people who wear T-shirts are fashionable?
Absolutely, age should never be a barrier to fashion choices. In fact, older people who wear T-shirts can be just as fashionable as anyone else. When paired with classic items like a blazer, or well-tailored trousers, a T-shirt can create a stylish yet effortless look. Ultimately, fashion is about confidence and self-expression, and if someone feels good in a T-shirt, that’s what makes them truly fashionable, regardless of their age.
- Have you ever bought a T-shirt as a souvenir from a holiday/vacation?
Yes, I used to buy T-shirts as souvenirs when I was younger, but I don’t do it as much now. For example, I once picked up a T-shirt from a street market in Hue, a city in Vietnam, which reminded me of the trip. However, these days I prefer collecting more unique or lasting items like keychains or souvenir bears, as they feel more personal and practical.
