Shirts - A Better Option?
When it comes to picking out an outfit, comfort often takes center stage, and for many, that means reaching for a t-shirt. But have you ever considered why shirts might be a better option—especially when it comes to sustainability, style, and longevity?
At Breakkin Even, our philosophy revolves around creating small, made-to-order collections that prioritize sustainability and quality. We believe in slowing down fast fashion and crafting garments that stand the test of time. So why do we favor shirts over t-shirts? Let’s break it down.
- Shirts Last Longer
While t-shirts may fade and lose their shape after just a few washes, shirts, especially those made from durable, high-quality fabrics, are designed for longevity. Take our Linen Summer Shirt with a removable collar—it’s crafted from 100% linen, designed to keep you cool while maintaining its shape and structure over time. Shirts like this one are built to last, making them a sustainable alternative to disposable fashion.
Pro Tip: Compare how many t-shirts in your wardrobe have worn out quickly with how long a well-made shirt has lasted. The difference in quality and durability speaks volumes.
- Shirts Offer Versatility
Unlike t-shirts, a well-crafted shirt can effortlessly take you from day to night. Whether you’re looking for something casual or a more refined style, shirts provide structure and sophistication. Our Linen Summer Shirt even features a removable collar, giving you the flexibility to switch up your look depending on the occasion. With one shirt and three collar options, your wardrobe instantly becomes more versatile.
Fun Fact: Shirts have been around for centuries and, while they were initially worn as undergarments, they’ve evolved into a symbol of timeless elegance and practicality.
- Shirts Are More Sustainable
T-shirts are often mass-produced in bulk, contributing to the wasteful cycle of fast fashion. At Breakkin Even, our made-to-order approach ensures that each piece is crafted specifically for you, significantly reducing waste. Whether it’s the Cotton Sateen Shirt with its wrinkle-resistant and hypoallergenic properties or the Linen Cut Sleeve Shirt with its breezy design and zipper-collar innovation, these shirts are designed to be staples in your wardrobe for years, not just a season.
Sustainability Tip: By investing in high-quality shirts that are built to last, you not only reduce waste but also contribute to a more sustainable fashion industry.
- Shirts Make a Statement
A shirt allows for greater self-expression, offering versatility and flair that a t-shirt simply can’t match. Our Linen Cut Sleeve Shirt, for example, features an innovative zipper detail on the collar, allowing you to experiment with different styles and shapes. Wearing a shirt is more than just dressing up—it’s about making a statement with your look and feeling confident in your choices.
Make the Switch to Shirts
At Breakkin Even, we’re not just creating clothes; we’re shaping a movement towards mindful, sustainable fashion. Our shirts—whether it’s the adaptable Linen Summer Shirt , the sophisticated Cotton Sateen Shirt, or the bold Linen Cut Sleeve Shirt—are all made to order, crafted with sustainability and longevity in mind.
