The not-so-humble T-shirt continues to be big news in retail where fashionable stripes, retro baseball designs and hi-tech fabrics are setting the pace. We take a look at the latest styles and their imprint pairs

First up this month is the Active Quick Dry Print T-Shirt from M&S, a 90% polyester/10% elastane style that taps into the eternally popular athleisure trend. This moisture-wicking crew-neck with stretch meets its imprint match in Gamegear’s new Compact Stretch Performance T-Shirt (K939). Made from 90% polyester/10% spandex, it has flatlock stitched seams and self-fabric double-layer ribbed collar.
