Even everyday basics like t-shirts deserve more than a static product photo, and shoppers agree.
Why Video Matters for T-Shirts Brands
While t-shirts may seem simple, they’re one of the most frequently worn items in any wardrobe—and shoppers are paying attention. In our survey of 219 fashion consumers, 68% said they want confirmation that a t-shirt runs true to size. 43% want detailed insight into material softness and breathability, and 32% want to assess whether the price reflects quality. These insights show that video content has become a vital part of evaluating even basic apparel.
What T-shirt Shoppers Want
T-shirt shoppers expect shoppable videos that offer more than just a front-facing pose. They want to see how the tee drapes, stretches, wrinkles, and holds up under real conditions. Try-on videos that showcase the neckline, sleeve length, and torso fit help consumers gauge whether the style matches their personal preferences.
Videos that include shrink tests after washing, transparency checks under bright light, and demonstrations of breathability during movement are especially effective. When creators style the same shirt in multiple ways—tucked, layered, or dressed up—it increases perceived value and encourages purchase.
For Brands:
Encourage creators to compare multiple sizes and wear the item in various situations (e.g., a work-from-home day, errands, or layered for going out). Ask for honest commentary on comfort, softness, and styling flexibility. Always include a clear product link within the shoppable video so viewers can buy instantly.
