The Formal T-shirt
Everybody wears T-shirts, yes? There's a hell of a lot of them out there, with just about every colour you can think of. It's getting the right combination of T-shirt with everything else which is what makes it all work. Depending on where you are, or what you're doing, there's always a right style of T-shirt to wear.
If for instance you were planning to go to an occasion of some sort, it's the formality that matters most - it's best to wear more monotone colours i.e. grey's, blue's, brown's etc. With more of a plain feel to it, they're in essence more 'wearable' with different things, as there's not much depth to them. If you want to keep that classy-man appearance, go with the plain & simple; it'll always work, I assure you.
Combining T-shirts with denim jackets is common if you're going for a smart-casual theme. However, wearing a simple blazer has grown to be more popular when wearing with a T-shirt. Wearing a blazer is always going to look smart, so save your best ones for when it really matters.
Avoid bright colours/designs! Things like prints on your T-shirts decrease the professionalism in your appearance. I've learnt this from wearing them - I thought I looked cool wearing a multicoloured 'aztec disarray' of spikes and swirls, all to find in actual fact, I didn't fit in with a so called 'black tie' event (I'm not saying it's good to fit in at all, wear original stuff!). Take a look at the image below; you'll see some of the things I'm talking about:

Note how everything else they're wearing matches their T-shirt. As well as this, they all look 'the part', no matter how light or dark the shade of colour is, you can manage to make it work. I've added in a few links below to some affordable, and some designer T-shirts:
