In the world of fashion, particularly swimwear and lingerie, "T back" refers to a style of clothing where the back of the garment forms a 'T' shape. The term is most commonly used to describe certain types of bras, swimsuits, and thong underwear.
Key details include:
- Style: The 'T' design is created by thin straps coming together in the middle of the back, forming a 'T' or sometimes a 'Y' shape. This is why it's also sometimes called a 'Y-back'.
- Purpose: The 'T' back design helps to keep straps in place, prevent them from slipping off the shoulders, and allows for greater range of arm motion. Therefore, 'T' back styles are often found in sports bras and swimsuits.
- Visibility: Because of the way the straps converge, 'T' back garments can often be worn under racerback tops or other open-back styles without showing.
