・Tシャツ（tī-shatsu）
・ティーシャツ（tī-shatsu）
The word for “T-shirt” in Japanese is “Tシャツ (tī-shatsu).” It’s a direct loanword from English, pronounced with a Japanese accent. You’ll also sometimes see it written as “ティーシャツ,” but this is less common and often used in fashion contexts for stylistic reasons. The pronunciation and meaning remain the same in both cases. This word is universally understood in Japan, so you can use it when talking about clothes or shopping without any issues!
