While cotton T-shirts are certainly the most comfortable for everyday use, don't make the mistake of wearing them for your workout. They retain moisture, which makes them heavy and increases the risk of chafing and irritation.

You also need a shirt that fits well (showing off your awesome muscles), gives you enough room to move around, and survives heavy sweating/regular washing.
