What is telynashka?

Telynashka is a traditional striped shirt primarily worn by sailors and fishermen in Russia and other countries bordering the Baltic Sea. The term 'telynashka' means "body shirt" in Russian, and it is believed to have originated from the traditional underwear worn by Russian soldiers.

The shirt is made of a soft and comfortable fabric such as cotton or wool and features a distinctive horizontal stripe pattern, typically in blue or white. The stripes vary in width and number depending on the region or country where it is worn.

The telynashka shirt has practical features that make it suitable for sailors and fishermen. It has a round neckline with a placket in the front, making it easy to put on and take off. It also has long sleeves that can be rolled up and secured with a button.

Today, the telynashka shirt has become a popular fashion item, worn by both men and women in Russia and around the world. It is often styled with jeans or shorts and worn as a casual summer outfit.
