The shirt is a garment worn traditionally by men but which is now for both men and women. It’s a multi-variety/type item of clothing which has earned it its rightful place as a sophisticated and essential wardrobe addition. In Britain, shirts are more specifically a garment with a collar, sleeves with cuffs and a full vertical opening with buttons.
Shirts can be worn all year round as they may have no, little or full sleeves and be made from light materials such as cotton or heavier materials such as wool. Many of these natural materials are mixed together with man-made products to increase durability, improve maintenance and improve looks.
Some shirts are designed specifically for the job they are intended for. For example, rugby shirts are long sleeved garments of rugged construction in thick cotton or wool. This ensures that they are designed to withstand the rigours of tackling and heavy play with very little damage. Other examples of shirts include the polo shirt, the t-shirt, the sweatshirt and the sleeveless shirt known as a tank top.
Shirts may be embellished with some additional aspects which include pockets, buttons and hoods adding to their diversity.
