Shirt
Garment for the upper body / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A shirt is a cloth garment for the upper body (from the neck to the waist).
For other uses, see Shirt (disambiguation).
Originally an undergarment worn exclusively by men, it has become, in American English, a catch-all term for a broad variety of upper-body garments and undergarments. In British English, a shirt is more specifically a garment with a collar, sleeves with cuffs, and a full vertical opening with buttons or snaps (North Americans would call that a "dress shirt", a specific type of collared shirt). A shirt can also be worn with a necktie under the shirt collar.
