Introduction To Shirts

Shirt is a kind of shirt that can be worn between inner and outer tops, or worn separately. Men's shirts usually have pockets on the chest and sleeves at the cuffs. In the Zhou Dynasty of China, there was a shirt called Zhongyi, which was later called Zhongdan. In the Han Dynasty, close fitting clothes were called toilet stalls. The name of shirt has been used in the Song Dynasty. It is now called Chinese shirt. In the 16th century BC, the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt had shirts, which were collarless and sleeveless tunics. The shirts worn by Normans in the 14th century had collars and sleeves. In the 16th century, it was popular in Europe to embroider the collar and chest of shirts, or to decorate lace at the collar, cuffs and chest. At the end of the 18th century, the British wore high collar shirts. During the Victorian period (1837-1901), high collar shirts were eliminated, forming a modern Western style shirt with vertical lapels. In the 1840s, western shirts were introduced into China. Shirts were originally used for men, but gradually adopted by women in the 1950s, and now become one of the commonly used clothing.
