Men’s shirt, 5 thousand years old   

The oldest surviving shirt dates back to 3000 BC. This is the most ancient garment in the world that has survived to our time.

Until the 20th century, the shirt remained an exclusively male garment and used to be worn as underwear. In medieval works, the shirt, as the main outerwear, used to be worn only by representatives of the lower strata of society. Until the 19th century, showing your shirt was considered something indecent and immoral.

Anyone could buy a men’s shirt, or rather sew or order from a tailor; it wasn’t a luxury. Although in the 16th century lace, jabot or embroidery began to be sewn to the collar. Not everyone could afford such garments. Colored shirts began to appear much later, almost in the 20th century. Prior to that, they were considered mauvais ton.

In the English language the word “shirt” is a broader concept than in Ukrainian. You can see a whole list of varieties of shirts if you read a Wikipedia article about them in English. We understand that when buying a men’s shirt, you can see a more or less similar set of details in one garment:
