Evolution of shirt From 19th to 20th

First worn by
women and men
as
undergarments,
linen, nettle or
cotton shirt
enveloped the
body and
protected it from
the aggressive,
rough clothes
worn over it and
also played a

the garment was
easier to wash
and care for.
 Early 19th Century Shirt
The shirt fullness
gradually become more
contained. The collar
and button closure
gave it more structure.
Since a jacket or
redingote was worn
over it, the shirt,

body, had to have less
volume.

The sleeve bottoms and collar were still visible and were the only
areas that were decorated in the endless variations. Cuffs finished off
the sleeves and all types of neckties appeared.

typified the youth
movement of the
late 60’s and early
70’s.
