History of the Men’s Shirt

The men’s shirt is truly a legendary piece of clothing. Almost every man has at least one in his wardrobe. The history of the first shirts goes far back in time, and their purpose depended on the country and the people who wore them. For example, among the Maya tribes, only the high priest could wear a shirt, and only during special rituals — usually ceremonies of gratitude to the gods of fertility. These garments were made of hemp fiber, tied with strings instead of buttons, and were much longer than modern shirts.

Similar shirts were worn in France, but they were made of natural linen and used as nightwear. Only wealthy people could afford a white shirt, as they had to pay not only for the garment itself but also for laundry services. Around the same time in ancient Rus, shirts were used as workwear during haymaking — they were long and protected the legs from insects.

In different eras and cultures, shirts looked different and served different purposes. How did they become the “men’s shirt” as we know it today? The first models with collars appeared in France at the end of the 16th century. This was the ruff collar, which still exists today in women’s fashion. At that time, only very rich people — nobles and famous commanders — could afford such shirts. They cost as much as an apartment does today. Because of this, the style began to be copied, and the shirt gradually became an essential part of formal business wear.

The first modern collars appeared in the mid-19th century in Italy. Garibaldi’s red shirt became the prototype of the modern collared shirt. Today, shirts combine perfectly with many styles and are worn both to business meetings and dates. To get an exclusive, practical, and comfortable item, it is best to choose designer models. Such men’s shirts can be bought in any city in Ukraine through the Seven Mountains website.
