The Shirt, a must-have clothing piece in everyone’s wardrobe, is an invention that dates back to the foundation of Rome, where it was used as a lightweight garment, usually made of linen, to be worn under the tunic. The then invisible garment will remain in vogue even up to 1500: It is in these years that the shirt stops being just a garment to wear during bathing, and sleeves began being attached. During the XVII century, the shirt underwent a renewal and, for the aristocratic class, it almost became a symbol. The lace distinguished them from the plebs, while it was only during the nineteenth and twentieth century that the garment also took on political connotations: the Garibaldinis wore red shirts, the fascists wore black shirts and the Nazis distinguished themselves with garments of brown color. The collar was then short and vertical, a pistagna model - which is now called "Korean style" - According to Lord Brummell, a true eighteenth-century dandy, the cuffs had to be well starched and closed with cufflinks. Until the Twentieth century, when shirts first became sportswear and then workwear, and jeans became a symbol of rebellion, they began to assert themselves and a new fashion era was born.
