A shirt is a piece of clothing for the trunk of the body.

In the UK, it refers most often to what Americans call a dress shirt or tailored shirt, i.e., a garment with a collar, cuffs, and a full vertical opening with buttons. In the U.S. it tends to have a vaguer meaning, being applied to many types of (mainly men's) tops, leaving the word "top" generally for ladieswear.

Some common types or synonyms of shirts and tops:

  • T-shirt — a casual shirt without a collar or buttons, usually short-sleeved.
  • polo shirt — a v-neck shirt with a full collar; opening often closed with buttons or zipper. Short or long sleeve.
  • shirt or dress shirt — a shirt with collar and full vertical opening with buttons; left and right sides of this shirt meet with the placket front.
  • tank top — a sleeveless T-shirt.
    • wife beater — a tank top worn as an outer layer, also called an "A-shirt" or athletic shirt
    • construction shirt — essentially a sleeveless t-shirt with large armholes. Often worn by construction workers for increased movability.
    • camisole — woman's undershirt with narrow straps, or a similar garment worn alone (often with bra). Also referred to as a cami, shelf top, spaghetti straps or strappy top.
    • tunic — primitive shirt, distinguished by two-piece construction. Initially a men's garment, is normally seen in modern times being worn by women.
  • blouse — lady's shirt; the term is also used for some men's military uniform shirts.
  • nightshirt — often oversized, ruined or inexpensive light cloth undergarment shirt for sleeping.
  • sweatshirt — cotton or synthetic athletic shirt, with or without hood.
  • rugby shirt — typically a rugged long-sleeved polo shirt, of thick cotton or wool.
  • Hawaiian shirt — a colourful short-sleeve dress shirt. Actually called an Aloha shirt, but is often also called a "tropical shirt," hawaiian shirts are often not fitted and are woven from very light fabric.
  • guayabera — an embroidered dress shirt with four pockets.
  • golf shirt — same as polo shirt, typically embroidered with club or designer insignia; maybe be short or long-sleeved. Often worn with a sweater vest.
  • halfshirt — a high-hemmed t-shirt.
  • baseball shirt — usually distinguished by a three quarters sleeve, team insignia, and flat waistseam.
  • fishnet shirt, transparent, initially popular fashion item of the punk or goth subcultures. See e.g. *
