shirt

Buttoned upper covering

A shirt is a garment covering the torso, typically with sleeves and a front opening or pullover design.

The word usually means a button-front dress shirt or a casual top like a T-shirt, distinguished from sweaters, jackets, and underwear.

To lose your shirt is to lose everything in a failed venture.

To keep your shirt on is to stay calm.
