Soiled upper clothing
A stained shirt is a shirt marked by discoloration from spilled substances—food, drink, ink, sweat.
The phrase often signals embarrassment or poor grooming: He showed up to the interview in a stained shirt.
A stained shirt can mark someone as careless, slovenly, or simply unlucky with their morning coffee.
