yellow shirt

Canary-colored garment

A yellow shirt is simply a shirt that is yellow—nothing more specific than the color.

The phrase has no fixed idiomatic meaning in English, though context may supply one: supporters of Thailand's royalist movement wear yellow shirts as a political identifier, and in cycling, the yellow jersey (maillot jaune) marks the race leader.

Otherwise, She wore a yellow shirt describes only what it says.
