A '''shirt''' is an item of [[clothing]] worn on the upper body. Most shirts have a collar and long sleeves, and do up at the front using buttons. However, short-sleeved shirts, collarless shirts and shirts with other fastenings are reasonably common. Most shirts are made from a light material such as [[cotton]], or synthetic fibers such as [[polyester]] which require less ironing, or a blend of more than one type of fabric. In the sixteenth century, pious men who believed that they had [[sin]]ned would sometimes wear a [[hair]] shirt as penance, as the garment was deliberately uncomfortable. The women's equivalent of a shirt is often called a [[blouse]]. The team uniforms of [[soccer]] teams are known as shirts, although they have no buttons and more resemble [[T-shirt]]s. The word 'shirt' derives from the same root as '[[skirt]]', even though in the present day they refer to two completely different types of garb. On formal occasions, men are generally expected to wear a shirt underneath a [[jacket]].
