The Birth of the Shirt:

From Antiquity to Modern Cotton Styles

 The shirt is an indispensable part of elegance and style today. But in fact, its story goes back thousands of years, to Antiquity. Back then, shirts were mostly made of linen. Linen was known for keeping people cool in hot climates, and it was not just a garment but also a symbol of status. From Ancient Egypt to Rome, linen shirts were favored by important segments of society. Over time, the shirt took on different meanings. In the Middle Ages, embroidered shirts were part of the wardrobes of nobles and aristocrats. By the 19th century, detachable collars and buttons had transformed the shirt into one of the key elements of modern fashion. It was no longer just an undergarment, but a visible expression of style in all areas of social life. Today, shirts have reached an entirely new level. Linen has given way to cotton. Cotton is a much more comfortable, practical, and stylish option for everyday use. Thanks to its ability to absorb sweat and breathe, it provides all-day comfort. Cotton–lycra blends adapt to the body and resist wrinkling, ensuring a crisp look throughout the day. Modern slim-fit cotton shirts are the final stage in the evolution of the shirt. Now, shirts are indispensable not only in business life but also in daily wear. Whether with a suit at the office, with jeans in the street, or at special events, they combine elegance and comfort. The history of the shirt began with linen, but today’s shirt is born from cotton. Discover our cotton shirt collection and carry this thousand-year tradition into modern times.
