WHAT DOES DRESS SHIRT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dress shirt

A shirt, button shirt, dress shirt, button-front, button-front shirt, or button-up shirt is a garment with a collar, and a full-length opening at the front from the collar to the hem. While traditionally dress shirts were worn by men, in the mid-1800s it also became an item of women's clothing and is worn by both sexes today. The front opening is fastened using buttons or studs. Shirts are normally made from woven cloth, and are often accompanied by a jacket and tie, for example with a suit or formalwear, but shirts are also worn more casually. In British English, dress shirt means specifically the more formal evening garment worn with black- or white- tie, also discussed below. Some of these formal shirts have stiff fronts and detachable collars attached with collar studs. The term "button-down" is sometimes used in error to apply to all shirts, being used as a synonym for "button-up" or "button-front".
