Abstract
Wearing clothes such as the white shirt is a part of everyday life and history. In the 21st century, the
persistence of the white shirt as a staple basic menswear garment is still apparent, and thus the focus of
this range.
The white menswear button- up shirt is not simply worn for any insignificant reason but may signify a
number of associations, such as: purity, status, class, righteousness or it may even stand as a symbol of
human rights. I would also want to add eco-consciousness to these meanings. As environmental
awareness increases and the need to curb the effects of global warming becomes more pressing, the
design-conscious and eco-conscious consumer plays a fundamental role in achieving this role.
