Title: Reviewing the concept of the "pure" white menswear shirt
Authors: Vermeulen, Lester Jacque

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.
