However, unlike the use of it over the years that followed, the Romans wore it under the tunic so that it was not visible. Subsequently, based on some writings from the Renaissance era, it seems that the shirt was called a camisas, it was used by men but also by women in the communal bathroom. In this case the aim of the shirt was to cover up one's modesty with other people present in a huge wooden tub. Towards the end of the of 1500s, the shirt began to assume the shape that we recognize today. In fact, it was during that period that sleeves were introduced. However, throughout its history, the shirt as taken on particular features, becoming a real status symbol. Over the years, the collar was also added (classic or Korean), a long line of buttons (originally there were only two at the top of the collar) and the cuffs.
