Etymology

The term 'chemise' originates from the Old French word 'chemise', which means 'shirt' or 'tunic'. It is derived from the Latin word 'camisia', meaning 'shirt'. The use of the word can be traced back to the Middle Ages when the chemise was worn by both men and women as a basic garment. Over time, the chemise became associated more with women's clothing, particularly as fashion evolved to include more elaborate and ornamental designs. The chemise's association with femininity and delicacy has continued into modern fashion, where it is often seen as both a practical and a stylish piece of clothing.
