Etymology

The term 'placket' originates from the Middle English word 'plaket', which referred to a flap or fold. This word is derived from the Old French 'plaquette', a diminutive form of 'plate', meaning a flat piece or plate of material. In the 15th century, plackets began to appear in clothing as a practical solution for accessing the body, and over time, their designs evolved to include various types of fasteners and embellishments. The use of plackets has largely been seen in women's fashion, particularly in dresses and blouses, but they are also common in men's shirts. Today, plackets remain a vital aspect of garment construction, marrying function and style.
