How is this called?

since people have answered your question, your title should read "**what** is this called?"

*what* is this called?

For women, the first shirt might be called a "blouse." The second shirt would be called a "dress shirt." For men, this style shirt is a "dress shirt."

button-down shirt or just "a button-down"

Button up shirt

I'd say shirt. Brit English native speaker.

Looks like a button-down shirt. The "👕" emoji is specifically a t-shirt.

Button down or dress shirt

Calling it a shirt works. If the first one was a woman’s shirt, I’d call it a blouse. Otherwise, I’d call them dress shirts, indicating that they’re a bit dressier than regular shirts or button-down shirts.

"Shirt" can refer to any type of top. Specifically, I'd say that's a button-down shirt.

I would say "dress shirt". As others have said "button-down shirt" would also be acceptable.

NZer here: So a button-down shirt is just a shirt with buttons???!? I've always assumed it was one with buttons on the collar, that buttons over a tie. So just wearing not-a-t-shirt is a synonym for being over-formal or a bit pretentious? Wow. In my English, this is just a shirt, as opposed to a t-shirt or a polo shirt. A less formal shirt would be a short-sleeved shirt. A white one might be called a business shirt.

"What is this called" Every second post always has the same incompetent moronic question , always asking "how" instead "what" ... it's not hard. Who , What , When , Where & Why ... learn that shit asap.

Black shirt

Black French placket shirt

The second image is a “button-up shirt”

A shirt or dress shirt, the other one is a T- Shirt, Polo shirt etc etc all shirts then you can add the name also to define which one

button up, button down, dress shirt

*What* is this called? It’s a button-down or a button-down shirt. Can also be called a dress shirt if it’s on the nicer side and longer (i.e., meant to be tucked in).

I'd just call them shirts.

button-up or a dress shirt

Button up dress shirt

It’s a shirt. I would call 👕 a t-shirt (and wouldn’t refer to as a shirt).

"It's a shirt" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FhmSsBleXw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FhmSsBleXw)

Dress shirt or button-up (I'm from the USA). I would not personally call this a button-down. A blouse is a dress shirt for women, so it could also apply, depending on semantics

A shirt.

A button-up

Button-up (unisex), button-down (unisex), dress shirt (unisex, more common for men's shirts though), blouse (for women's dress shirts exclusively.) There might be a difference between the terms that a tailor would know, but average people use the words interchangeably. They're also regional, but pretty much everyone will know what you mean regardless of whatever word you use.

"Button-up" or "button-down shirt", "dress shirt", "Business casual". More formal, but not fancy. also, "What" would be used here as it is referring to an object. "How" is used more for the 'method of action'. It's just colloquial, it may be correct, but in american english, it's not very typical.

What is this called? 1) blouse 2) shirt

It's truly astounding how many times I've seen people on this sub fail to ask this question properly. Mods should put a rule that goes with capital letters: "It's WHAT IS THIS or WHAT IS THIS CALLED - NOT HOW IS THIS CALLED"

Apparel developer here. The men’s dress shirt is called a button up.

Should’ve said “what is this called” it is never, never “how is this called”

👕 = polo shirt 👔 = dress shirt or business shirt or button-up Your shirt looks like a “dress shirt” I don’t know if menswear officially calls it that. You’d be safe with “button up.” A woman’s “dress shirt” is called a blouse (👚) 🏃 = t-shirt or tee shirt 🏃‍♂️ = tank top

In the US this is a button up shirt. I think what you are thinking of for "shirt" is a t-shirt (pronounce the T like, well, tea)

A button up

In British English  the former js a blouse, the latter is a shirt.

Clearly there's significant regional variation, but to me (Gulf Southern US), - both of them are shirts; - the first one looks like a women's blouse; and - the second one is a men's button-**down** shirt (yes, “down” — irrespective of the specific type of collar: that's a whole nother batch of jargon) or men's dress shirt. Also the hem looks like it might be intended to be worn untucked.

Central Canada here. We would say a dress shirt, or less commonly a collared shirt

Like all fashion items it has many names across many dialects and probably several formal acceptable terms. But in everyday speaking (Native, UK) I'd just call it a shirt. The one you put the emoji on would be a T-shirt (tee shirt).

*What is this called?

With a phone!

Button up answer may vary depending on what certain people like to call it but they all really mean the same thing

It's a shirt. This type shirt could be called a dress shirt, button up shirt, or blouse (this last one would just be for women)

I see a shirt and jacket in the first picture, and a shirt in the second picture

How about "Oxford Shirt"? Try googling it, is that what you're thinking of?

This is a deceptively layered question! The first shirt you shared would be called a blouse (or a button-up blouse to be specific) in the womens section and the second shirt would be a button-up in the mens. If the shirt has additional buttons on the collar to hold it down, that would be called a button-down shirt. If the shirt has buttons as well as long sleeves, that's most commonly referred to as a dress shirt. And just for fun, the name for the shirt emoji you used would be a t-shirt.

We call it a button-down.

this is women shirt

As you can see here, English speakers didn't even agree on what they call this. You can call out whatever you want and no one will care

What is this called? We don't use how with call. It's for a lady. It's a blouse.

Personally id say it’s a shirt or long sleeved shirt. The other one is a T-shirt or short sleeved shirt. This can refer to a shirt with or without buttons. If I needed to be specific I’d be like “I need to buy a new long sleeved button up shirt”.

The shirts in the pictures could be called a long-sleeve(d) shirt, a button-up shirt, and/or a collared shirt. Though the "collared" part is redundant with the "button-up" part. The shirt emoji you used could be called a short-sleeve(d) shirt and/or a t-shirt. I'm not sure if "-sleeve" and "-sleeved" have their own use cases or if one is more correct than the other. I *did* learn something while fact-checking myself that I thought was an interesting distinction: while both have a row of buttons on the front of the garment (not necessarily for the full length of the shirt), button-*down* shirts have buttons on the collar (you "button the collar down") while button-*up* shirts do not!

"Dress shirt" will usually give you this kind of shirt. Also, "button up," or "button down." Also, "Oxford shirt." If you want the kind of shirt with no collar, a round neck, and no buttons, that's a "t-shirt." If the t-shirt neckline dips in a "v" shape, it's a v-neck t-shirt. "Polo" is a shirt with a collar and only 3 buttons. A "rugby shirt" is almost identical to a "polo shirt" except it is longer, usually has colorful horizontal stripes, and usually has a white collar in contrast to the other colors. A "Henley shirt" has only 3 buttons and no collar. Those under shirts with just a narrow shoulder strap instead of sleeves are officially called "A-shirts." British people call them "vests," and "vests" are different in the US. Most people in the US call them something kind of impolite that's associated with domestic violence. They can also be called "tank tops." Those shirts Charlie Sheen used to wear on Two And A Half Men all the time are often referred to as "50s bowling shirts." If you want the shirt pattern that has different lines of color crossing over them, that's called "plaid." It rhymes with "dad." Many plaid shirts are made with a kind of fuzzy material worn usually in winter, called "flannel."

It is a kind of shirt--specifically, a *button-down shirt*, as distinct from other types of shirt (T-shirt, polo shirt, golf shirt, etc.). If it's for e.g. wearing with a tie, some call it a (button-down) dress shirt If it's made of thicker material and intended to be worn as a sort of light jacket, it's sometimes called a shacket (shirt + jacket).
