The term "Dickie shirt" or "dickey" refers to a false shirt front, typically worn to give the appearance of a full shirt under a jacket or sweater. The origin of the name is somewhat unclear, but it may derive from a diminutive form of the name Richard, which was historically used as a slang term for any small or auxiliary garment. The design was popular for its practicality and ability to create a polished look without the bulk of a full shirt.
