衬 (chèn) - use 裇 when referring to a type of shirt with a specific cultural or casual connotation, while 衬 typically refers to a lining or an undershirt.
When using 裇, be mindful that it is less common than its synonym T恤 (T xù), which refers specifically to T-shirts.

Although 裇 is not included in the HSK vocabulary list, it can be connected to clothing-related words like 衣服 (yīfu, clothing) and 裙子 (qúnzi, skirt). Focus on recognizing its usage in the context of clothing to enhance vocabulary related to fashion.
