Japanese term or phrase: 中衣
Context: a list of items including 外衣・中衣

Client`s definition for 中衣=上着の下に着るシャツ等

Other than "clothes", any idea on how to translate this? Client wants to avoid "undergarments".

Thank you!

Explanation:
http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/intermediate garment
I think it's better to give a definition of "intermediate garment" because it's not a widely used term. (Usually shirts are considered "outerwear" as as they are worn outside of "innerwear".)

外衣、中衣、and 内衣 respectively correspond with outer garment, intermediate garment, and inner garment.
