I would have called the first one a blouse, not a shirt, but now that I think about it, I mostly only ever hear my mother use the word. Is it Commonwealth usage?

I don't think it's geography.

I heard blouse a lot more in my childhood than I do now. Slacks are another term that I rarely hear.

I suspect there's less of a need to use different words for men's fashion and women's fashion.

"blouse" was used in the south as well.
