In my opinion, Gatsby's shirts are significant because
they show just how far Gatsby is willing to go to get Daisy. In addition, her reaction
to them, in my opinion, shows how shallow she is.
The whole
house and the shirts and everything are Gatsby's attempt to get Daisy to love him. He
wants to show her just how rich and classy he is. He is so classy that he even has his
shirts sent over from England (and lots of them).
When
Daisy sees them, she breaks down and cries. If she were a more genuine person, you
would think she would be overcome by emotion on seeing Gatsby or on hearing him say
something. But instead, what gets her is his material
possessions.
