'das Shirt' and 'das Hemd' are both items of clothing for the upper body. 'Shirt' usually means a light, fairly casual top made of cotton, often without a collar and without a button placket. 'Hemd' typically means a garment with a collar, sleeves, and buttons down the front. It often looks a bit neater or more formal. Learners may confuse the words because both are worn on the upper body. For free time and sports, 'Shirt' is usually appropriate; for the office, a celebration, or a neat outfit, 'Hemd' is more likely.
