I believe the answer is:

yet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'still' is the definition.
(yet can mean still or so far)

'old-fashioned style of shirt' is the wordplay.
'old-fashioned style of' becomes 'ye' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'shirt' becomes 't' (as in a T-shirt).
'ye'+'t'='YET'

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yet that I've seen before include "'But, however (3)'" , "in spite of that" , "Still; however" , "Still; nevertheless" , "Up to the present time" .)
