Why do you think Daisy sobs when Gatsby shows her his shirts? It is in Chapter 5 in the Great Gatsby

cries
whenshows her his collection of tailor-made shirts because she knows it is vulgar to be showing
her the shirts in the first place and bragging about how he has them specially made and
imported. The shirts themselves are in bad taste because they are too colorful and ostentatious.
Furthermore, Daisy cries because she understands that Gatsby doesn't even realize he is being
vulgar. She understands that he is trying to impress her with his wardrobe and is doing just the
opposite. She may have been infatuated with him once when he was a handsome young officer, but
she cannot love the man he has become. She is crying for herself and for him and for the cruelty
of life and the remorselessness of the passage of time. She probably feels that she does not
deserve the worship that made Gatsby spend so much of his life trying to become worthy of
her.
