The fundamental counting principle is the easiest to use to find the number of permutations in this case.

By the Fundamental Counting Principle:\textbf{Fundamental Counting Principle:} If an event can occur in mm ways and a second event can occur in nn ways, then the total number of possible ways that these events occur together is equal to mnm\cdot n. This can be extended to more than 2 events.

Each time a shirt is placed in the closet, the number of shirts (choices) decreases by 1 so the number of possible permutations is:

654321=7206\cdot 5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 1=\color{#c34632}720
