I've noticed some guys wear white T's under their white dress shirts.

What say ye TWW?

8/30/2011 10:22:38 AM

you've noticed?

this shit's been common practice since before you were a twinkle in your father's eye.

8/30/2011 10:23:10 AM

i do it. but don't wear a wifebeater. i always think less of someone when i see it through their under shirt.

Only a req for fatties and heavy sweaters

Other than that, do whats comfy

8/30/2011 10:24:13 AM

I'm a heavy sweater, and wearing an undershirt is a guaranteed way to make me sweat.

8/30/2011 10:26:32 AM

fat guys, heavy sweaters, and if you have sensitive nips.


i'll do it if i'm going to be in a jacket for a long period of time or another opportunity for sweating. if it's just a dress shirt at the office, unless it's really cold, i wear dress shirt only.

8/30/2011 10:27:25 AM

^^ Maybe true, but sweat stains on your undershirt are preferable to sweat stains on your Van Huesen

I can't stand wearing a white shirt under the dress shirt. I can never get the tucked dress shirt looking quite right due to the tshirt messing things up. That and in August an extra layer of clothing is unnecessary, especially if I'm already wearing long sleeves.

8/30/2011 10:31:30 AM

I wear an undershirt but only when I'm wearing a white dress shirt to work because of a tattoo i have on my shoulder blade, its nothing bad...just not exactly fortune 500 financial

if you're going to wear an undershirt, it cannot be baggy

tight undershirts will not have this problem.

8/30/2011 10:33:34 AM

i have found that nautica brand white undershirts to be the best for me. and this is after years of test various brands including CK, hanes, polo, etc.

8/30/2011 10:34:34 AM

Yeah I have tight ones but I'm pretty much an idiot when it comes to physically dressing myself so I can never get it quite right. Something always looks off when I wear the undershirt.

8/30/2011 10:34:52 AM

Its all about the tuck

Getting both shirts to stay tucked at an equal depth is nearly impossible. You can't even stretch without getting everything bunched up.

8/30/2011 10:35:18 AM

i get cold pretty easily and it cuts down on my nips pokin

8/30/2011 10:40:19 AM

a lot of the tuck has to do with the cut of your dress shirt as well. Not sure if they are this bad anymore, but I never liked Brooks Brothers because their shirts wore like a tent on me. They were cut for the 55 year old fat guy in the corner office and not an early 20s guy with a thinner build. No matter how good your tuck was you looked like a muffin man by the time you got out of your car and to your desk.

no bacon collar on my white tees

the trick to tucking in two shirts is to tuck your undershirt into your underwear, basically keeps it a separate tuck from your dress shirt. I learned this from an uncle years ago who was really into formal dressing stuff. Of course he also taught me how to give blow jobs to older men

8/30/2011 10:46:26 AM

The Guide to being a Gentleman suggests tucking your undershirt into your undershorts.

8/30/2011 10:46:53 AM

I almost always have one on, it keaps my beast hair tamed and honestly it creeps me out when i can see through someone elses dress shirt so i just don't do it.

but then of course i just stopped wearing undershirts under polos

CK is my fave .

8/30/2011 10:46:56 AM

I get a lot of my shirts from Express, they have a lot of slim fitting ones. They look excellent when I don't have an undershirt but next time it's cold I'll have to try tucking said undershirt into my underwear. I'll just have to wipe extra hard to ensure no skid marks. That would be embarrassing.

8/30/2011 10:49:33 AM

I've tried the underwear tuck several times, and I am not a fan. Besides the general awkward feeling of having something tucked into your drawers, you run the risk of getting pee dribble or shit smears on the front or back, respectively, not to mention the possibility of an accidental atomic wedgie.

8/30/2011 10:50:18 AM

how long are your undershirts?

8/30/2011 10:59:24 AM

Here's a picture of Slave Famous's undershirt.

If you're going to spend that much on dress shirts give Hugo Boss a try. They're basically tailor made for young, slim guys.

8/30/2011 11:05:26 AM

^^^ thats what I was wondering

I wear Huge Boss

8/30/2011 11:06:07 AM

Huge Boss sounds way cooler than what I suggested.

8/30/2011 11:08:49 AM

Hugo Boss? Cool, i'll give them a shot when it's time to update.

At that point aren't you getting pee dribble or shit smears on your underwear then? Sounds more like an issue with cleaning yourself up than how you are tucking things in.

i used to be a Nautica only undershirt guy but recently tried out the Starter brand from Wal_mart and have been impressed.

8/30/2011 12:27:16 PM

I wear a tank top undershirt under light shirts, and a regular t-undershirt under darker tops. It is just more comfortable and prevents sweat holes in the pits.

8/30/2011 12:30:23 PM

is Huge Boss a dramatic way of saying 4XL

Tried the underwear tuck, indeed does help.

8/30/2011 2:44:10 PM

I almost always wear undershirts under polos or dress shirts. I find that what suits me best is a longer undershirt. I put the undershirt on first, and I tuck that one in tightly. Then I put on the dress shirt and tuck it in separately. Once you get used to it you can get everything aligned right so you don't look "off."

If I have undershirt that's too short it will eventually come un-tucked underneath the dress shirt and it's a pain in the ass.

8/30/2011 3:13:52 PM

I wear them. Pretty much under any polo or button-down unless it's really hot out (and even then I'll still wear them under light-colored dress shirts). It prolongs the life of the shirt because the undershirt gets the sweat, the deodorant, etc and all that crap doesn't make it through to the outer shirt. It also lets me wear the outer shirt twice before washing if I didn't sweat heavily or get anything on it the first day, as the undershirt keeps the outer shirt from smelling funky.

8/30/2011 4:42:15 PM

I definitely wear them shits in dress shirts because of sweating but I'm thinking about switching to a v-neck undershirt. Anybody wear those?

This.

I occasionally wear an undershirt, depends on the weather and other things. I tend to sweat a lot so...
