Dear Fellas:
The undershirt is not a fashion accessory. It serves a purpose. To put it mildly, its the closest thing you guys have that parallels “feminine protection”. Do the ladies of the world a favor by wearing one of these and you can protect her from bad odors and visible signs of sweat.
Living in Houston, I’m always amazed that more dudes haven’t figured out that the undershirt is ACTUALLY an ally. There are tons of ways to wear it incorrectly, but follow these few simple tips and you’ll be golden.
Tip #1: V-neck or Crew Neck?
If you’re wearing a polo or button down with a few buttons open, wear a v-neck. If you’re wearing a button down with a tie, then opt for the crew neck. It should never show.
Tip#2: WHITE is all you need.
This is not the place to get creative with color. Unless you are dressing up as one of the characters from Saved By The Bell OR you shop at American Eagle (and are still in high school), we don’t want to see how great you are at mixing and matching.
Tip#3: Don’t wear sleeveless undershirts!
This totally defeats the purpose it serves. (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, let me redirect you to paragraph 1). Plus, if you wear a button down shirt with thin material, and we can see through it, something starts to scream Jersy Shore…p.s. that’s a bad thing.
Tip#4: Make sure it fits.
If you’ve washed it a million times and its shrunk with pit stains, probably time to head down to the store and pick up another multi-pack. Also, if you’re wearing one that is all stretched out or too big and the undershirt can be seen hanging out of your polo shirt arm holes, probably not getting you points, either. Its like anything else: make sure it fits and looks presentable.
Remember to keep it simple. Your undershirt is there to protect you. Maybe help you get a little closer to that special lady. It should never stand out and distract from your outfit. YOU should be noticed…not your undergarments!
