I often wear t-shirts under dress shirts though, largely because I don't want to sweat through a powder blue button-up when it's hot, and because I don't want to shiver when it's cold.

Also, you can rewear the same shirt without putting it through the wash.  :outback:

So undershirts are a good thing for poor people?

The article states that an exposed undershirt when wearing a dress shirt is a fashion faux pas. I found this immediately concerning, because I dress like that a lot.

I don't know why that wouldn't be common knowledge.

I wear A-Shirts.  Otherwise known as vests (UK?) or unfortunately wife-beaters.

See, I don't get that.  Part of the purpose--at least for me-- of an undershirt is to help with containing perspiration, saving your dress shirt from an ugly death from armpit stains.  Wifebeaters defeat that concept.

Yeah, I don't know why, but they feel right.  Though my pops has said I "look like a Puerto Rican" when I wear them.  He wasn't really being negative with that, I should say.

Fuck you.  Your job will be gone soon and you'll wish you had a t-shirt.

I haven't worn an undershirt or vest or anything of he sort as a regular thing since I was a kid. Only ever somewhat do it, and usually with a second regular shirt rather than a special undershirt, on particular days when I'm working outside and it is cold.

Don't you sweat more on account of wearing two layers though?

Not all of us live in NYC and some of us are straight.  :P

I'm going to see if I can take a survey on this today at the office. I bet a majority of straight American men have an undershirt exposed, but it may be close (some of us go back and forth). I also work in accounting, so that may skew things.

Not much more.  It's like boxer shorts.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
