I’m 48 and have worn some form of undershirt with all my shirts (except tank tops). If it’s a tee or short sleeve shirt I always wear a white A-shirt (wifebeater), if it’s a dress shirt a crewneck white tee. I’ve done this since I was in my teens. It’s only now that I was told that’s weird that I wear undershirts by a friend that’s my age.

I also wear white Tommy John boxer briefs. Kinda pricey but OMG are they soft and the inseam is long enough on my thigh.

So anyways, when do you guys wear undershirts and what kind of underwear do you wear?

  1. Im Croatian. So, whole year.

    “2. ​Undershirts – I don’t care who you are, you wear an undershirt. Babies, toddlers, children, teens, adults, retirees. And you must tuck it in. Why? Refer to #3.

    3. You must keep your kidneys covered. Most Croatians tuck in their undershirts / shirts to avoid “showing their kidneys” (which means leaving the skin on their back exposed where their kidneys would be), which they believe somehow leads to kidney failure, or something along those lines”.

  2. Under… what? Nah bro. I wear clothes. What goes under clothes? Nothing. All that separates me from you is a thin layer of cotton. I bet my sperm could swim their way through the weaves in my denim jeans if they wanted to.

  3. I always wear a cotton undershirt.

    My father-in-law scoffed at me, “Why do you wear an undershirt? You’re just getting two shirts dirty!”

    My answer, “I don’t want to ruin my dress shirts with sweat stains.”

    I grew up in the South. Sweat stains will ruin nice shirts. That being said, I have really sensitive skin and an old worn out white t-shirt is the best.

    For the second question, I wear boxers, mostly.

  4. I’ve never worn an undershirt once in my life.

    Edit: Does a black t-shirt when wearing black dress shirts under suits count? If so, then that’s the only time. I wear Boxer briefs.

  5. I wear undershirt when I’m wearing a shirt for wedding or something formal. I wear breathable tight boxers because I have a very sweaty ass. hahah

  6. If I’m wearing a button up shirt for work… I usually wear a white V-neck underneath it.

    For underwear… I wear a pretty equal mix of boxer briefs and regular briefs.

  7. I wear crew necks and v necks that are just one solid color (I have many different colors though). If it’s winter I put some kind of thicker jacket over that and unzip it sometimes. In the summer I just wear the “undershirt”. I guess I don’t really use that term because I don’t often wear dress shirts very often.

  8. Interesting…I don’t wear undershirts ever because the extra layer will make me hot and sweaty, yet fuys here be sayin they wear one to prevent sweat stains. How does a “wifebeater” prevent sweat stains? The T-shirt under the button-up long sleeve dress shirt makes sense.

    My friends swear by undershirts for all occasions, but not me.

    I wear 100% cotton boxer trunks. Get that sweat away from your ass crack and cut the nut fog.

    Question: wtf is with wearing a T-shirt over a long sleeve?

  9. I used to do it in high school cuz I thought it looked cool to have an undershirt that complimented the outer shirt. Like black shirt and white undershirt seemed cool to teenage me.

  10. Never worn an undershirt. I’m 51. I’m hot natured so 1 layer is enough unless it is freezing out but then a jacket works.

    For years I’ve only worn meundies. Quite comfortable and they have multiple styles based upon what I’m wearing or doing.

  11. Undershirts: I wear them under button up shirts and sometimes just by themselves. I wear fitted ones, sometimes v neck and sometimes round collar. Some are white some are gray

    Underwear: None, I go commando

  12. Only on colder days and I usually wear some sort of thermal. A normal white t-shirt ain’t good enough for me to remain warm

  13. I never wear a white t-shirt under another shirt. But I do wear a t-shirt when I get up in the morning, and while lounging around in the evening. I wear briefs, and I sleep in them every night. So when I climb out of bed, I throw on a t-shirt when I walk around the house in my underwear. After dinner, I like lounging in my briefs and t-shirt until I go to bed.

  14. I think that on applies for white collar dudes with office jobs.
    I work on construction so i only wear t-shirts for work and tank tops for the gym.

    As for underwear boxers, boxers briefs some times commando if i don’t have clear underwear 😎

  15. Always. Crew, white shirt.

    Protects good shirts from sweat stains as well as hides hairy chest

  16. Over the past 60 years of my life i used any type of undies. As more i aged as more i got in wide boxers with space to hang and swing.

    Now i have some incontinence issues so i started to use pull up diaper pants. That works perfect and its giving my comfort and relaxing feeling back As there is much less pressure to serch and find a bthroom.

    As shirt i use poloshirts as top layer and a t-shirt depending on the ambient temperatur.

    Since more then 50 years i sleep fullnude.
