Should I wear an undershirt under my T-shirt? If you ask older gentlemen, they will tell you that it is necessary to wear an undershirt. Meanwhile, younger men don’t pay much attention to undershirts. I want to give you my opinion on whether you should wear an undershirt under your T-shirt or not.
You should wear an undershirt underneath your T-shirt. It protects your shirt from pit stains and odor and extends its lifetime, as it doesn’t need to be washed as often. An undershirt will make you look thinner and generally will make you feel better.
Read more reasons why it’s a good idea to wear an undershirt. Finally, here are some tips on choosing the right one for you.
Why Do Men Wear Undershirts Under Their T-Shirt or Shirt?
Men wear an undershirt under their T-shirt and shirt to protect their clothes from sweat stains and odors and to keep them warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. A good quality undershirt with sufficient elasticity can make the body look thinner and more attractive under clothes.
I wear undershirts because they’re the only thing that keeps my clothes from sweating and odors. If you love your T-shirts and shirts that you wear and spend a lot of money on, I advise you always to wear an undershirt underneath.

Even though I take care of my body and don’t have many fatty areas. I like how the undershirt compresses and shapes my body to make me look better under clothes.
Do Undershirts Make You Look Thinner?
Elasticated and compression undershirts can make you look thinner. With an undershirt on your body, you will feel more confident because you will look better in a dress.
If you have some excess fat on your body that you’d like to cover up, you can try a compression undershirt. A compression undershirt compresses the excess fat around your stomach, arms, and chest. This way, your man boobs and beer belly won’t show through.
Of course, a compression undershirt doesn’t do wonders. If you have a large amount of excess fat around your body, it will still be visible, but not to the same extent as if you were not wearing a compression shirt.
Do Undershirts Make You Hotter?
The undershirt makes you feel hot in the cold months and cool in the hot months. In winter, you won’t get cold because the undershirt hugs your body and gives you an extra layer of warmth. In summer, wearing an undershirt of absorbent and breathable materials will keep you cool.
Different materials have different effects on the body. Some fabrics are more breathable, such as polyester and nylon. Some materials, such as cotton and merino wool, absorb more sweat and moisture.
Choose a sweatshirt made of synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon to stay cool in the summer. I recommend nylon because it breathes and wicks away sweat and absorbs a lot of moisture and sweat. While polyester only wicks sweat and breathes and absorbs no sweat. This can cause sweat to build up on the skin, increasing sweating even more.
Wear an undershirt made from warm materials like cotton and merino wool to stay warm in winter. Both materials can absorb a lot of sweat and are also very breathable, and Merino wool prevents unpleasant odors from building up on your shirt.
When Should a Guy Wear an Undershirt?
Men should wear an undershirt whenever they want to look good and confident. Or when they want to feel comfortable. A T-shirt prevents sweat stains from accumulating on your clothes, looking embarrassing and ruining your T-shirts and shirts.

Wearing an undershirt is essential for your comfort and the durability of your clothes. However, when wearing undershirts, you can make a few mistakes that can ruin your look. Read this post on why it’s not good for your undershirt to be visible.
Wear an undershirt underneath your shirt at work, at concerts, or when you go out. When you start to sweat, it can become uncomfortable as sweat accumulates under your armpits and starts to soak into your shirt. Deodorant can also cause yellow stains on your shirt, which ruin the shirt because they are difficult to remove. If you wear an undershirt, it will soak up the excess sweat and protect your shirt from yellow stains and odors.
Men should wear the undershirt during the summer and winter months. In summer, due to increased perspiration, wear a sweat-wicking, breathable and absorbent undershirt. Nylon undershirts are the most convenient as they absorb a lot of sweat, unlike polyester.
Wear undershirts made of warmer materials (merino wool, cotton) in the winter months. If you wear only a shirt in winter, you can get very cold, so an undershirt will be an extra layer of clothing to keep you warm.
