Should You Wear An Undershirt Yes Or No
[0:00:00] Should you wear an undershirt? It’s a pretty
simple question. Yet you go look at the opinions online people are pretty passionately divided
about this. So who is right, who is wrong? In today’s video five reasons for the undershirt,
five reasons against the undershirt, and at the end of the video I’m going to give you
my opinion.
Before I get into this comparison I want to let you know that all the undershirts you’re
going to see in today’s video are brought to you by our sponsor Thompson Tee. I love
this company. Why? They have solved the problem of the armpit sweat stains. These guys have
solved the problem. You’ve got to go check this out. This is a patented technology. Basically
it’s called the hydro-shield sweat proof tech that ensures that you’re going to appear
sweat free.
They put a guarantee on this. You’ll see no more wet marks. You’re talking about
those yellow stains. Gone. They’re going to block 100% of underarm sweats. Guys, Thompson
Tee undershirts come in a wide variety of color and styles, so if you want white they’ve
got you covered. If you want to black they’ve got you covered. They’ve got nude. They’ve
got grey. As you can see I’m wearing a gray.
Now what I like about this, this is going to be the slim fit that I’m wearing right
here that got the regular classic fit as well. They’ve also got the different necks so
you want crew, you want V, you want deep V they’ve got you covered. Guys, they’re
made from cotton so you can throw them in the wash. You can throw them in the dryer.
No special treatment needed and they’re 100% made in the United States. I’m linking
the Thompson Tee down in the description in this video. There’s also a discount code
down there. Use it or lose it.
So to start things off five reasons you should wear an undershirt. Reason #1 to wear an undershirt,
gentlemen, it protects your more expensive clothing, your dress shirt, your casual button
downs from your own body. Yes, because you sweat. You actually have dirt. You have oils
coming off your body. The undershirt absorbs them versus your nice outer shirt here. So
what happens? You don’t have to wash this shirt as often. You’re able to maybe wear
it two or three times before it actually gets dirty. The undershirt you wash all the time.
And because you wash this shirt less you’re going to get more miles and more wears out
of them.
Reason #2 to wear an undershirt, gentlemen, it protects you from visible sweat stains.
When you sweat and you’ve got no protection between your skin and the outer shirt where
is it going to show the sweat? On the armpits, in the chest area, wherever you’re sweating.
An undershirt that absorbs the sweats is going to d a good job kind of spreading it out and
it’s going to slow its showing on your outer shirt.
Reason #3 to love undershirts, they can protect you from deodorant stains. Basically they
keep the deodorant in its place. So when you don’t use undershirts over time it can actually
start to stain some of your nice outer shirts.
Reasons #4 to wear an undershirt, it can help keep your chest hair and nipples in check.
Some of guys are part [0:02:44][inaudible]. Nothing wrong with that. But then the hair
on your chest starts shooting right out here at the top it can draw a little bit too much
attention to itself. So use a crew neck undershirt to keep it in check.
Now let’s talk about hose nipples. Some of guys have really sensitive nipples. You
get the pointy thing going. You don’t want to show the whole world that necessarily.
In that case, wear an extra layer of that, protect them, keep them getting a little bit
too hard. Reason #5 to wear an undershirt, it provides an extra layer of insulation.
It helps you to regulate your temperature and keep you warm during those cold months.
All right gents, now the five disadvantages of wearing an undershirt. Reason # 1 for not
wearing an undershirt, it’s uncomfortable. Now I find that men that say this it’s for
one of three different issues. First off is they’re not used to wearing an undershirt.
So they’re wearing it for the first time. They’re just not used to it. They’re unfamiliar
with wearing it so they’re like it’s not for me. The thing is unfamiliar is not uncomfortable.
After two to three times you’ve worn an undershirt you start to get used to it.
Next step they got a bad fit. So it’s either too tight or it’s too large. If it’s too
tight, they’re going to feel it around the armpit area, maybe up at the shoulder. If
it’s too loose, they’re going to have an excess material build up and yes that’s
going to be uncomfortable. Next step is the material. They buy a cheap undershirt. Maybe
100% cotton but it’s made from the very cheap cotton. It kind of feels like sandpaper.
You need to try something of a higher quality material.
Reason #2 to not wear an undershirt is you can see the undershirt beneath the dress shirt.
I know a lot of you guys don’t like this look so you choose not to wear an undershirt.
Here’s how you solve that problem. You wear an undershirt that is close to your own skin
type. So if you’ve got darker colored skin, you’re going to wear something like this.
If you’ve got really white colored skin, this is what you’re going to wear.
If you’ve got to medium to dark to lighter skin but still got a little bit of a tan you
wear this and this is very similar to the grey so some people are going to like this
color a bit more. Now you can bend that rule. If you’re wearing a dress shirt that’s
made from the darker color or one that’s got a very tight weave that isn’t going
to show what’s underneath. So this undershirt I can actually wear with this shirt. No one
is going to see it as along they’ve got a V neck cut in the front. For me that’s
key because I often times am not wearing tie and that’s the style I’m looking for.
[0:05:00] Reason #3 in hot weather an undershirt is
just going to make you hotter. I can see this with really cheap, poorly made undershirt
because they’re not made to wick away moisture. They’re simply going to get you those hot
spots and you’re going to sweat. You’re going to wish you had that layer off. But
if you find one that’s made from material that wicks away the moisture I find that they
do a pretty good job of dissipating the moisture and again they protect you from the sweat
stains.
Reason #4 to avoid undershirts they’re useless as standalone shirts. In some cases this is
true. Undershirts are made to be undershirts. They’re made to be underwear. This particular
color with a deep V like this is not going to be a t-shirt you want to wear by itself
but maybe something a black that has a little bit of looser fit, a thicker material, and
it’s a crew or a none super deep V neck you could actually pull off.
Reason #5 to say no to the undershirt gentlemen is it hides you’re sexy. I know a lot of
you guys want to unbutton those shirts. You want to show the world what you’ve got.
A mere undershirt should not be able to hold back what you’ve got guys. So just let it
out there. Release the vibe. All right, gentlemen, now it’s your turn. I want to hear from
you down in the comments. Are you team undershirt or are you team I’m going to destroy my
dress shirt cause I don’t acknowledge the power of undershirt.
As you can tell I’m totally unbiased and at the end of the day guys hopefully you enjoy
this video. You’ll learn something useful and you go check out guys Thompson Tee, an
amazing company. I’m proud to support them. I’m linking to them down in the description
with an awesome discount code guys.
All right, gentlemen, that’s it. Take care. I’ll see you in the next video and don’t
forget. Don’t be afraid to release the sexy. Oh yeah. Release the vibe. Send it out there
and don’t worry. I’m not going to send it right to the camera. I don’t want to
break your screen but maybe in a future video.
