About this video
The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to undershirts, covering their history, practical purposes, and proper etiquette. They discuss when to wear undershirts versus when to skip them, establish clear dos and don’ts for selection and wearing, and offer guidance on purchasing quality undershirts that balance comfort and appearance.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team argues undershirts serve three main purposes: insulation, protection of dress shirts from deodorant stains, and moisture management during physical activity
- The Gazette team recommends wearing close-fitting undershirts with deep V-necks, flat seams, and neutral colors like grey that match skin tone, while avoiding sleeveless styles and crew-neck designs
- The Gazette team suggests undershirts are a personal preference based on climate, body type, and sweating tendencies, but recommend keeping a few on hand to extend dress shirt longevity
- The Gazette team recommends Ribbed Tee undershirts as offering quality construction with American-grown cotton and domestic manufacturing at an accessible price point
