Do You Have to Wear an Undershirt? - Ask He Spoke Style, Ep. 14

About this video

Sacawa addresses whether men should wear undershirts with dress shirts, arguing they’re optional rather than necessary. He explains when undershirts can be practical—such as for those who sweat heavily or live in cold climates—while cautioning against visible undershirt lines or crew necks, which he views as a major style mistake. Sacawa emphasizes proper fit if choosing to wear an undershirt, recommending a close-fitting garment with smaller arm holes to avoid bulk.

Key takeaways

• Sacawa personally dislikes wearing undershirts and advises against visible white crew neck undershirts under unbuttoned dress shirts as a distracting style error
• Undershirts can serve practical purposes for those who sweat heavily or need insulation in cold climates, making them a personal choice rather than a requirement
• If wearing an undershirt, Sacawa recommends choosing one that fits closely to the body with smaller arm holes to prevent visible bulk under the dress shirt
