T Shirt Vs Undershirt - What's The Difference? | RMRS
About this video
Centeno explains the functional differences between undershirts and t-shirts, covering their distinct purposes, fabric weights, appropriate contexts for wearing each, and style considerations like neckline and sleeve length. He argues that undershirts serve as protective layering under dress shirts to guard against sweat and deodorant damage, while t-shirts are casual outer garments that evolved from military undershirts and have become wardrobe staples.
Key takeaways
- Centeno defines undershirts as lightweight protective layers (2-6 oz) designed to shield expensive clothing from sweat and body oils, while t-shirts are heavier casual garments (5-14 oz) meant to be worn as outerwear
- Centeno recommends t-shirts in darker solid colors like black, navy, and gray over graphic tees, and argues they should be worn untucked at 3-4 inches past the belt line to avoid looking like a dress
- Centeno advises wearing undershirts under polos and t-shirts in hot weather for protection against deodorant stains, sweat marks, and visible nipples, and notes that undershirt sleeves should be higher and length longer (4-6 inches past beltline) to stay tucked
