why are you guys wearing undershirts that can be see by other people

max, Monday, 16 January 2012 17:50 (twelve years ago) link

the undershirt can sometimes peek through at the collar

dayo, Monday, 16 January 2012 17:51 (twelve years ago) link

that is what v-necks are for

max, Monday, 16 January 2012 17:53 (twelve years ago) link

I prefer the peak.

don't want women to faint at the sight of my heart-stoppingly virile chest hair

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 16 January 2012 17:59 (twelve years ago) link

you all sicken me

max, Monday, 16 January 2012 18:01 (twelve years ago) link

even v-necks can peek out a little, give em something to talk about max

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 16 January 2012 18:02 (twelve years ago) link

v-necks are there to give the illusion that i am the kind of reckless devil-may-care ruffian who doesnt care about wearing undershirts

max, Monday, 16 January 2012 18:03 (twelve years ago) link

sitting around lounging in my deep v-neck

dayo, Monday, 16 January 2012 18:05 (twelve years ago) link

bright yellow or red or orange undershirts are underrated, especially if like me every other item of clothing you own is black, grey, brown or navy blue

Oh yeah, I totally used to do that with my undershirts, although I was still wearing white crew socks. It's nice to bring a little flash of color into your wardrobe.

sleeveless crewneck cotton undershirts white

V-necks are the way forward. If you leave like just the very top button unbuttoned, you're not trying'ta showcase chest-hair but you're also not looking like a farmer who just stepped away from the combine for a second.

thank you laurel

max, Monday, 16 January 2012 18:16 (twelve years ago) link

I dig 'em. They're my favorite to wear, also, because crew necks pull on my neck funny/fit too closely.

If I wanted my shirt to choke me there are turtlenecks for that.

I would like to find undershirts that are extra-long, does anybody have a good brand for that

dayo, Monday, 16 January 2012 18:19 (twelve years ago) link

i think your purchase of black socks was a very good one!
tho white socks are good for sporty times
i think the general key with undershirts is just to match them to your dress shirt, right? especially if you've got the top button undone, like don't wear a white undershirt with a dark shirt. i have to say that as a woman i never thought about this re: guys' clothing until a few years ago when i dated someone who dressed well yet always wore white undershirts - and me being who i am, actually told him (nicely!) that it looked wrong. he is still my friend and doesn't always match his undershirt to his shirt but really, whatevs!

I decided to resurrect these super old high waisted jeans I bought right before they stopped making high waisted jeans (and long before anyone started making them again). So I'm wearing these jeans, and just kind of feeling shitty. Why do I feel so nervous? It is a stressful time of the year for me, deadlines and all, maybe it's that.

Then I realized that it was not that. I am not stressed about work so much as I am UNABLE to take a complete deep breath with something cutting off my circulation at the middle.

Damn these pants.

Hanes has a tall range in their undershirts.

svend, Monday, 16 January 2012 21:51 (twelve years ago) link

i hate black socks fwiw. i find them repulsive but admitteldly i'm kinda weird about it.

Bought a beautiful Katharine Hamnett pullover today. Subsequently found out it was made of baby alpaca yarn, which made me a little sad for the baby alpacas.

They don't have to hurt them to get the wool, I'm pretty sure!

boxall, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:07 (twelve years ago) link

No, but it can get cold in the mountains of Peru if you have no wool, i'm sure.

Mohombi Khush Hua (ShariVari), Monday, 16 January 2012 22:12 (twelve years ago) link

i'm glad someone is thinking of the baby alpacas' comfort!

bene_gesserit, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link

i didn't know guys still wore undershirts as undershirts

buzza, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:20 (twelve years ago) link

Me neither! That's what I was thinking as I read this, "Guys still wear undershirts?!".

ENBB, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link

yeah it means you can go longer without having to wash your dress shirts and they therefore last longer etc

max, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:24 (twelve years ago) link

Ahh! I thought it was for warmth or something. lol. The more you know etc.

ENBB, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:26 (twelve years ago) link

pro tip: don't wash your dress shirts in the wash even if it says it's okay on the label, take that shit to a dry cleaner.

dayo, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:32 (twelve years ago) link

dry cleaning can be as bad for your clothes as a washing machine #protip

max, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:36 (twelve years ago) link

I bought one of the above yesterday and wore it to the office today. It helped me overcome my insomniac daze and make like a banking professional!

eh, as someone who has worn dress shirts daily for the past two years I find my dry-clean only dress shirts to be in much better condition than my dress shirts which I have put in the wash. then again, I only get them dry-cleaned like 3-4 times a year. I don't have pit sweat, though, so ymmv

dayo, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:39 (twelve years ago) link

cute dress!!

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Monday, 16 January 2012 22:45 (twelve years ago) link

i am so amazed by people who don't have pit sweat.

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Monday, 16 January 2012 22:45 (twelve years ago) link

do you hang dry or dry them in a dryer

max, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:46 (twelve years ago) link

how many times would you wear a shirt before dry cleaning it?

jed_, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:48 (twelve years ago) link

I have everywhere sweat, but lower back sweat is THE WORST. Officially. I've done studies.

Ooof that dress!!! <3

I'm wearing tights that are almost thick enough to be leggings and a really short stretch skirt and tunic cardigan. No, I am not La Lechera, I just play her on TV.

It means why you gotta be a montague? (Laurel), Monday, 16 January 2012 22:48 (twelve years ago) link

yeah I think that may have been a mistake - I dried them in a dryer. if I ever wash a dress-shirt in the wash again I'll definitely do it on delicate setting, no dryer. I just remember buying dress shirts, being pleased at how nice they were, then washing them in the wash and being all :^( when they came out drab and dead.

xp

once a week

dayo, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:48 (twelve years ago) link

xp - hahahaha

i need to get out of these pants ASAP for real

La Lechera, Monday, 16 January 2012 22:49 (twelve years ago) link

Thx for the dress love, as work things go, it is pretty hot! I've found trousers have got harder to wear as my tum gets fatter, and dresses are so quick in the morning.

twice

Undershirts on guys also help prevent nipple/chest hair show-through.

gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 01:38 (twelve years ago) link

I meant show through the fabric of your shirt, not show at your collar, per Rark Muffalo, which is A-OK in my book.

gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 01:45 (twelve years ago) link

yeah obv it depends on the shirt and the fabric and everything

max, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 01:51 (twelve years ago) link

a li'l bit of chest hair showing, a la mark up there, is a good look imo

buzza, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 01:55 (twelve years ago) link

ya the great thing about the v-neck is that you can get the chest hair look w/out pit stains

max, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 02:00 (twelve years ago) link

^^^ protip

La Lechera, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 03:01 (twelve years ago) link

i don't get pit stains in la because i drive in my climate-controlled car from one air-conditioned place to another.
