[quote=Anonymous]As a DH late to this conversation, I have to say that it is very endearing to hear the kind DWs talking about men's undershirts.  (I mean that sincerely, not sarcastically.)

I work in a traditional "suit and tie" field and have worn undershirts for 30 years.  (Yikes!)  A few more thoughts:

(1) white undershirts help protect your dress shirt and suit/blazer from the effects of sweat/deodorant-caused yellowing.  Much better to stain an undershirt than an expensive dress shirt.  When an undershirt gets yellowed, I soak it for a few days in OxiClean (not bleach) or throw it out.  I buy a lot of undershirts, as my wife loves to wear them (at night and on casual weekend mornings).

(2) wearing a white undershirt also makes your white and blue dress shirts seem much brighter when they're worn, and the benefit goes up as the man's skin gets darker.

(3) I have a good collection of V-necks and crewnecks, depending on whether I am wearing open neck or a tie.  With a thin summer-weight white shirt and tie, I don't like wearing a V-neck, as the V shows through.

Even more on the undershirt -- the Clark Gable legend:

Next conversation -- the benefit of over-the-calf black dress socks!!!
