I have a nice luxery dress shirt. Should I wear an undershirt? If so, what kind? Any shirt or should I wear something similar?

V-neck. Beaters are useless at preventing pit stains.

This. Seems like common sense to me, but...

Pit stains are the sign of a true male.

since your shirt is so nice invest in a quality undershirt and boxers. Can you imagine someone wearing hanes whitie tighties under their brioni slacks, ugh. Does Zegna make undershirts?

I think I might. Although do I really need to wear an undershirt? I find it so collegiate and frat-boyish. Found good luxery undershirt and underwear... So no dry cleaning just wash it myself?

So no dry cleaning just wash it myself?

Wash at 30 degrees, hang to dry and iron with plenty of steam. Never use 60+ degree water and certainly don't tumble dry.

The under shirt is personal preference.

Pros
- No pit stains on the shirt
- You can wear it twice before washing
- Should you need to change (due to spills at lunch or just boredom) your secretary wont look at your hairy nipples

Cons
- Extra layer = extra heat and more sweat
- Can't be worn open-collar
- Don't get the feel that lux fabric on your skin
- More washing/Ironing

In a hot clime like Texas, a good cotton tee shirt provides a layer to absorb some of the perspiration. There is no need to iron tee shirts. Put them on a hanger and do a "gravity press" (let gravity get the wrinkles out over a day or two. Yeah, its lazy, but it works reasonably well). A V-neck can be worn open collar if the V is low enough and the dress shirt is not super thin cotton.

Just my $0.02.

+1 Also, I'm certain Brioni makes white undershirts as well.
