OK, so, an important note: short people, you are not the only people in the world. I have AA t-shirts, they barely stay tucked in when I want to use them as undershirts.

I'm not unsympathetic to the plight of people that aren't relatively tall, but recognize that there's not one fit or brand that works for everybody.

How do you guys get your v-necks to not show? I normally leave 2 buttons unbuttoned and you can see the vneck, even with a deep v because you can see the vneck around the neck part for me at least.

^ Don't wear an undershirt, use good anti-perspirant so that there are no armpit stains. Viola.

I prefer the bared skin look anyways.

I have a few Polo deeper v's that work well for me for this look all the time for the summer? Have you tried them. Check out a Marshall's or TJ Maxx if you have one near you.

With regards to going the no-undershirt route in the summer, I would still be cautious of the type of deodorant you use as the wrong one with a bad chemical mix combined with sweat could be disasterous for your shirt.

Unfortunately, Polo doesn't offer the same slim-fitting Stretch undershirts in a v-neck, and I'd prefer to wear something that is slim-fitting.

Any suggestions?


Really? I just posted about having several Polo undershirts that work just fine for me and I even wear BoO shirts over them and those F***ers are as tight as it gets. Maybe you have the wrong size?

I also get down with some Alfani ones which are very slim fitting. Calvin Klein has always done me right as well.

I've had good luck w/ Alfani v-necks lately (I think macy's carrys them). I've given up on uniqlo, american apparel, alternative apparel, etc etc. Been on the hunt for a while now, these seem to be fitting the bill

I bought some Brooks Brothers v-neck undershirts a while ago, and they were very slim (this coming from a guy who wears S/XS in BoO). The only thing about them was that the v was cut quite low, but if you like that, then they're perfect.
