Some people say "Don't wear a undershirt in your shirt" while someone say "It is okay to wear a undershirt in your shirt"

How about you? I'm not sure which is right.


additional question below :

And I remember that I heard someone said "Strictly speaking, dress shirt is a kind of underclothes, so you must not wear a undershirt under your dress shirt."

Do you agree with this?

The correct answer is, "Wear underwear over your shirt."

I never pegged you as being the type who tucks his shirt in his briefs.

It's a personal choice. I usually always do, but others do not. If your shirts are thin you probably should. There are arguments for both ways, but to err on the safe side I don't think wearing an undershirt would ever be considered inappropriate.

The posters above labour under the dellusion they are funny. Hopefully you made it this far.

I'm offended that you think I was not providing sound advice.

I do tuck my undershirt into the waistband of my boxer briefs as it keeps them in place and prevents the tucked in shirt from rising out of the pants waistband.

I've found that when I leave my undershirt loose, the undershirt and dress shirt both work together to untuck themselves throughout the day.

I know it's weird but it actually does work.

I'd like to meet these people who say "It's okay to wear a underwear in your shirt." They sound like they know how to party.

I wear my undershirt under my shirt, but over my briefs. If you worry about your shirt drawing out of your trousers over the course of a day, have some snug-tex sewn into the waist of your trousers. Alternatively, you can copy the Marines who wear suspenders from their shirt bottoms to the top of their socks.

snug-tex can be found here: http://www.thesewingplace.com/index....OD&ProdID=2478 (amongst many other places)

The suspenders can be found here: http://www.reddiamondonline.com/detail.aspx?ID=2468 (amongst other places)

I wear a wife beater tucked into my panties and I don't care who knows it.
