That is such an odd question.... I wear an undershirt when I wear a tie. Otherwise no.

Agree with this statement. Just don't like the visible sleeve lines.

Proud of nips poking out. Hahaha. No, but for reals it depends on fabric.

The closer the undershirt to your skin-tone, the less visible the sleeve lines. Women have been doing this with their bras forever.

I don't usually wear them....only with light colored thin fabric shirts where my skin really shows through (bonus points if you can see the chest hair as well).

Anyone know who makes them on the longer side? Some of the ones I have fit nice and tight in the body (so the shirt can hang freely) but they are short and won't always stay tucked in beneath the shirt, especially with lower rise pants.

I always wear a sleeveless undershirt / singlet with dress shirts. To me there's nothing worse than seeing slightly transparent shirts on people in a business setting with nothing underneath, and it definitely helps the shirts last longer.

NEVER

Filthy garments and so unnecessary unless you cannot manage personal hygiene adequately

I wear them now after a multiple-year hiatus of going without.

I'm sorry that I am capable of sweating by just sitting in +80 degree sun. I suppose I could roll in a sandbox of Gold Bond powder every morning from May to September. But I'd rather wear a gray v-neck instead.
