i'm afraid to buy and wear white/light colored shirts, the reason being that i sweat quite a bit, and despite switching to non-aluminum deoderants and wearing undershirts under pretty much everything, i still (rather quickly it seems) develop yellow stains in the armpits. i want to wear nice blue/white striped oxfords and plain white or white with check shirts but they generally seem to end up looking pretty crappy and dingy after a few months. i am having a hard time convincing myself to spend $50-75 or more on a shirt that i know is just going to look like crap after such a short time...what do i do?

I wear undershirts in order to keep my shirts clean for as long as possible.

yeah, wear an undershirt for the white shirts. I don't (because I don't wear white very often), but this is what I would do.
