An
undershirt is an article of underwear worn underneath a dress shirt intended to
protect it from body sweat and odors.
Alternatively,
it may be worn to protect the body from stiff or otherwise uncomfortable fabric
that a person may be required to wear (such as a mandatory work uniform).
It can have
short sleeves or be sleeveless.
The term
most commonly refers to upper-body wear worn by males.
This article
of clothing typically has a low, round neckline that can be worn for athletic
purposes.
It also
makes dress shirts less transparent.
It can also
be worn during winter months as an extra layer of warmth.
The
under-shirt became fashionable during the 60’s being tie-dyed in multiple
colors and silk-screened with images and messages.
Today it has
become an accepted form of dress, even to places that require dress shirts be
tucked into pants.
Once
designated to the children or the beach, the cotton pullovers short sleeved
(though long sleeves are available) fill everyone’s closets and dresser
drawers.
The comfort
of a modern day t-shirt is a form of walking billboards showing the wearers
preference in sport teams, political affiliation, favorite beverage or musical
group.
The
undershirt has become the over shirt in multiple colors and sizes.
I personally
have not worn a button-down collared dress shirt for over 9 years and have no intention of going back.
Besides, I
don’t have any more ties.
