So, why wear an undershirt?

Without an undershirt, you may find yourself in uncomfortable situations. From controlling body odour to chafing, there are many ways that wearing this extra layer can come in handy. Not sure if it's right for your outfit? Let’s take a look …


The chill factor
Need to keep warm on a frosty commute? Or maybe just looking to take the chill out of a summer night? Look no further than a quality undershirt. The extra layer will give you the added comfort without the bulkiness of another jumper or jacket.

The ‘show-through’ factor
Undershirts can be a huge help when it comes to looking good for the occasion. From weddings to business presentations, they provide an extra layer of coverage in lightweight fabrics that prevent your dress shirt from being too transparent. So, whether it’s a hairy back or standy-outy nipples, an undershirt can help things ‘disappear’.

Stains
We’ve all had a favourite shirt retire early through deodorant stains. Aluminium deodorant stains can be particularly troublesome to remove from fabric. But by creating a gentle barrier between your skin and your shirt can prolong the life of it and keep that dance floor favouite looking fresh for years.

No sweat
When we all feel the heat, whether literally or figuratively - no one wants to be seen with sweat stains on their shirt. An undershirt is an essential for every wardrobe because it provides extra protection against excess moisture and helps keep you looking great, even in the most stressful of situations!

So when is the perfect time to slip on an undershirt, you ask?
Well, it all depends on your style and preferences. However, if you’re looking for a few ideas on when they could come in handy - here are some classic scenarios:

  • When chilling - When you're looking for maximum comfort, nothing beats lounging around the house in an undershirt made of plush fabrics. With its cozy feel and laid-back look, it's a great choice when your daily plans are limited to relaxation!

  • Out socialising - Whether it’s a simple crew-neck undershirt with an open shirt or a Skinda under a smart causal -shirt, when you’re out and about, you’ll want to fill comfortable in what you’re wearing.

  • With a dress shirt - When you step out dressed to the nines, your shirt should be looking crisp and sharp – but that doesn’t always go hand-in-hand with comfort. A soft layer underneath can extend the enjoyment of your day. It also prevents those dreaded sweat marks appearing too so having that secondary layer gives you than confidence you’ll look good all day and all night.
