The undershirt is a versatile garment with a function that goes beyond providing warmth in winter; therefore, it's important to know
when to wear an undershirt . Some of its uses include outdoor sports, winter sports, motorcycle riding, everyday use at work, or even at home.
However, there is one option that we consider important and should not be overlooked: wearing
a shirt with an undershirt.
4 reasons to wear a shirt and undershirt
Whether you wear a shirt frequently for work or simply because you like it and it's part of your style, we're going to give you some reasons why you should always wear an undershirt underneath.
Elegance
Wearing a shirt is often associated with elegant style, which doesn't have to be associated only with special occasions. If it's one of your favorite outfits, wearing an undershirt under your shirt
will add an extra touch of style to your outfit , as it has many advantages.
Some of these include preventing the shirt (which is usually made of soft synthetic fabrics) from sticking to the skin, becoming transparent, or becoming too noticeable if it's too tight. If you want to see for yourself, try one of your shirts with and without an undershirt—you'll see the difference!
Optimal body temperature
An undershirt has the ability to maintain body temperature at an appropriate level, regardless of the time of year. Thus, in summer it keeps you cool and dry thanks to its moisture-wicking properties. In winter, it has the ability to keep you warm thanks to the thermal management properties of
natural fabrics like cotton.
When temperatures drop significantly, we recommend
Abanderado's Thermal Collection , which protects you from the cold without compromising comfort. It includes three lines of garments: with winter cotton, with winter fiber, and with Termaltech technology, designed for those especially cold days.
Goodbye to sweat stains on your shirt
This is one of the most dreaded problems: the appearance of sweaty circles under your armpits on the fabric of your shirt. To avoid this, you should always wear an undershirt, as this
keeps moisture out and prevents the dreaded stains from appearing . There's no better feeling than being dry and cool at all times, as it also prevents that unsightly effect.
To solve this problem, we recommend
Abanderado's X-TEMP® line , where you'll find tank tops and short-sleeved shirts that absorb moisture and expel it to the outside, keeping your skin dry at all times. Another option is
Abanderado's Classics line , with 100% cotton designs ranging from crew necks to V-necks, ideal for high temperatures.
The undershirt as an outer garment
We already mentioned at the beginning that
the undershirt has many uses , as it's a very versatile garment in today's fashion. And one of those most well-known uses is the signature of celebrities like James Dean, who wore it as an outer garment under a leather jacket a few decades ago.
However, this trend continues, and you can also wear a shirt with an undershirt in a more casual way:
leaving the shirt open to show off the undershirt as an outer garment.
It's important to keep in mind, however, that this combination can't be combined with any type of shirt, as it wouldn't look good with a plain one, like one worn with a suit jacket, for example. However, it is
a very valid look to wear with denim shirts , lumberjack shirts, or any other shirt that serves as an overshirt.
Another option is to combine
tank tops under jackets and blazers , which is very fashionable among current influencers.
What should you keep in mind?
Does all of the above mean that any T-shirt will work with any shirt? Not exactly. Therefore, we're going to give you some tips so you can wear your shirt with an undershirt with style, the same style that defines you. Here are a few:
- Sleeveless or strapless shirts won't protect you from sweat , as they don't cover your underarms. However, they will protect you from the heat or cold and prevent the shirt from sticking to your body.
- If you want to avoid those dreaded sweat stains, you'll need an undershirt with short or long sleeves , depending on the type of shirt, the weather, and what's most comfortable for you.
- If the shirt is too transparent, don't make the mistake of choosing just any shirt. White is the best color to avoid transparency. Also, try to choose a light and soft fabric to avoid visible marks.
- And what about the collar? A round neck will work as long as you button all the shirt buttons, just like when you wear a tie. If you leave any buttons undone, you can opt for a V-neck or a round neck if you want to create a contrasting color scheme with your outfit.
- Always choose 100% natural fabrics to avoid moisture and keep your skin dry.
With this information and advice, you now have everything you need to understand the importance of wearing your shirt with an undershirt and still look stylish. All that's left is to put them into practice to get the most out of this combination.
