Is it OK To Wear Undershirts in the Fall and Winter?

Wondering if it’s ok to wear undershirts in cooler months (or in cooler climates)?

Hello Tug:

Now that Labor has arrived, I would like to know if wearing plain white t shirt is still acceptable.

I wear my hanes t shirt all summer long and still would like to know if it is still alright.

Please advice

My Response:

yep, wearing undershirts all year round is perfectly acceptable! in cooler months undershirts will not only give you a little insulation from the cooler climate, but they will also keep your outer shirts cleaner and free of any residue from deodorants and or antiperspirants.

hope that helps!

Additional Thoughts:

In re-reading this reader’s email, I’m now wondering if he was actually asking if it was ok to wear his plain white Hanes undershirt/t-shirt by itself during the fall.

While there are clearly fashions designed for specific seasons, I can’t see the idea of wearing a plain white t-shirt being a seasonal choice, because to me it seems more of a personal style one.

The topic of wearing plain white t-shirts alone did surface here some time ago and we covered it pretty thoroughly.

The bottom line: Wearing plain white t-shirts is a personal/style choice. Also, the term “plain white tee” should not be confused with a proper fitting undershirt, or your typical box-cut undershirt. They are not the same.  Be sure to read through the Can Undershirts Be Worn Alone post for the specifics.
