Do you wear undershirts?

    I haven't worn undershirts in 10 years or so. Reasons in no particular order: 

    1. Exposed undershirts with button downs or polos look awful
    2. I don't want to do any more wash then I already do 
    3. I found I sweat less without the undershirt
    4. I wash and iron my shirts at home so no worries about starch and such

    I’m 100% with you @fishlessman . I don’t own a suit.  A couple of blazers and jackets but no suits.

    In college I interned over the summer for a fortune 500 company and sat right outside the CFO’s office.  I was required to wear a jacket and tie every day, all day. As soon as that internship was over I vowed I would never accept a job that required it. 

    I work for a wealth management firm.  I’m the head trader for the firm.  I don’t see clients and stay in my office.  My manager is always getting after me about my attire.  I wear khakis and golf shirts every day.  He’ll make snide remarks like “glad to see you dressed up for work today”.  Then I chirp back, “I can walk downstairs, grab a bum off the street and put him in a suit and tie.  Do you want him doing the trading?”

    I was putting gas in my car at the Krogers near my house.  There’s a strip mall with a Key bank in it.  The branch manager pulled up and got out of his car with a suit and tie on.  This guy is peddling savings accounts to the elderly, and taking rolled change for deposits.  Does he really need to be stuffed into a suit and tie?

    Some people feel better, more important in a suit. I get that, and more power to them.  Personally, I work better when I’m comfortable and focused.  I feel like a clown in a suit.

    Ever hear the saying, “All hat, no cattle.”  That’s how I feel about suit and ties.  It doesn’t mean you know your stuff, nor make you important. 

    I don’t care if Warren Buffett wore jeans and tie dyes every day.  I’d still let him manage my money.

    I love this commercial!

    I'm with you @YemTrey  The clothes don't make the man.  My last job I was at we were required to wear khakis and at least a polo.  Where I'm at now jeans and a polo are acceptable.  Depends on the environment you work in.

    @Botch it is called a romphim, as in "The victim of the beating was wearing a romphim".

    Not a victim, rather a patient. I think the correct statement might be:
    The patient receiving the intense interventional therapy was wearing a romphim......

    Year Round- if I am wearing a shirt with buttons (dress, casual, polo) I have a V neck T Shirt.  But since I work from home most of apparel is barefoot, T shirt, Shorts.

    I wear an undershirt no matter what, with every shirt, even t-shirts.  I'm opposite of @oldgeezeystax, I don't want to see another dudes chest hair, etc, that is shown.  I think an undershirt looks cleaner and more presentable.

    I find that gym shorts combined with my trusty crocks and sleeveless Def Leppard 1984 t-shirt are quite comfortable, I call this the "lady killer combo".

    Hiking boots. I wear them because of my rebuilt left leg. They are very supportive of my foot, ankle and lower left leg I had to have  surgically rebuilt.

    Just boots for those that do not get around real well. It hurts to walk a lot without them. With my job, I walk a few miles per day, with these, I can make it through the day relatively unscathed, without them I need a cane.

    My wife calls me Mr. Rogers because as soon as I get home from the office the first thing, and I mean first thing I do is change into golf shorts and a t-shirt.  If I had my way every day, that’s what I would wear.  Oh, and be barefoot.

    In the unfortunate event that I have to wear a full button down, there's always a t-shirt underneath.

    I have to say, I found them by accident, and I am glad I did. Awesome boot for my needs, and keeps me backpacking. I recommend them, highly.

    I don't like having extra shirt to tuck in. With my gut and my resistance to admit I need larger pants I don't have room to spare for an undershirt.
