Why do dudes wear crew neck t-shirts under polo shirts?

Isn't this a fashion faux-pas? Does anybody think this looks good?

(looking down to see what I'm wearing today…)

uh-oh.

I'd say they do it because they're idiots…but that's just my guess.

Better yet, why do dudes and dudettes flip up the collar of their polo shirts? What is this, 1985? Seriously, everybody in Bethesda and Chevy Chase is sporting that shit lately, and I have to look at it on my ride home. Bogus.

technically, you should not wear a crew neck tshirt unless you are buttoning the top button of any shirt. personally, i don't care, but i do not wear undershirts with polo shirts.

I know - silly. Rhett are you talking about t-shirts under a polo shirt? Nothing wrong w/ that. What is up today? Hair & shirt, analysis…

Only small boys and old men should be wearing vests…call them t-shirts if it makes you feel better, but they're vests, plain and simple.

i don't care if they wear a crewneck. anything that covers up ambient chest hair sounds like a good idea to me.

I'm twinky as hell.

I took your for an earthy and natural kind of gal…what's wrong with chest hair?

I do like your choice of words in your description of "ambient" chest hair.)

Maybe it's because they have titties and polo shirts are real clingy, so they decide to wear an undershirt, and the only one clean is a crew-neck. Or maybe they just don't give a shit about fashion.

As for the collar being up, it's for the "hosses," bro. It's the preppy version of a tattoo, I suppose. It makes them feel sloppy and rebellious. You gotta feel cool while you're singing along to Dave Matthews.

As for the collar being up…

I blame VH1's "I Love The 80's" for this.

believe me, I know…I had to go to parties with these people for the last four years.

i don't know, but i'm disturbed about the trend i've been seeing in georgetown with the kids wearing two polo shirts, each with the collar flipped up.

It's fashionable if one measures by clothes ads. Models have been pictured wearing layered shirts for years. It's all about getting you to buy more shirts than you need.

Marketing is all about making you "need" something that you don't. Ergo, cell phones.

Yes, I grasp the layered clothing look. But I was specifically talking about the dudes that wear WHITE (forgot to mention that before) crew neck t-shirts underneath their polo shirt, leaving the polo shirt unbuttoned to show off the shiny undershirt.

shiny? since when is a white undershirt shiny

who the fuck cares? glad to know I am not fashionable in Rhett's eyes

Mine are shiny when i first take them out of the package. Hanes is usually my brand of choice.

i wear them because they prevent stainage under my dress shirt. though my polos don't seem to retain stainage, so i don't wear them under polos.

i used to wear just the t-shirt with Levis, ala James Dean, until I got too fat to pull off that look.

But i prefer v-neck style, it shows off my manly chest hair…
