Men’s fashion – singlets under shirts?

I know this isn’t really men’s grooming, more like men’s fashion, but I didn’t know if I should put it in Anything Goes so this was the second choice..XD

I know hardly anything about men’s fashion, so I’d like to know — are singlets under shirts (any shirt – tshirt, work shirt..) alright fashionably? Cos it’s what my significant other does, and I need something to convince him not to do it (slowly XD). Honestly, it’s just a bit irritating to meet cloth when I’m trying to lift his shirt…:P

But if it’s completely acceptable fashion-wise I suppose I’ll just accept defeat..

    I lot of guys wear a t shirt under their shirts these days and it looks nice so I guess as long as you cant see the outline underneath it is ok and the other way to wear it would be to leave his shirt open a bit so you can see it like its part of his look.

    my husband wears a singlet under his shirt or polo – he says its more comfortable and warmer.

    I think whatever makes him comfortable is fine!

    I love wearing singlets too….

    My bf wears a singlet (a white bonds chesty) under his shirts every day of the year, no matter how hot. I have no problem with it, and I actually really like the way it looks when you can see the top of the singlet under the front of the shirt. My bf is pretty stylish too (I`m not biased haha) so I don`t think it`s a fashion faux pas to wear it like that. He also said that in summer it absorbs the sweat if it`s pretty hot to stop it showing on his shirt, and same at the gym too. I think dimples_man is totally right!

    Yeah, I`m with you Dimples man, I wear a singlet every day of the year.

    I`m a 28 years old male and i`ve been wearing a singlet ever since i can remember. I think that they are the most import piece of clothing and any man should wear them. You may think I`m crazy, but lady`s i ask you this. Would you prefer a man that has sweat marks on his shirt in the summer or doesn`t give you his jacket on a cold wintery night??? Think about it, singlets solves everything…

    Are we talking about a singlet as a singlet or as another colour showing under the shirt? It can look good if the shirt is unbuttoned a few buttons and the singlet is showing.
    I don`t know about the rules here, I just like what I like and not what I don`t. it depends how it`s done.

    I get the Bonds Coral Island under shirts for my hubby`s to under his business shirts…saves the washing as well. Found them at Myres and the website MensGear. Hope this helps.

    Totally dorky. If you can see it or even see the outline underneath it is a no no.

    I don`t like the idea of a singlet underneath…. unless the man is a little flabby and perhaps has a case of man boobs then that is a different circumstance, he will need all the support he can get!
    My boy doesn`t and thats how i like it! 😀

    no way i think a chesty is fine under the shirt as long as you cant see it thru the shirt!
