What to wear under a dress shirt?

A common question for men is what to wear under a dress shirt?

The invisible undershirt: A German invention complying with business etiquette and dress code

Business – undershirts to promote your career

Businessmen know this daily routine:

Getting ready for a day in the office wearing a dress shirt which matches the jacket and tie has the purpose to be well dressed, well groomed and to appear in perfect shape, respecting dress codes and business etiquette. Then the question arises:

Should an undershirt be worn under a business dress shirt: Yes or No?

The PROS for wearing an undershirt are obvious:

  • sweat stain protection for the armpits
  • warming layer during the colder season
  • sweat-protection and “cooling” effect in summer
  • hiding body hair
  • hygienic reasons

But there are also CONS as an undershirt can easily “destroy” a business outfit:

  • Wearing a tank top: its straps shine through the dress shirt which is really not suitable in business!
  • Wearing a t-shirt: it rarely has a slim fit cut and would form creases under the dress shirt! Additionally, the neckline is too high and would show when wearing a dress shirt with one or two buttons open at the collar. Attention also to the hem lengths – if too short, the t-shirt could provoke the exposure of the belly button!
  • Heavier shirts may increase sweating and take away the slim shape.

So - how to achieve the PROS and avoiding the CONS?

The solution comes from German Underwear Brand ALBERT KREUZ. The owner of the small company - located in Teltow, south of Berlin - invented the perfect undershirt for business men:

The new brand offers incredibly smooth, high-quality very light pure organic cotton, soft stretch cotton or luxury microfiber (MicroModal) fabrics. All undershirts are extra-long and slim fit and feel like a second skin.

  • A special v-neck (deeper and wider as usually) allows to wear a dress shirt with 1-2 buttons open at the collar without being seen – for even more comfort an extra deep-v-neck is offered as well!
  • Thanks to the extra-long cut, the undershirt stays tucked in!
  • The short sleeves are shorter than normal, so that the undershirt can be worn under short sleeve shirts or polos.
  • For those preferring sleeveless models or tank top style undershirts, ALBERT KREUZ offers a special tank top which remains invisible under a dress shirt. The arm cutout equals the sleeve seams of common dress shirts so that no straps shine through!

Are you a perfectionist and don’t want the white color shine through the dress shirt?
