I was wondering how many of you wear a t-shirt under a polo shirt. I especially notice younger guys doing it. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I prefer not to wear one under a polo, as I think it takes something away from the shirt. Just wondering.
Do you wear a t-shirt under a polo shirt?

I already stuck him on the "unable to post without a moderator's permission' list until he answers my PM on exactly that subject.
No, I am not. Just a wearer of sleeveless undershirts that does not understand the prejudice against them. The term wife beater and other negative stereotypes keep some men from trying them. I just want guys to understand that you have to overlook those perceptions and give them a try. No hidden agenda on my part on connection with any company that makes or sells sleeveless undershirts.
I can't think of one men't fashion magazine that I would look to for fashion advice.
Anyway, I wear them sometimes, sometimes I don't. I actually think it is a clean look.

Nope. For me, if it's warm enough to wear a polo, it's too warm to wear a tee, too.
The prejudice against sleeveless undershirts is not that we're all scared of being called a wife-beater. The prejudice against sleeveless undershirts is that they're worthless. You still perspire on your "over" shirt, plus you get nice dainty "bra strap" lines on your shoulders and back.

Polo Shirts, Undershirts, and Chest Hair
What to do?
I don't have really "bushy" chest hair, but it is certainly noticeable if I wear a V-Neck undershirt. If I wear a crew neck undershirt it looks dorky. I once had a hostess at a restaurant glance at me quickly, see the little speck of white, and say, "Good Evening, Father," thinking I was a priest. She hadn't noticed the young woman on my arm, haha.
I guess I have three options:
1) V-neck undershirt, with chest hair
2) V-neck undershirt, with chest hair removed somehow (Shaved? Waxed?)
3) Crew neck undershirt
Which should I do?

let the hair show and dont worry about it
Polos and t-shirts are fine 
white is real good along with other plain solid colors.
I don't wear polos unfortunately yes I know, it's kinda of a shame for me dunno lol my friend wears them, and he always wears a white t-shirt with a print on it... like a good shirt..
Just be sure... wash your clothes regularly!! my friend didn't wash his shirt once, and it smelt so bad especially after phys ed. class!! wore it for 3 days
But the bad thing is... he didn't wash it... I think his mom washed it for him like twice to get the smell out!!
So anyway... I kind of gotten off topic.. so you don't always have to wear a t-shirt under your polo... I always wear a t-shirt/ under shirt under my dress shirts, and collar shirts... short or long. They are fine for me. It helps with the perspiration stuff...
Anyways... if you have collar button down shirts.. you can ALWAYS wear an undershirt
Oh and if your having hard time to decide.. or like to color code.. try this..
ANY COLOR can go with White
Blacks and black
Blacks with blue stripes can go with black undershirt, or other dark colors.
Light blues - blue undershirt or white undershirt.
Grey - black or gray, or white...
Yellow/orange - can go with yellow or orange, or red, white, light blue..
Purple - dark colors
Hope it helps
PS I don't have every single knowledge on all the color

I always wear a t-shirt underneath my polos, but rarely ever wear a standard white "undershirt." Usually I wear a shirt of a complementary or triadic color scheme, and leave the polo fully unbuttoned to provide some visual movement and contrast. There's certainly nothing wrong with not wearing a t-shirt, though, just my personal preference. Just make sure you give both a fair chance.
Amen. The look can be really good on the right person.
