But actually, fashion plates don't wear undershirts. Well-dressed salt of the earth men do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979967 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 15:43:31 +0000 rae 979967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahahah, bacon neck! Never heard that before, but I love it!</p> <p>I don't have any problem seeing the t shirt peek out. I think it adds a nice element of layering and, like LBD, would much rather see the shirt than chest hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979960 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 15:27:44 +0000 Anonymous 979960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's completely a matter of personal preference. Kind of like having your cami show or not. And I'm guessing bacon neck means a limp, stretched out neck, like undercooked bacon? Ewwww! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979952 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 15:13:48 +0000 nancylee 979952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clara, thanks for weighing in. &nbsp;Good to know that the tee is not only acceptable...but a good look in your eyes.</p> <p>Sveta and LBD....you make great points about a glimpse of white tee being preferable to chest hair! &nbsp;And I agree, Sveta, that the condition of the tee is important.</p> </p> <p>I've never minded the white tee showing, but my husband seems really&nbsp;unsure about it. &nbsp;If we get enough consensus here I'll be able to convince him to let his tee show with no worries!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979902 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 14:03:55 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 979902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Clara T.&nbsp; I always think it's a nice touch when I meet friends out after work, and the boys have their shirt sleeves rolled up and the collars open.&nbsp; It's sort of a business-to-relaxed-fun transition that's nice to see.</p> <p>(Besides, I'd rather see a white tee peeking out, than a big ol' tuft of chest-carpet...&nbsp; Sorry... I couldn't resist.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979891 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 13:51:23 +0000 ClaraT 979891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For casual wear, I think a peak of white T-shirt is not just acceptable but looks nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979884 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 13:36:20 +0000 Sveta 979884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well...it is either a peek of white tee or chest hair with a V neck LOL<br />My hubby wore V necks originally and this was the reason I switched him to crew. I think it looks more polished. As long as tee is in a good condition I think it gives more dimension to a man's outfit and totally fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979879 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 13:21:18 +0000 nancylee 979879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ruthe, I can see why a colored tee is acceptable. &nbsp;DH has&nbsp;no problem with that....but is a white tee that is clearly an undergarment still ok?</p> <p>Jeanne, thanks for weighing in. &nbsp;What is "bacon neck?" &nbsp;:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979875 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 13:10:34 +0000 Jjsloane 979875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like seeing the tee neck show (as long as it's a presentable one and not the dreaded bacon neck).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979874 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 13:09:53 +0000 ruthe 979874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Is it a fashion faux pas to have a tee show at the neckline when wearing a button shirt casually unbuttoned?"&nbsp; Gosh, I've never given this any thought, but I like seeing my Mr.'s tee peeking out of his shirt especially when he wears a colored tee instead of usual white. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979869 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:59:21 +0000 Anonymous 979869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I see -- I didn't realize there were two versions with different fabric! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979868 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:57:01 +0000 nancylee 979868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for weighing in, Ceit. &nbsp;</p> <p>You're right that the BR pima shirts come in v-neck, but unfortunately the <i><b>stretch</b></i> pima shirts come only&nbsp;in crew neck. &nbsp;It's the stretch that makes them so awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979866 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:53:19 +0000 Anonymous 979866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those Pima shirts do come in a V neck also!</p> <p>I don't think it is a faux pas to show though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-style-question-is-it-ok-for-a-white-tee-to-show-with-unbuttoned-shirt#post-979863 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:51:05 +0000 nancylee 979863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's blog post about refreshing your man's style got me thinking about a question &nbsp;DH has had for years about white tees and unbuttoned shirts. &nbsp;Both my DH and my son wear those BR stretch pima tees Angie cited&nbsp;and love them for how they hold their shape. &nbsp;But my husband wishes the tees had a&nbsp;v-neck so they wouldn’t show when he wears his&nbsp;shirt unbuttoned for casual wear.</p> <p>Is it a fashion faux pas to have a white&nbsp;tee show at the neckline when wearing a button&nbsp;shirt casually unbuttoned? DH seems to think it is…and I’m not sure.</p>
