What happened to white tee shirts?

[fuzzybuddy]

I'm a guy, and growing up, I always wore a white tee shirt under my shirts.. I was cleaning out stuff from my bedroom that I no longer wanted, when I ran across a drawer full of white tee shirts-dozens of 'em. I can't tell you when I last wore a white tee shirt under my shirt. When did that change?

dunno .. it seems black tees have been the rage for quite some time.

I've got one on right now. I usually wear a white v-neck t shirt in the Winter months...I go outdoors frequently, and that added layer of clothing reduces the need to bundle up.

I wear white tee shirts as well as colored ones. I have a lot of t shirts I picked up when traveling too.

MY hubs wears white T-shirts..but more often black or grey under his shirts in winter...

I also have a drawer full of white t-shirts... but I think they lost their popularity because they don't wash up well, and go grey quickly after a few washes , so people tend to have to replace them more often, easier therefore to buy coloured

My Tees stay white because I'm careful how I wash them...

I wear mens white tee shirts to sleep in. I buy the 3or 4X sizes as they are comfy with lots of room. I wash them with my other regular whites but do not need to bleach them. They wash really well.

They turned yellow and ran.

As you might notice in my photo, I still wear white t shirts; always. I'd feel naked without one.

1960's, T-shirts were a garment in and of themselves, as in put on t-shirt, jeans-you were dressed.

Army said, 'No,' T-Shirts are required under fatigues (army shirt).
When discharged, I found I felt cold all the time without a t-shirt, cannot imagine
going without one.

I wear nothing but white, 100% polyester t-shirts under my dress shirts. Under other open shirts, I may wear colored poly t's.

Don't care for tee-shirts or clothes at all for that matter. Sunlight is the best source for vitamin D

My hubby do not wear white tees under his shirt... wow, never thought about that. But I think there are a lot of men that do...mainly the guys that wear suites.. maybe, I dunno.

Corporate policy was 100% cotton tee shirts under 100% cotton pinpoint white button down or spread color dress shirts. I spent a ton of money for dry cleaning and starching my shirts.

Recall rolling up your cigarettes in you T-shirt sleeve?. That was a few years ahead of me.

My husband wears a T shirt under his shirt in winter, but they are not white but blue or grey.

 

[Pappy]

I have many tee-shirts and they all have some kind of logo on them. No white ones left at all.

My son still wears white T-shirts as does my husband, my son wears them under his work shirt and my husband wears them to do yardwork and if he wears a dress shirt.

My husband wears a T shirt at night and boxer shorts, I don't ever remember him wearing pyjamas.

My husband wore a white COTTON tee shirt beneath his laundered starched dress shirt because it helped keep the laundered dress shirt fresher and avoided having to change mid-afternoon on hot muggy days. Always cotton never polyester or blend. He worked sales and had to appear as fresh for last customer of the day as the first.

Exactly my life!

I put on a white crew neck t-shirt every morning. Have about a dozen of them, plus a couple of colored ones and a number of printed colored t-shirts. During the winter, I will wear a long-sleeve shirt over a white t-shirt.

I have found out that, if I leave the white t-shirts in the dryer too long, the inside and outside of it will get burnt. IOW, rough to the touch. I don't like that feeling, so I've adjusted the time in the dryer. I will also use either fabric softener or Distilled Vinegar in the rinse. Never get the smell of vinegar after drying is done.

My late husband had white t-shirts only for going outside to mow the lawn or work on the car.

I very rarely wear anything but a T shirt with my trousers.

I guess I'm some sort of heathen. I used to wear white tee shirts under my shirts. Buy since I rarely wear a tie, I haven't worn a tee as an undergarment, in years. Got a drawer full of em, though. Alas is me.
