When I wear one of my favorite button up shirts, some of my chest hair tends to stick out a little bit. The next button up is too high and I'd look like a reeree so that's not an option. I don't want to intimidate my co-workers with my overt manliness, so is this acceptable?

undo the next button. show them your full manliness obviously

7/6/2009 8:31:22 AM

undershirt?

7/6/2009 8:33:49 AM

i dont know about chest hair


but that damn neck hair aint gonna cut it period

7/6/2009 8:34:11 AM

undo the next button and add a gold chain

7/6/2009 8:34:19 AM

undershirts are unacceptable in the summertime

7/6/2009 8:39:44 AM

i was told that undershirts are unprofessional.

i do not use one, i think thats perfectly acceptable.

7/6/2009 8:41:01 AM

i always wear an undershirt- if I get too hot, I take off my collared shirt (cause that usually means I am outside and it is acceptable to wear a tshirt when it is hot outside, imo)

7/6/2009 8:41:44 AM

^^^ for those of use that work inside, season is inconsequential.

yeha, the only way i could see that is if you wore a tshirt that had stuff written on it that you could read underneath your outer shirt (which you can solve by simply turning the undershirt inside out)

7/6/2009 8:54:08 AM

chest hair isn't a huge deal, but that little random clump of neck hair is no good

CLEAN THAT SHIT UP SON

It takes like two seconds to get that little bit of neckline that is above the collar anyway, I usually get that too, but probably isn't a huge deal unless people get that close to you often

7/6/2009 9:03:16 AM

Undershirts unprofessional? It's called a V-neck, motherfuckers.

7/6/2009 9:05:10 AM

you're fine.

7/6/2009 9:05:24 AM

I wear v-neck undershirts solely for the purpose of letting everyone have a glimpse of my billowing chest hair.

I feel the opposite.

It keeps all the sweat from showing through your clothes. I've tried both with and without an undershirt, and I don't feel any hotter or sweat any more with an undershirt, but without an undershirt, the shirt that I do wear will be soaked in sweat.

[Edited on July 6, 2009 at 9:24 AM. Reason : THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION]

7/6/2009 9:23:43 AM

i wear v-neck undershirts because they don't choke me out, keep me sweat stain free, and allow me to proudly display my chest hair year round.

7/6/2009 9:26:43 AM

I don't produce chest hair or back hair son.

Dat shit's filthy anyways son.

7/6/2009 9:35:05 AM

you'll hit puberty soon son

soon son

7/6/2009 9:40:56 AM

^^maybe you are a woman, son.

7/6/2009 9:41:10 AM

Undershirts show that you care about your appearance in a respectable way. Flaunting your chest hair shows that you care even more about your appearance, but in a different way. Both are acceptable in the workplace, but don't go around looking like this guy:



There is a fine line here where you can either be a Douchebag or a Player.

quick- to the google machine:

"I generally wear undershirts at all times. Is that still acceptable? Also, what is the best undershirt (tee, not tank)? Here’s my response: Mike, Without a doubt, it’s completely ok to wear an undershirt. There’s no hard fast rule as to what style of undershirt to wear, but if you don’t mind them showing, a nice clean, crisp, and well maintained crew neck undershirt will always look great. If you prefer them not to show, go with a lower cut crew or opt for his cousin, the v-neck undershirt. There are so many different undershirts available, it’s hard to say exactly what would be the best undershirt for your particular body size, shape and style. Either visit your local Macys or check out the available options at freshpair.com or barenecessities.com. If you have any specific questions, feel free to drop me a line directly. Best, Tug"

The Second button literally makes or breaks the shirt. Look at it, its too high, its in no-mans-land. You look like you live with your mother

Another chest hair hiding technique is to grow a really long beard.

7/6/2009 9:45:08 AM

My manliness is overt my son, but it is in other ways son. This beard guy ^ knows what I'm talkin bout.

None o dat chest/back hair filth son.

7/6/2009 9:46:01 AM

just worry about the hair growing out of your ears

7/6/2009 9:48:26 AM

Thank god I have no filthy ear hair either my son!

i just never wear undershirts

ever

7/6/2009 10:04:02 AM

i didn't either, but i started to when it got so damn cold

7/6/2009 10:05:26 AM

if i'm wearing anything fancier than a tshirt, i always wear an undershirt.

i used to even wear undershirts w/ tshirts, but that got a little ridiculous.

7/6/2009 10:05:52 AM

fuck you tww.

[Edited on July 6, 2009 at 10:06 AM. Reason : .]

7/6/2009 10:05:52 AM

I do wear the standard (Crew?) neck undershirts my son (None o dat v-neck bullshit son, fuck dat shit son), but not for the purpose of hiding chest hair son.

^^ I will do that undershirt/t-shirt combo on occasion as well my son. If I do it's generally for sweat absorption, with the desired effect being that I don't end up with pit stains son.

7/6/2009 10:06:34 AM

sadly, my chest hair cannot be hidden by an undershirt.

Compared to my hair sweater, burt reynolds just had a little peach fuzz.

7/6/2009 10:09:10 AM

Then rock out with your chest locks out.

7/6/2009 10:11:21 AM

The best thing about it is that I'm never without dental floss.

7/6/2009 10:15:01 AM

That is filthy son.

Absolutely filthy.

7/6/2009 10:16:42 AM

i, too, have a lot of chest hair

7/6/2009 10:17:32 AM

Naw son.

7/6/2009 10:20:12 AM

white undershirts look retarded

[Edited on July 6, 2009 at 10:25 AM. Reason : in this situation]

Grey is better my son.

Definitely better.
