When wearing a white dress shirt, how do you avoid nipple shadow, other than wearing an under shirt? With a June family wedding under the hot sun, I don't want to wear an undershirt.

Why wouldn't you wear an undershirt to help keep the sweat from showing through your dress shirt?

I'm a low sweater. Not necessary. The extra warmth created by the undershirt actually adds to sweating.

I see.  I'm a moderate sweater, and the marginal warmth created with a light undershirt is worth not having the perspiration show through.

Ask your wife if you can borrow her pasties (she keeps them in the middle right drawer, beneath her gym shorts, next to some of her toys). 

Or you can buy some for yourself if you're worried about it

What kind of guy worries about what they are going to wear to something two months in advance? 
Oh . . . never mind.

Well, it is my daughter’s wedding.

Nipples. Serious bidness.

 

Is Your Body Appropriate to Wear to School?

It started with a sunburn.

Lizzy Martinez, 17, a junior at Braden River High School in Bradenton, Fla., had been swimming and tanning all weekend at a water park in Orlando. But when Monday morning came and she had to get dressed for school, Lizzy’s bra felt painfully constricting on her burned skin.

So she ditched the bra and purposely chose to wear something dark and loose — a long sleeve, oversize, crew neck gray T-shirt — so she wouldn’t draw attention to her chest.

But around 10 a.m., about 15 minutes into her veterinary assistance class, Lizzy was called out of the classroom for a meeting with two school officials, Dean Violeta Velazquez and Principal Sharon Scarbrough. They asked her why she wasn’t wearing a bra.

She said she told her school administrators about the sunburn. They insisted that she was violating the school dress code. (The 2017-2018 Code of Student Conduct does not say bras must be worn by female students.) They told her to put on an undershirt because boys were “looking and laughing” at her, a detail she later challenged. “No one said a thing to me until I got to the dean’s office,” Lizzy said.

Lizzy was given four adhesive bandages from the school clinic. “They had me ‘X’ out my nipples,” she said.

I’m getting no help here. Nipple exposure is a serious issue. Are all you fancy boys that wear suits every day telling me you all wear undershirts all the time? That’s outrageous.

I’ve spent a lifetime ignoring the most basic of shirt characteristics, like fabric type, thread count, weave, etc. The Nipple Shadow problem consumed me so I went off and researched it way more than is normal. It turns out that you can get solid high quality dress shirts without nipple shadow as long as you have the right fabrics, ply, weave, thread count, and thread tightness. The only problem is that opaque dress shirts are not wrinkle resistant or no-iron. So now the trade off is nipple shadow vs undershirt show vs wrinkly shirt. Tough decision.

Because things like your daughter's wedding just aren't worth paying for dry cleaning and starch.

I can wrinkle a freshly pressed and starched shirt in about thirty minutes. I must be slovenly.

Wife beater. Covers the nips, won't be as hot or constricting.  

But you're really not wearing a jacket to your daughter's wedding?

This thread is bizarre.

Wear a dress shirt (starched or not) (thick or not). Wear a jacket (which will happen during ceremony and pics regardless).

Wear whatever is comfortable at the reception. If you ditch the jacket for a while and your giant pepperoni areola and inch long nipple cast a shadow who cares? If you sweat a little who cares? If you’re drunk and shirtless on the dance floor grinding on that tall blonde bridesmaid because your chaffing nipples bled all over a starched fine point oxford and you had to remove your shirt and then the warm air further excited your stiff nipples and now you’re casting a pants tent shadow...who cares it is your daughters wedding.

Well maybe I over did the last one, but Father of the bride you’re over thinking this.

Has anyone suggested the Duluth T-shirt? Or undershirt? I’m not sure which it is. They are bad ass though.

Just ordered this. And I bought a $95 custom shirt that claims it’s pretty opaque.

Yes I’m wearing a jacket, but the wedding is outside in 98 degree heat. I could see wanting to remove the jacket inside at some point during the reception.
