for the type who wears pants. Figured you wandered around in public in your tighty whities.

Then it's an objective sight and smell comparative test. If and when you get to where you simply must put on a clean shirt, you can deal with it then.

But I also have to leave for work fairly early in the morning so I don't have time for indecisive what-to-wear-today shenanigans.

but then, almost all of my T-shirts are plain, with no advertising or promotions on them.

All I have to do is select the color, or which I have too many brown, tan, blue, or gray ones.

If the color doesn't clash too much with my pants I'm good to go. I don't really like paying rich people for the privilege of displaying their advertising.

I live in NE FL so wear tank tops, shorts and sandals from April-Nov. After that, the weather is very changeable so I wear either capris or jeans and shirts, jackets according to the temp.

I reinforce everything with fray check.
I tie the neck and armhole with wide bias tape, so it doesn't fit sloppy.
Then, I wear a cami underneath or even another tank top. (I buy them big so, they're more like smocks)
Then, they don't end up getting stinky with sweat.
I have two with Kamala's face silkscreened, so I don't want to wash them very often

Of course, I don't wear anything with sleeves either until November. Even then, I often wear tanks tops and shorts most of the winter and just bring a sweater along. (Of course, unless it actually gets cold)

I'm a precinct chair and I block walk. I was afraid voters probably wouldn't "get" the comma reference. So, I've just got her face..LOL

One is KAMALA 2024 with a picture of her as Rosie the Riveter, the other is Harris for President with a beautiful picture of her with a rainbow background. Both are iron on.

Do I have a clean, soft T that reaches my knees so I don't need shorts?
Is anyone stopping by? Is It a holiday I need to honor?
Grateful Dead? Rolling Stones? Quicksilver Messenger? Emerald Triangle?
Plain, which color?

I need a nap.

I haven't worn a tee shirt in 30 years.
I don't even wear polo shirts for golf.
I'm a Hawaiian, cabana, or dress shirt guy.

For example, today is Saturday and I'm wearing my red, white and blue t-shirt that has "Barbecue Brisket 2024" printed on it, I have been wearing it on Saturdays ever since I got it. Tomorrow is Sunday and my usual Sunday t-shirt is light blue with a yellow VW Bug and a surfboard printed on it. I am partial to plain pocket t-shirts and wear those a lot during the week.

I open the drawer, grab the shirt on top and put it on. Do laundry every two or three days which means I basically wear the same two or three shirts. It’s a dual process cause I have work T-shirts and at home tshirts.
