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.

If you decide to keep the nipples, you either need to block the sun, or else reflect an equal amount of light upwards.

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.

You're going to a wedding without wearing a jacket??

So THAT'S how it is in that family. . .

You can hardly see them nipples.

Pics of daughter's nipple shadows?

i think your answers are apparent.  either wear an undershirt, wear a jacket, or don't worry so much about it and be comfortable. let's not make this a thing.

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.

Spoiler

She was crying and wanted to go home, so Lizzy’s mother, Kari Knop, a registered nurse, was called at work. “I said, ‘Lizzy, I’m working,’” Ms. Knop said in a phone interview. “I told her, ‘Can you just put the undershirt on and call it a day?’”

Lizzy was embarrassed and angry but she relented. When she returned wearing the undershirt, the school principal had left. The dean, according to Lizzy, instructed her to “stand up and move around for her.”

“I looked at her and said, ‘What do you mean?’” Lizzy said. “I was a little creeped out by that.” The school has a strict disciplinary policy and she didn’t want to appear defiant. (School officials refused to comment, except in a statement.)

The dean told her that her nipples were still showing through her T-shirt and she should use bandages to cover them up. “She told me, ‘I’m thinking of ways I could fix this for you.’ She said, ‘I was a heavier girl and I have all the tricks up my sleeve,’” Lizzy said.

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

Spoiler

“They hurt,” Lizzy said. “If you ever put Band-Aids on your nipples, those things are stiff. Any time you move around you can just feel it. It’s like an annoying, rubbing feeling, especially in a sensitive area.” She wore the bandages for 45 minutes before she began crying in class. Her best friend took her to the bathroom and Lizzy lifted her shirt to show her the bandages. Then she peeled them off and contacted her mother.

“I got a text from Lizzy saying, ‘This is not a dress code violation and I feel completely attacked,’” said Ms. Knop. She was adamant that if Lizzy had been wearing a see-through or form-fitting shirt without a bra, she wouldn’t have allowed her daughter to leave the house. “The fact is that she wore a long sleeve T-shirt that was not see-through. It wasn’t even flattering,” said Ms. Knop. “So to say she was trying to be a distraction is absolutely absurd.”

“She didn’t even tell me about the Band-Aids until 28 hours later,” she said. “She was so embarrassed.”

In a prepared statement, Braden River High School officials said that the situation “should have been handled differently.” They maintained that Lizzy was in “violation” of the dress code and that their intention was to “assist the student in addressing the situation.”

The incident happened two weeks ago — Lizzy’s initial tweet about the incident went viral — but the backlash is still going strong. On Monday, Lizzy and some of her classmates held a silent protest in support of “the destigmitization of natural bodies.” Despite threats of disciplinary action, about 30 female students opted not to wear bras, and a number of students decorated their backpacks with Band-Aids in the shape of an X. One student wore a shirt that read, “Do my ni**ples offend you?” (The asterisks were hers.)

And because rules:

How about a white shirt that isn’t see thru? Are there any?

The fuck Bat? Posting a picture of a 17-year-old is not a fucking cool move

There are more in the Times story, if you're looking for them.

Unless we can see the nipples in question, it's really hard to judge whether or not I should be outraged.  I only have so much outrage to go around today.

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 never wear undershirts. If I’m wearing a shirt thin enough to see my nips then I’m also wearing a jacket

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.

every day.  i've never worn a dress shirt without an undershirt.

^^  Same here.  I prefer the v-neck, as I don't feel so stuffy that way, but I wear a shirt and tie almost every day and would not wear a shirt without an undershirt.

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?

it is. 

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.

Invite Emily Ratajkowski to your daughter's wedding.  I guarantee nobody will be worried about YOUR nipple shadow.

Is that the name of a band?

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.
