undershirts
Worn beneath shirts
Undershirts are lightweight garments worn beneath a shirt, typically sleeveless or short-sleeved.
They absorb sweat, provide an extra layer of warmth, and protect outer clothing from body oils.
The ribbed sleeveless style is sometimes called a tank top or, less politely, a wifebeater: He answered the door in an undershirt and boxers.
