Why do dudes wear crew neck t-shirts under polo shirts?

And seeing people's back and chest hair through the shirt, not to mention nipple regions.  
 
 If people paid attention to thread count, I would agree with you, GGW, but since most people don't, under shirts for white (and light colored) dress shirts have become a must.
 
 And nothing absorbs sweat quite like a dress shirt.  Even light sweat shows up on colored dress shirt very badly.  
 
 And don't get me started on dress shirts and no tie, with no undershirt.  Absolutely wrong!

Because they believe that showing that they could afford the extra $6.00 monogramming fee will exhibit their wealth.   It's a nouveau-riche thing.

We can't all put a coat of arms on our crest, now can we?

Point taken.  But rather than spending the money on the t-shirts, they should just buy a dress shirt that is opaque enough to cover their hairy torsos.
 
 My personal favorite was the intern we had a few summers ago who would wear his white dress shirt with his Coed Naked Whatever shirt underneath.

I was assuming plain white shirts.  T-shirts with writing are never OK, even when you think there's no way they can be seen.  One wrong stretch and you're exposed.

uh-oh, I agree with GGW on something.

Tassles on shoes is what's wrong.

Tassles on shoes, and boat shoes.

Hopefully it was work appropriate, so I'm going to guess...
 
 Coed Naked Corporate Mergers?

I knew a guy, we call him "Tassle Man". He wore white crew necks under purple plaid (starched) button down short-sleeved Polo oxfords. He wore tassled shoes w/ no socks showing off his white feet vs. tan legs.
 I'm so mean. Why did I post this? I hate this thread.

I had a high school English teacher who would marvel the class with his tales of shopping at outlet stores up and down the East Coast.  He wouldn't pay over 25 bucks for a pair of shoes, and most of his pants were the Bike brand.

Rhett was your English teacher?

There was this psudo-goth local band called Clay People from back when I was in college. Their singer was named Dan. My friends and I called him "One Vest Dan" in honor of the fact that he seemed to wear the same time every time you saw him around. I drunkenly told him his nickname at a part one time, and he was none too pleased.

Yes, he kept a switch in the corner next to his banjo.  If you didn't read the Eudora Welty chapter assigned, hell, you were in for a whippin.
