You have probably experienced the embarrassment that comes from realizing your shirt has sweat stains. In these situations, you have some options that can help mask or prevent the sweat stains themselves.
1. Choose clothing by color and material. Some colors show sweat stains more rapidly than others, such as gray or light colors. Other colors are more forgiving and do a better job of hiding the stains, such as navy blue and black. Surprisingly enough, some shades of white can hide sweat, while others show it up––this requires some at-home experimentation. Stay away from synthetic fibers like rayon and polyester. Choose natural materials like cotton or linen instead. These fabrics will help your skin breathe in a way that synthetics can’t. There are even new fabrics being developed that completely wick away sweat. Figure out what works best for you.
2. Wear different clothing. Put on an undershirt. This might just make you sweat more, but many men find that an undershirt is a good option. This allows your outer shirt to stay dry, while the undershirt will catch the sweat. Find loose fitting clothes that allow your skin to breathe and air to circulate. Choose shirts that are cut lower under the armpits so that your skin and the shirt touch less.
3. Opt for products that prevent sweat stains. Use antiperspirant. Sometimes all it takes is looking for a stronger antiperspirant to stop the sweat stains. Make sure that whatever you use (roll-on, spray) doesn’t irritate your skin.
