The 10 Best Men's Undershirts For Every Budget

An undershirt is an often-overlooked men's essential. (Be honest, the last time you bought an undershirt did you really think about the quality and fit?) With all the innovations with fabric, an undershirt should no longer make you feel warm or look obvious underneath your clothes. So, it's definitely time for a good refresh.

Whether you're wearing it under a dress shirt or for your barong Tagalog, an undershirt is an important component that shouldn't be an afterthought. It takes a bit of work to find out what works for you, but we've narrowed it down to the best undershirt brands. From Uniqlo to Spanx, here are the best undershirts for men to buy right now.

Hanes' three-pack of V-neck T-shirts is another great deal. As a tried-and-trusted brand, it's a good idea to stock up on these in bulk. It doesn't get more classic than this.

P1,950
BUY

We're stepping into luxurious territory now, starting with Bread & Boxers. Sure, it may look just like your regular tee but if you try it out you'll definitely notice how it uses 100-percent cotton fabric. Think of it as an undershirt that you can wear out in public on its own.

Calvin Klein does basic essentials well. The brand's idea of a basic tee, for instance, slips-on with ease and is unlined. There's also a subtle embroidered logo on the chest.

A P4,000 undershirt is ridiculous, to say the least. A P4,000 undershirt with slimming technology, however? We'll take it. It has that compression technology that Spanx is known for, after all.
