Yeah and it's really silly. Outer wear shouldn't be washed very often. Shirts should be washed when they are actually dirty which is either because you had an accident or dirt around the cuffs and collar has built up. They are expensive and washing damages them. There's no reason why shirts shouldn't last ten years or more. I was my shirts only a few times a year. My suits less than once a year. I wear under-shirts for this very reason. Sweat and oil from my skin will be absorbed by the under-shirt. These are cheap garments that are never meant to be seen so you can safely wash them after every use. Grey or skin colour is the best colour for an undershirt. White is fine unless you wear a white shirt. It should be a t-shirt rather than a vest (so it covers the armpits) but it's essential that it's a V-neck shirt so that it's not visible when your collar is open (your underwear should never be visible).
