For real. Everytime I get in the shower I end up having to point the showerhead away and cower from the cold water and I could have just turned it on first?

    I lived the same “realization moment” last year talking to a friend.

    I was saying that I need to go home to wash my white undershirts as I only got blacks left (small t-shirt to wear under a shirt and not freeze to death during winter).

    He asked me why so I have several colors of undershirts.

    Well, black and grey for black or dark colored shirts, white for white or clear colored shirts otherwise you’ll see it behind the fabric, duuuh, are you dumb?

    The answer:

    Or you can wear white ones under dark shirts as well and it won’t be visible…

    🤔🤔🤔😧 FFS dude, why did I never thought of that?

      I wish the same were true for bras. Women’s shirts are often much thinner than men’s, so a white bra might show through a dark shirt. It took me until this year to figure out that in order to make your bras less visible under light or white shirts, you should use a skin-tone bra instead of a white bra. Blew my mind when I figured that one out.

        I had the skin tone bra thing down pat, but blew my mind when I realized you can also have cute color bras that match or contrast with the outer clothes so if your strap shows it looks intentional!

      You gan also use light grey in most cases, except almost translucent clothes.

      Why light grey ? Because you can wash it with dark or light clothes, worst case it get a bit darker or lighter. And as there is almost no color, it doesn’t spill on other clothes. Moreover, unlike white clothes, you fon’t have to worry about it getting a bit yellowish with time, the color is enough to mask it.
