6 Sweat-Proof Shirts That Will Kick Pit Stains to the Curb Once and for All
Though the dog days of summer are behind us, the sweaty days of fall are only beginning.
Each year, following Labor Day, I somehow become hopeful that the air will magically turn into the perfect crisp temperature, making each day more ideal than the last. However, as we all know, it’s not quite sweater weather (or cardigan weather) yet. And, even when it is, the outside temperature tends to be pretty different than your sweltering office and crowded commute. All these factors can lead to just about anyone having a bit of embarrassing underarm wetness.
But, there is a better way than grinning and bearing it: wearing sweat-wicking, breathable, and sweat-hiding clothing. We turned to our favorite basics provider Amazon to find the best pieces you should add to your wardrobe to make sure you never have another sweat-stained t-shirt again. Scroll down to shop our top picks.
