When the warmer weather arrives, we tend to think about shedding layers of clothing, but few people know how important it is to wear
a long-sleeved shirt, even in spring. Because it's not just a winter garment. In fact, there are many reasons to
wear an undershirt , such as keeping moisture at bay or coping with the unpredictable spring weather. Want to know more reasons?
5 reasons to wear a long-sleeved shirt (in spring)
Yes, you've probably heard the saying, "Don't take off your coat until May 40th." Nobody knows what spring will bring, so we've coined our own saying: "If you want to take off your
long-sleeved shirt in spring, don't do it, wait!" And these are some of the reasons we think you should keep in mind.
It protects you from the cold on a daily basis
The arrival of spring doesn't mean temperatures will rise. The days are getting longer and summer is getting closer, but the heat may not have made an appearance yet. So having an ace up your sleeve (or under your favorite outerwear) isn't a bad idea.
In spring, mornings and evenings are often still very cold , so if you're going to be active during these times, it's recommended that you wear a long-sleeved undershirt under your everyday clothes. This garment will keep you from feeling uncomfortable in the cold, and you'll have no problem combining it with shirts, sweatshirts, or other tops.
Very useful if you do outdoor sports
If you're athletic and enjoy cycling, skating, or running (i.e., any outdoor sport), a men's long-sleeved T-shirt
will not only protect you from the cold but will also wick away sweat. Especially if you wear
Abanderado's X-TEMP® line (made under license from HBI Branded Apparel Enterprises, LLC. X-Temp® is the trademark of HBI Branded Apparel Enterprises, LLC).
Thanks to
active thermoregulation technology , X-TEMP® garments are made from cotton that absorbs moisture and wicks it away, keeping your skin dry. This fabric controls body temperature and prevents excessive sweating.
This can be very useful even if you're practicing winter sports. Because in spring, there's still snow on many mountains, it can be an option for your leisure time, so we recommend you be prepared with this type of base layer.
Allows you to combine it with overshirts
For those looking for a different outfit for their everyday life, there's nothing better in spring than starting to pull out overshirts. These versatile garments can be worn as a warm outer layer (if the cold isn't too harsh) or
combined with a biker or bomber jacket .
The combination with a long-sleeved cotton T-shirt is perfect, as
it will serve perfectly as both an undergarment and an outer garment : it can be seen in the chest area under the slightly unbuttoned overshirt and serve as an outer shirt if you decide that it is too hot to wear the overshirt indoors.
It gives you extra protection if you are a biker
Riding a motorcycle in spring can be just as cold as riding in winter, as
temperatures can drop by as much as 10 degrees while riding . For this reason, it's important to wear warm underwear to protect the rider's body during rides.
If you thought thermal clothing was only for winter, think again! Depending on the temperature, you can opt for a long-sleeved T-shirt under your biker gear or select one from
Abanderado's Termaltech line. This fabric generates and retains heat, making it ideal for outdoor activities in low temperatures.
It lets you innovate: go for a 90s look!
Did you think '90s looks would never come back? That layering a short-sleeved tee over a long-sleeved one would never be fashionable again? Fashion trends are cyclical, and that
two-tee combo is back.
While it's certainly a look for the most alternative and innovative, why not give it a try?
The key is to match the colors of both shirts well : for example, the arms of a white long-sleeved shirt will stand out against a short-sleeved shirt with your favorite design.
So, as you can see, there are many reasons why wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt in spring is a good idea. Don't have yours yet? On the Abanderado website, you'll find different designs and colors of this versatile undergarment.
