13 Best Short-Sleeve Tops and Tees That Won't Give You Armpit Stains
We’ve had to come to terms with the fact that armpit sweat stains aren’t just for 14-year-old boys. For those of Us who tend to sweat a lot, antiperspirant deodorant only goes so far — when you start to see a little dark circle form under the arm of your tight gray top, you’ve reached the point of no return.
Not only is it embarrassing, but it’s uncomfortable, too! You can’t lift your arms more than 45 degrees from your body, so you walk around like a pencil until you home, only to change into another tee that gives you stains. What a cycle!
If wearing a tight top, it’s better to go for dark colors like black and navy that hide wetness marks. White is another option, but sweat often has a yellowish tint…so maybe not! The best option is to wear tops that are loose around the armpits. We found 13 short-sleeve tops and tees that are either dark enough to cover up sweat or that stay away from that region altogether. Scroll on!
